Roadskin’s armoured bike hoodie protected me in a 60mph roll - Carol's story
Roadskin customer Carol West contacted us the day after rolling her new Harley while travelling at 60mph. Incredibly, despite the impact of the fall and the slide along the tarmac, she came off pretty much unscathed – thanks partly to her protective Easyrider II Roadskin hoodie.
Roadskin motorcycle jeans get everywhere - even Kazakhstan. For one customer, they undoubtedly saved him from greater injury.
Four years ago, Tim and Sue Angus were on the final leg of their round-the-world motorbike adventure when they crashed their bike in Kazakhstan, breaking bones and ribs, but not their love of motorcycling...

Had a small off on the bike, slid down the road, not only did they not get any damage at all! Absolutely no road rash on my arms / legs either.
I have the Taranis jeans and Easyrider hoody. Absolutely fantastic kit and I will be continuing to wear the gear knowing it’s safe. Top rated kit as far as I’m concerned and have recommended to everyone at work already following the accident.Roadskin thank you very much from me and my family!
Story from Kevin:
"So my girlfriend was getting ready to sit her mod 1 test so we went out on a route I knew. We were heading up a twisty B road at 50mph when my bike just went from underneath me. I came down on my left and slid @30m in total. The police measured a diesel spill at between 440-500m. I slid so far I wore through the elbows & a shoulder on my leather jacket. I had a few bumps & bruises but not a mark below the waist. The jeans are slightly frayed on the seam & shiny around the left knee. I was really impressed with how they stood up & wouldn't wear any other brand now. Keep the good kit coming!"
