Model is 6ft, 15 stone and is wearing a 34/32.
Roadskin’s Taranis motorcycle jeans in black offer AAA-level protection as certified by the SATRA Technology Centre in the UK. Crafted from premium denim interwoven with durable Kevlar fibres, these single-layer jeans maintain the natural appearance and comfort of a classic five-pocket design while delivering top-tier safety. With added elastane for flexibility, the Taranis ensures comfort during rides and everyday wear. Soft, stylish, and expertly engineered, these jeans provide reliable protection without compromising on style or ease of movement.
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 skin 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).

Please watch our sizing video lower down 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.
Our Taranis Elite jeans come with Level 2 Smoothways armour as standard at no extra cost. However, for riders who prefer an alternative, Roadskin® has partnered with RHEON™ to offer the option of purchasing their Level 2 knee and hip armour, which are compatible with these jeans.

Fit good looks good
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
what a first rate customer service experience, placed my order and tracked it with royal snail, delivery day went by and no show, checked next day and parcel still stuck in Bristol sorting office. Sent an email to customer services and a really helpful lady called Deborah checked if there was anything she could do her end. She also saw it was stuck in Bristol sorting office so arranged another delivery. That one came straight through, first rate service unlike Royal snail. So glad i chose Roadskin to get my jeans from the cut and fit of them is spot on and they really do come in true to size and with that bit of stretch in them they are really comfy when you are on the bike. They also look good when you are off the bike with the confidence of the AAA rating just in case, not that i plan on trying testing them out. Would not hesitate to get another pair now i have seen the cut, fit and quality and will be buying other items as well from them

Fantastic quality, true fit 32/30 for my actual size. The added knee and hip pads are a great. Im definitely going to order a second pair. Would definitely recommend 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Great fit. Exact to size. Seem very good quality and very comfortable. Can be worn all day. The fact you get the free gloves on offer make everything all reasonably priced. Hopefully they should last a long time. Very pleased. Would recommend.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
These jeans are very comfortable to wear. I particularly like the stretch in the material, the height of the rear waistline and the ease with which you can set the knee pads at different heights. Slightly thicker than other single layer jeans I've had but hopefully will wear well.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Great comfy pair of jeans straight out the box will be ordering another pair
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black

Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Good jeans innit
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Great quality, comfortable to wear, nice & stretchy, but not baggy. Look like normal jeans. Arrived on day I was advised, although I didn’t need to return the product, it came with all you needed to return wrong size etc in the box & step by step guide how to do it. Well thought out customer service
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
I bought these jeans as they were AAA rated, when they arrived they were to big. I sent them back immediately and their was no hassle whatsoever exchanging them. Both times the postage was quick. The jeans are of good quality and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, so if you are looking at these, look no further, just buy them.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
These jeans are super comfortable and fit perfectly on and off the bike. They are as smart to wear as your favourite jeans. So super comfy, really nice to wear, smart looking and all with the comfort factor that they are highly protective and safe too. You need to get a pair.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
These are the most comfortable and lightweight riding/touring jeans I’ve come across. Well cut, well fitting, beautifully tailored and, as I say, really comfortable on and off the bike. Excellent. The proof – I’m about to order another pair.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black - 32 / 30"/76cm-SHORT
These are very comfortable, high-quality riding jeans that I wholeheartedly recommend. The armour is equally comfortable, well located, the pockets are the right depth, the triple stitching and other tailoring details excellent. The only suggestion I would make for improving them is that length comes currently in 2 sizes, short (30) and long (32), and at 5’11” I fall squarely in the middle of the 2-3” difference. A 3rd length of medium size (31) would be ideal.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Perfect fit quality product.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Really happy with these jeans. Comfortable, great sizing and look really good.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
I tried other motorcycle jeans but never felt that safe in them. But knowing the roadskins are AAA gives me more confidence riding.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Great product and customer service. Both 10/10.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
On time. Good gear. Not the first time I've got some things from them.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
You get what you pay for, needed some new bike jeans and these are by far the best ones I have brought. They look good, really comfy, a great fit, the armour goes in really easily and once they are on you forget you are wearing bike gear. Can't recommend these enough. Great service through out will definitely be going back for more gear.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
I got these a few weeks back. I chose Roadskin because they looked after me when I misjudged a bend and hit the deck at 50mph. That was the full double layer pair from a few years back. They're great, but also really heavy. The single layer is barely heavier than normal jeans, slightly stretchy and super comfortable. Most importantly you get real airflow on the bike which means you don't feel like a boil in the bag fish. Put that together with the AAA protection and it's a brilliant product.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Parcel arrived quickly and beautifully packed. Well cut five pocket jeans, true to size. They look like regular jeans, which makes them great for work or leisure. Woking in summer temperatures of over 25 deg C. they are on the hot side of comfortable (any jean would be), but out on the bike, they're fine. The fabric is much softer, and therefore more comfortable than some other brands. Hoping they will get even softer in use and after washing. The standard armour is a bit bulky, so I would upgrade to D30 or similar with my next pair. Overall very satisfied with the jeans and value for money.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Comfortable protective jeans, they fit perfectly and you wouldn't even know that they're riding jeans!
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
The jeans are an excellent fit, and remarkably comfortable. As they are AAA rated they are warmer than my regular jeans, but that is to be expected. Really happy with the purchase. If buying or receiving the free glove offer, I found i could have gone down a size, but they are also great quality gloves. Will definitely be using Roadskin again.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
The Roadskin jeans are an amazing fit and quality. They look and fit like regular designer label quality jeans and are comfortable to wear all day on the motorbike. These are the only bike jeans I have found that truly fit like normal jeans and have the highest AAA level of protection. I had to go a size smaller and the returns policy was excellent and professional. Great jeans and a great company to deal with.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Been riding 26 years and these are the best riding jeans i've had, so stop buggering about and buy a pair. Comfortable to wear on and off the bike,AAA level protection,the Rheon armour is light and breathable. Support this company,buy some kit,I also have a pair of the paranoid x for winter and spring riding,strongly recommend those for when the temperatures start to drop.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black

Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
As described. Comfortable casual jeans.

Top 👍 Great
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
First pair of motocycling trousers I've ever bought, thanks to watching Richard and Eva on YouTube. They're really comfortable, and the waist fits perfectly. I ordered the standard leg length, which is a little on the long side for me, but still fine. When I placed my first order, it showed that I would receive a free pair of gloves. I'm not sure why I didn't receive them, but never mind. Overall, I would recommend this product.
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Brilliant jeans, best I've had 👍
Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in black
Excellent product and nicely packaged as it was a present! Gloves that were free added bonus!

All you need to know about motorcycle jeans - from sizing, to CE ratings to how to care for your Roadskin's.
Since 21st April 2018 all motorcycle clothing has to be certified as PPE or Personal Protective Equipment by law. Below is a brief summary of testing and classification for your information.
Clothing is classified to different levels AAA being the most protective down to C being the least. Loosely speaking you can say that they are most suited to the type of riding below but always go for the highest if possible.
This testing is done by certified bodies both here and abroad under the standard EN 17092-2.
All of our protective motorcycle gear is tested in the UK by SATRA or INTERTEK Italia S,p.a and you can find our declarations of conformity here.
Keeping your motorcycle jeans in peak condition is important not just for how they look but for your safety – you might say, there’s a lot riding on it!
Once you’ve settled on a favourite pair, and worn them in, and they’ve become a faithful friend in pretty much every and any riding situation, you’ll want them to last forever.
We have all heard about the denim aficionados are reluctant to wash their jeans, but motorcycle jeans are different. Not washing them means that they will inevitably degrade over time, thanks for grime, grease and sweat.
We have produced a guide on keeping them clean and in tip top condition - view the full guide.
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. Thankfully it's rare, but 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. If you find you are between sizes on the waist (i.e 35",37" etc), our advice would be to go DOWN a size. Our jeans have 5% Lycra® in them, so have a nice amount of stretch to accommodate that extra inch!
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.
