Joe Rocket 2021 Accelerator Jeans

We measured a sampling of these jeans of different waist sizes and lengths and find they are much like other jeans you’d buy these days. They are just a bit “vanity” sized in the waist and pretty true in the length. Across the size run, the actual measured waist was about 1-2” larger than the stated waist size (typical vanity sizing). So my primary advice would be to buy the waist size you normally wear in jeans; you’ll likely find a fit. The inseam lengths measured out about right as compared to the stated size.

If you aren’t sure whether your jeans are vanity sized like I’m describing, then either measure your waist where your normal jeans ride or measure your favorite pair of jeans to verify. You’ll probably find that you measure out a bit bigger than your normal jeans size and also the waist of your favorite jeans measures out an inch or two bigger than their stated size. If so, you will be on track following my advice.

Joe Rocket has re-released their Accelerator jeans for 2021.

Overall this new style is just about identical to the original style from 2014. They have Aramid fibers in the seat and knees for abrasion resistance and pockets at the knee for optional armor if you wanted to upgrade them. The armor pockets on these pants open to the bottom with a hook and loop closure, and the pockets are VERY short. If you are looking for Joe Rocket Armor to install we suggest the Women’s Knee/Elbow.

The 7 pocket design is different from most jeans on the market. There are the traditional 5 (two back, two front hand pockets, and one key/change pocket) but on the rise at the front there are two zippered pockets as well for additional storage.

These pants are a winner because of the easy/normal fit, the nice features like the optional armor pocket and zip-close storage pockets and then the overall price for the entire package makes these a good value! :: Mike, 09/22/2022
