Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Roadskin® Taranis Elite motorcycle jeans for men, in black, achieve the highest possible protection rating - AAA – in one cool and comfortable layer
Roadskin’s Taranis Elite motorcycle jeans in black are our latest motorcycle jeans and the first to provide the AAA safety rating in a single layer, as tested by SATRA Technology Centre in the UK. This is achieved by weaving the protective Kevlar fibres into premium denim, so they feel and look exactly like a regular five-pocket pair of jeans but give you the peace of mind that comes with wearing AAAs. The Taranis also contains a good amount of elastane for stretch, ensuring you’ll be as comfortable on the bike as off it. Soft to the touch, they look great and will keep you safe.
Please watch our sizing video at the bottom of this page to ensure you order the correct waist size, especially if you are ordering from the USA/CAN as sizing criteria differs slightly. The required inside leg length is measured at the point where the jeans meet the crotch, down to the ankle seam.
Taranis Motorcycle Jeans Features:
Our motorcycle jeans are designed with safety and comfort in mind. They are lined with a special mesh material that serves a dual purpose. Firstly, the mesh allows for proper ventilation, so you can stay cool even on hot summer days. Secondly, and more importantly, in the event of an accident, the mesh provides an added layer of protection to prevent your skin from tearing upon initial impact. This feature can greatly reduce the severity of injuries in a motorcycle accident. So you can ride with peace of mind knowing that you're not only comfortable but also protected.
Cut with a straight leg in black denim, the stylish and lightweight triple-stitched Taranis Elite motorcycle jeans will take you anywhere you want to go – they’re tough enough for the road, stylish enough for work and great for the pub. They are especially suitable for touring in all climates except the coldest (for cold weather, we recommend our Paranoid X AAA motorcycle jeans).

Armour
Important information regarding motorcycle jean armour
It is very important to wear the armour provided with these motorcycle jeans, not just to help protect your bones but also to reduce the impact of the bone against the fabric in the key areas. The fabric is not designed to withstand impact injury, in the key areas, without armour.

Numbers That Mislead
Have you ever wondered why you’re a size 38 in one brand, a 36 in another, and then somehow a 39 elsewhere? It’s frustrating, right? Those numbers are supposed to represent accurate measurements but often don’t add up.
Committed to Perfect Sizing
At Roadskin®, we believe in keeping it real. When we say a pair of our jeans has a 36-inch waist, it measures 36 inches around the waist—no sneaky surprises. If the inseam says 30 inches, you can bet it’s 30 inches long. Actual numbers. Actual measurements.
Production Variability
That said, denim can be a tricky beast. Different washes and how our protection layers interact during production can slightly affect sizing. We do everything possible to keep those variances small, but no one's perfect! Even with our commitment to accuracy, mistakes happen. We're only human. Mislabelling or production hiccups can sneak in occasionally. If that happens, shout. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure you have the correct size and fit.
Finding Your Size - The Right Way to Do It
The best way to determine your correct Roadskin® Motorcycle Jean size is to grab and measure a pair of jeans you love. Yes, it takes a moment, but it’ll save you a lot of hassle later.
Waist Measurements
Lay your jeans flat and pull the waistband out tight (but not stretched beyond its natural limit if there’s any give). Measure from one side of the inside waistband to the other, then double that number. Boom—that’s your waist size.
Inseam Measurements
Lay one leg flat and straight. Measure from the cuff edge up the inseam to where it meets the crotch seam. Remember to follow the seam curve to get the most accurate measurement.
Take the time to measure once, and ride in comfort forever. Got questions? Reach out—we’re here to help.
