Growing numbers of riders want to look casual and feel comfortable while they ride- especially city riders. But that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice safety at the same time. More and more good looking and protective riding jeans are hitting the market, and this year Dainese has three distinct options. The Belleville, Jessville, and Kateville. Read on to find out more about their protective qualities, color options, and fitment.
Belleville Slim Lady Jeans $229.95
The Belleville lady riding jeans come in a slim fit semi-stretch denim. They have internal pro-shape comfort knee protectors, Kevlar jersey reinforced lining, reflective inserts, and they come in both a medium and a dark demin color.
Jessville Skinny Lady Jeans $179.95
These are the classic stretchy skinny jean, and they do have Kevlar reinforced jersey lining… however they lack any other internal armor or protection (besides the reflective accents). Though if you wear removable knee and shin armor, these would be a great fashionable reinforced option for city riding.
The Kateville has a little bit more a relaxed fit, while still being made of form fitting semi stretch denim. The seat and knees are reinforced with Kevlar jersey, with pockets for knee armor. Dainese suggests Pro-Shape knee armor.
If you’re looking for my past post on protective denim and riding jeans, it’s here. Should you want to check out other available ladies riding jeans from Dainese, I always suggest you use RevZilla.
I’m so excited to announce the project that I’ve been working on for two years… a book all about badass motorcycling women! In the MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride you’ll meet 74 of the most influencial motorcyclists of the last century. Motorcycle heroes, trailblazers, and record-breakers like Jessi Combs, Shayna Texter, Laia Sanz, Gloria Tramontin-Struck, the Van Buren sisters, and more can be found inside the 184 pages of this hard cover book celebrating motorcycling women!
