What We Put on: Roadskin Taranis Elite bike denims (women)

Our reviewer Kate Chorley provides suggestions on her Roadskin Taranis Elite bike denims!

I don’t all the time take to each other with bike denims. I’ve typically discovered them just a little too thick, often uncomfortable, and steadily ill-fitting – however this pair from Roadskin are good.

They’re a handsome, true-to-size, figure-flattering choice which look good each on and off the bike – and most significantly, they’re AAA-rated (having been rigorously examined by SATRA Know-how Centre within the UK).

That prime security score’s been achieved by weaving Kevlar fibres with high-quality denim, triple stitching the primary seams, and the addition of some easy-to-insert Stage 2 knee and hip armour. It’s a complete bundle which affords confidence that they’ll do their job if referred to as upon within the worst-case state of affairs.

I’m an enormous fan of the bootcut match, which affords simply sufficient flare to get a pair of mid-calf boots beneath. I really like the slight stetch within the denim, which helps the denims match tightly with out ever being uncomfortable, and I feel it’s nice that there’re three separate leg lengths to select from to assist get the right match. The armour suits simply so, and the excessive waist is a pleasant contact, too, which means there’s no threat of exposing your again when leaning ahead over the bike.

General, I’ve been very impressed with these denims from Roadskin. Whereas it’s simple to get drawn in by the largest names within the recreation when new gear, there’s little question that the UK agency affords loads of bang in your buck and is effectively price a glance. I’ve already received my eye on a number of extra bits from them…
