Joe Rocket Denim Rocket Jeans

Choose the size that you would normally buy in jeans. Here is a chart by Joe Rocket which gives the inseam lengths for the short and regular versions:

The Joe Rocket Denim Rocket Jeans are a combination of traditional jean styling with some built in abrasion and impact protection for motorcyclists. The fit of the jeans is pretty standard and I think most people would feel completely comfortable wearing these jeans on or off the bike. The jeans come with a layer of abrasion resistant material built into the seat and knees. Thankfully these areas are also lined with a soft cotton material so the tougher material is not scratchy against the skin. The problem I see with these jeans is the placement of the knee armor. I’m a pretty “standard” guy and when I stand in the jeans, the knee armor falls about 3” below where it should, so that it more or less is covering the shin. When in a sitting position, it naturally is drawn up on the leg and gets closer to the right position, but it’s still off. Joe Rocket has built a dual position type pocket so you can adjust the height of the armor, but the problem is that the armor, which I tried on the jeans, was already in the upper-most position. Please see the picture I included in the photo gallery which shows the position of the armor when standing and you will see what I mean. I’d recommend these jeans for those who would want to wear them without the armor in the pocket, but if you want the armor you’d better choose a different style of pant.

Note on Pictures: We took close-up photos of the jeans in a Dark Denim color which is no longer available, but the photos clearly show the jean’s features so we left them in our photo gallery for you to view.
