He's wearing a lab coat so it must be true
Heck yeah, I always wear one in court.
And it’s on the Internet! No one can doubt it
And gloves... maybe a mad scientist.
Everyone knows it's illegal to say something that's not true on the internet!
But he is not wearing a safety tie
3:40 I regularly have this issue in the groin area, thank you so much for this stress test.
Underrated lmao
Big pepe
I see the mistake you are making. A car jack is for fixing a deflated tire not a deflated penis. I hope this helps in future endeavors.
Magnum dong
@@jonguyton1 I fixed the problem by always wearing leather jeans at parties. 😊
I hate it when I fall and someone accidentally hits me with a golf club
We got you NOW!!
...............................FORE!!!
Time to rethink your life as a drunk hooligan. :D
we have to make sure your pants are good.
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA made my day
Golfers are dangerous gotta keep a lookout for them
lol, I'm a 62 year old rider. We always used to say that a pair of jeans was good for about a metre/yard of tarmac.
I road tested motorcycle jeans a couple of years back at 109mph+, and yes , they work. Pretty busted up but no road rash
which jeans? Single layer or lined
"Meanwhile, the 25$ wrangler relaxed fit has jack sh*t. It's just a jean."
What a good riding pant that has good impact resistance in areas like knees most importantly, maybe thighs and butt but as well has great slide resistance
I am impressed with Ryan's knowledge of physics.
He’s got a physics degree, maybe he learnt a bit of math there
Finally!!! Was lookin forward to this since announced
Honestly what this showed me was get pants with full protection rather than bits because bits isnt enough to justify the price points
And for amor icon makes some external pieces just in case
5:53 Hoooot Pockeeets....
Try Lean Pockets, too! 😁
Or if you're Jim Gaffigan "Caliente Pockets!"
I don’t even want to own a motorcycle, but your content is so interesting I can’t help but watch.
This guy's knowledge makes me hungry for more
Thanks for your continuing testing of motorcycle gear. I'd want to point out that the seam testing is merely showing how far the jean material will stretch. A gauge to measure pull weight on the seams would be more accurate. Also, there is no use in testing heat resistance of jeans that fail the abrasion tests long before heat can build up and ignite them. Keep up the good work.
After 51 years in the saddle, I recall an incident that occurred when I was a teenager. A buddy and I had just gotten off a muddy trail and onto the street. It was pouring rain. Mud filled tires and a lapse in concentration, I find myself flying up on the rear of a blue chevy nova, I lock up the rear brake and I'm instantly on the ground. I can still see the gas tank under the nova approaching me. I slid about twenty feet on a drenched asphalt street. I was wearing jeans and a denim jacket. I didn't get any skin abrasions, but everything I had in my pockets wore through the denim. Perfectly shaped wear holes of my wallet, coins in my pocket, and a zippo lighter. You're results seem legit to me.
I was just thinking what happened to this series! Glad it's back one of my favorite things you guys do
You would if you crashed cartoon style into a ACME Lighted Blow Torch truck. You will be thankful Ryan tested the jeans!
Could you do a textile vs. leather riding pants comparison? Something like the ICON Hypersport vs. Overlord or whatever else???
Holy hell man, you are one hell of a presenter
I've been in a number of accidents, some of them even high speed, and my regular jeans have never given me trouble. In fact, I'm still wearing the same regular jeans I was wearing when a drunk driver ran me off the highway on the highway in Texas on Black Friday. I miss that bike... Every accident I get in makes me more paranoid, and thankfully my body seems nigh unbreakable. But that last one I shattered my collar bone and broke 2 ribs. Had my collar bone put back together by a surgeon at Herman Memorial in Houston. They did a great job and as far as I can tell, I've made a full recovery.
Nice vid. At 5:16 9.8 is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of earth and the Gravitational constant is 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2 .
5:19 He circled on top of the circle. Bro, why are you still on Earth?
The lining is also important. A smooth inner fabric won't grind into your legs like a coarser denim will.
Man, seeing you belt sand those genes made me squirm way more than I thought. Just imaging that being my leg as giant tufts of fabric fly off...
I'm sorry every other channel, but this is my favorite one
I've been subscribed since you had few thousands but You know what Ryan i didn't like you first but know i do congrats next how about riding jeans vs leather riding pants.
"Jack Shit" is rarely used in describing scientific comparisons, so I am already loving this video.
I know, I know ... obviously late on the scene. I'd love to see a year over year over year discussion. (e.g. 2017 vs 2018 vs ... as long as the adjacent continent allowed us to be valiant. And by that, I mean, very, very, very, very, very rarely.
that was the cutest 'hello' you have ever done
You look like Joffrey in GoT
I think that's why I hate him.
Looks more like Quentin tarrenteno
@@zenitramnaes hey Jack Gleeson's a super nice person IRL. (Hah...irl...cos...he's Irish...)
That's *King* Joffrey to you.
OMG it's 3:30AM, pitch black in my room, the house's empty and I hear that howling sound at 2:14 WTF MAN!!!!!!!!!! scared the life out of me!
You should do a comparison with Duluth Trading Comoany's Fire Hose pants. They claim the be as good or better than motorcycle pants, but they're made as work jeans.
Original Levi jeans came about on the gold feild s ,rivet for tuffer pocket s ,the little front pocket was for nuggets
The conclusion is - pants that are 10 times more expensive are better BUT NOT 10 TIMES BETTER!
you should ask for donations to buy an abrasion/tear strength testing machine and to get a dummy to drag these guys on the street. I know I would donate. your testing is way to unscientific to mean much, but if your willing to keep testing gear to find out what the manufacturers know and won't tell us I would be happy to donate money to the cause.
“Is that a jack in your pants or are you just glad to see me?”
2:18 just wear two pairs of normal jeans
Fantastic video. My only comment is why icon jeans when draggin jeans are the most common and market leaders, or in my humble opinion the best bike jeans (as good as jeans get) "Hood jeans". A small UK family firm that really consider safety in their jeans. i.e. the use very heavy weight denim, Woven aramid on the entire inside of the leg, and they do think about the seam thread and reinforce the seams, as well as having internal pockets for both hip and knee armour. just seams to be truly scientific more than one brand of jean would have been appropriate.
5th pocket is for your motorcycle key. Always has been always will
“Let’s test out these regular jeans against the motorcycle jeans” *pulls out a shotgun*
I figured the Icon jeans would be better, but not that much. Pretty cool.
That lower part of the biker Jean is where the biker boot would be so it doesn’t need the Kevlar there.
I don't even ride a motorcycle, but i love your videos hehe
Lol. I always find these strangely satisfying.
"Let's take this good moment to contemplate the nature of failure" LOL
I did that last night, after the congressional hearing for Muller.
And Ryan proves once again, that his physics degree is useful.
Something I want to say is that riding jeans do have a self life. In heavy use, maybe 4 years. It happens because there are chemicals that bond the material together that deteriorates from heat, moisture, and being stretched. I recommend never machine washing and only hand wash when the pants are soiled beyond wear.
I've watched dozens of F9 videos and this is the first one that feels clearly sponsored.
Okay, so denim jeans cost way less, aren't near as goofy, and they protect from basically everything other than a random person hitting you with a golf club when you go down. Think I'll take the regular denim jeans.
Great video, you should make your score a percentage to more evenly weigh all the categories.
The BB/Pellet didn't penetrate the blue jeans. It bounced off. You can see it in the slow mo portion...
Great video, it's useful for us to choose the best pants to ride.I am very eager to watch your next video.
Aight scorching my jeans are on my fashion to do list ty
Try wearing those in Southeast Asia where it's 100 degrees outside with 60% humidity. I have the scars from riding in shorts.
please test modular vs fixed full face helmets and would also love to see back protector video too.
The jack is testing stretchiness more than anything. You’d have to be measuring the force used to turn the jack handle
nice video , you should do this with jeans jackets vs leather jackets aswel , thanks
2:03 okay so im literally wearing like cargo slacks for work on my commute, uh im heading over to a store to try on some riding jeans ASAP.
It would have been more accurate had you used regular jeans, not stone washed jeans. Stone washed jeans are put in a large drum along with large stones and washed to the point that the denim is softened which make it the weakest denim available.
Thank you Dr. Ryan...
I usually don't tell people this but as a time traveler I knew Newton. Oh and he says to say hi.
Another product that sits in my closet the worlds most uncomfortable ugly armored jeans...recommended by the bionic man himself
Ninja turtle squad
The $25 Wrangler Jean's have jack shit 🤣🤣👌
@fortnine check an Australian brand based out of Melbourne called Saint Unbreakable. Their riding gear is the best!
The only reason the icon jeans protected against the 100g sticker is because you didn't hit the sticker directly like the cheap jeans
Great video thank you!
Ah man...my riding pants are toast if I wreck.
Ryan Nye, the Moto Science Guy!!!
nice video, I was just checking icon denim this afternoon and was wondering if the price was justifiable . Soooo i guess that answers that!
Well i think it can vary wildly depending on the riding Jean... What about dragging jeans?
Me an intellectual: wears both jeans at the same time while riding.
***REMINDER*** trees and lampposts don’t give !
4:55
What happens in math class.. every time...
I wonder how much better my Hoods K7 jeans are. Full aramid coverage(so no low abrasion spots), which I've seen take more than 10 seconds on a belt sander test(I forget if it was 11, 12 or 13), and CE2 D3O armor pads(knee and hip).
Great video
Wear a shirt and tie to compliment that lab coat!
Try Draggin Jeans from Australia they are a lot better than Icon
Pocket watch? ??I always thought that was a change pocket!!!!
What else is good instead of the Kevlar jeans and price no matter.
Well made video...
So are those cheap stretchable Walmart wranglers or the real deals with the patch? I would've done at least something more durable that has the thicker material like the O.G Levi 501's, 505's, and the Carharrt jeans. Anyway I'm still not going to wear $150 jeans to work. Especially working construction..haha
Nice.. I got a pair of MC jeans..
Why did riding pants get points for seam rip test? Neither one of them ripped. Awarding points for a result that wasn't what the original test was for is a bit unscientific (not that any of the Fortnine tests are extremely well designed, but still.)
Is there any video comparing motorcycle leather pants vs motorcycle jeans ?
A good way to get the best of both is wearing wrangler jeans and then the Icons a size larger over them, that'll by you 8-10 seconds of sliding with the kevlar aramid(?) and about 5-7 without
Something tells me Ryan has a little bit of engineering background
wow learned a lot thanks
Ofc the normal jeans splits faster. Its 4 times as tight as the safety jeans
Regular denim jeans are still better then gym shorts
No doubt. ~RF9
dumb comparisons but you already got my view so you win....
See, the thing about abrasion is that nobody sits there and slides for multiple seconds on one patch, they roll and therefore constantly put a new patch of material to the pavement. 40 grit sandpaper is also more abrasive than most road surfaces. I've been skateboarding for a long time and have fallen probably close to 30 mph in regular jeans and never had more than a minor scrape to my skin and that didn't bother me in the least. I actually find the lower speed falls to hurt more because you immediately slam down instead of skidding/sliding.
There's also no proof that the stitching won't pop on the reinforced layer and just move out of the way and do nothing. The most important thing about riding is to git gud and stop falling like a dumbass, anyway.
So, expensive riding jeans with a layer of aramid under some parts of a layer of denim last twice as long as $25 Wranglers with only a single layer of denim. In other words, a pair of Wranglers with an extra layer of denim under the same parts would last as long as the aramid jeans. Ignoring that the denim on the riding jeans is rubbish, the extra protection is more from having an extra layer, than it is from the aramid being significantly more abrasion resistant than denim.
I always wear regular pants when I ride.
Usually jeans, right under my moto jeans.
Wow, I was rather surprised the Icon jeans performed so poorly against the sander. Something is off, why not just wear 2 pairs of jeans and save yourself the $150. I kid, I kid....
I was worried about the abrasions resistance. I was expecting more from iicon
But 8 pairs of wranglers is 1 pair of icon. Plus I can wear wranglers every day.
wrong equations you would be better to use rotational mechanics for the club head speed as it travels in more of an arc ;)
Now compare full leather Trousers !!!
@RyanF9, a little off topic I understand you've reviewed it before but do you think the bell rogue helmet is as safe / protective as a 3/4 helmet considering the lower half? I really like the look but i also respect your opinion and remember you saying that you"d never get a half helmet.
