Touring Pants

On a long ride your legs deal with engine heat, wind, rain and road grit for hours. Touring pants combine armour with the airflow and weather protection you need to stay comfortable all day.

This page collects the motorcycle touring pants we stock. For city riding and jeans, see the wider range of riding pants.

What to look for in touring pants

• Knee and hip armour that stays in place. The product page lists the level.
• Ventilation for hot roads, or waterproofing and liners for wet and cold routes.
• Adjustable waist and leg openings that fit over boots.
• Pockets and a cut that is comfortable when seated for hours.

Adventure touring pants suit mixed road and trail riding. Sport touring pants lean towards a closer fit. Read choosing a right riding pant for help with size and armour, CE armour standards explained for Level 1 versus Level 2, and the gear sizing guide for measuring.
