Taranis Motorcycle Jeans Sizing Guide

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.

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.

Having been recommended by a close friend, I was hopeful that these jeans would meet my expectations. Well they did and indeed exceeded them. The waistline for my 34'' Long was perfect and the material was very reassuring. For the first time I had protective knee pads that were located in the right place and I love the idea of having different retainers to move them up or down. These are by far the best riding jeans I have bought and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Well don RoadSkin.

Staff at Roadskin were excellent in dealing with queries regards sizing etc. . Price was reasonable for AAA rated bike jeans and delivery was very quick. I am delighted with the jeans which fit well and look great. A big bonus is the included knee and hip armour. Thank you so much from a very satisfied customer.

Great Jeans! I'm 6'7 with a 35 inch inseam, i purchased the 34inch leg and they are a really good fit, especially when wearing my boots. Material is great. First pair of premium bike jeans I've bought, have gone cheaper before and the difference is night and day! Very comfortable. I've done just under 3 hours on the bike wearing them and the comfort was fantastic. It was hitting 32° and at no point did they feel massively uncomfortable. Will definitely buy another pair Steve

I have legs like tree trunks and normally have to go for oversized baggie bike gear but I risked ordering my actual waist size and because of the stretch in the denim these fit really well and for the first time, I can go out on the bike wearing jeans that protect me and also are comfortable and look like normal jeans when I’m off the bike. I would definitely recommend these jeans.

I already had tried Hood (terrible fit and heavy), Richa , (dreadful) , Rokker (lovely, very expensive and not comfortable ) Halvarsons (terrible fit, awful armour ) and now Road Skins. Well made, lightish and a good fit. Well placed armour and just right to fit over my Daytona boots. Very comfortable after a fairly long ride. Excellent value for money and will buy again.

After completing a 3,000-mile road trip to the Italian Dolomites, I can confidently say these single-layer AAA-rated motorcycle jeans exceeded my expectations. They were incredibly comfortable during long days in the saddle, with no pressure points or discomfort, even after hours of riding. The single-layer construction made a noticeable difference in warmer temperatures, providing excellent breathability without compromising on the reassuring AAA safety rating. They also performed well across a wide range of conditions, from cool mountain passes to hot valley roads. The fit remained comfortable throughout the trip, the build quality proved excellent, and they still look as good as they did before setting off. For anyone looking for motorcycle jeans that combine genuine protection, all-day comfort, and understated style, these are an outstanding choice. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them on my next long-distance adventure.

I’ve tried a few jeans from other shops and not found a pair that fits without looking like grandad jeans until now! I’ve been told I’ve got rugby legs , so when I’ve tried jeans before there is pressure on the knee with the thinnest of cat2 armour in. Not the case here with Roadskin . They fit and look great and still comfortable at 30 degrees! Thankyou Roadskin 🫡

Taranis Elite AAA-rated single-layer motorcycle jeans in dark indigo blue

Given I wore these in 35-38 degree heat, I can’t say they were uncomfortably hot. Hot yes, but comfort was never an issue. They feel good. They feel strong. They are flexible. Very well made with years of development and continuous thought. Top class

19 hours and 460 miles ridden in two extremely hot days wearing brand new Roadskin Taranis AAA rated jeans. Cafe stops. Climbing up hillsides. Steep steps. No stiffness or resistance at all. No sticky sweaty feeling. Forgot I was wearing them. Customer service exceptional. Problem with large thighs. Staff suggested Relaxed Fit version. (Not on website!). Measured them while on the phone. (Short version of long story!) Super quick delivery. Thoroughly recommend the product and the truly exceptional customer service!

These are legit quality riding jeans with great protection. Very impressed. You won’t be disappointed buying these jeans. BUT don’t make the same mistake I did. I was between sizes and DID NOT take the sizing recommendation to go with the smaller size. It’s always been wrong in the past but they know their product. Out of the washer they’re fine but after a few hours riding I’m tugging on them.

  • AA Touring
  • ​​​​​​​A City or Urban use 30mph and below.
  • B No armour so not advised

Caring for your motorcycle jeans

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.

Motorcycle Jeans Sizing Advice

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.
