REV'IT Lombard 3 riding jeans review

GEAR REVIEW REV’IT LOMBARD 3
Today, let’s look at riding jeans. The Lombard 3 to be specific. I guess the first thing to get out of the way is, why not just wear regular jeans? The main reason is protection in case of an accident. Motorcycling gear is about balancing risk with reward, and we all have different balance points when it comes to riding. Some never wear anything outside of normal street clothes and others demand all the gear all the time. Most of us fall somewhere in between and don’t mind making a compromise in protection for comfort and blending in with people around us. That is where riding jeans come in. They give more protection than your street jeans and they still blend into the people around you when off the bike. I have always had difficulty finding riding jeans that fit right on and off the bike. I was surprised when I tried on the REV’IT Lombard jeans. They fit just like my normal jeans and stay up when I am seated on the bike. It didn’t feel like motorcycling jeans at all. I was sold and took them home. I presently have ridden over a thousand miles in them and still love them. The biggest downside is the heat. They are hotter than street jeans. One simple reason could be they are 15oz denim Cordura blended material, whereas most department store jeans are 10oz. The thicker material is naturally warmer. Next are the pockets for armor on the hips and knees that add more material and warmth to the jeans. Even without the armor in they still add to the warmth. This is all part of the price for extra protection. The Lombard comes with hip and knee armor. The knee armor is adjustable to help put the armor where it belongs. The hip and the knee armor are thin, and light so as not to add too much discomfort when moving around. Now on to the good stuff. They have a bit of stretch to them so even though they are thick, they move with you and the material is soft. Next, are the deep pockets which I love in any jeans. So, you are less likely to lose stuff when riding. The jeans are extra-long and as such are meant to be “cuffed” since there is a reflective strip sewn to the inside of the jeans. You will see that in the video, as well as the fit. I bought a size 34 and it is just right for comfort. The pant legs are a bit tapered but still fit over my cowboy boots. While in Australia I wore them on and off the bike, while sightseeing, and had them while attending two motorcycle rallies. So, they are comfortable just walking around the vendors and looking at bikes. I have had a lot of compliments on them, as most think they are just jeans. Rayleen Wilson stopped in her tracks when she saw them and commented on how nice they looked. Retail is $229.99 which isn’t bad in today’s economy. These may make someone a nice Christmas present.
