Frequently Asked Questions

Are the knee armor pads removable?

Yes — the SasTec® flex-armor at the knees is permanently sewn in, but detachable hip armor pockets allow you to add optional hip protection if needed.

Will these fit like regular jeans?

Yes. Stronghold Jeans are cut as everyday riding jeans with a standard fit. Check the sizing chart to confirm your waist size matches.

What does EN 1621-1 certification mean?

It means the knee armor meets European impact protection standards for motorcycle gear — tested for shock absorption and protection in a crash.

Can I wash these in a regular washing machine?

Yes, but always remove any optional detachable armor before washing. Cold water and gentle cycle are recommended to preserve the Dyneema® fiber.

Mens riding jeans!

Great riding jeans - bought these for my husband - he has been riding for 30 years but never had proper riding jeans. I did not think he would wear them after refusing for so long - but I finally got him to try them and he is now wearing them all the time. Great quality - true to size - highly recommend.

Great fit for vertically limited

Great jeans with excellent fit. I'm a short legged guy and these fit me perfectly. The fabric is nice and elastic making these very comfortable to wear. Also these does not run any hotter than the regular jeans.

Good protection, bad quality

I was really excited to get these riding jeans...but once I did I was immediately let down right out of the box. Really poor quality with dozens of threads and seams just hanging off and coming apart. Just trying them on threads were coming out. The fitment is probably a size or two bigger in the waist, I wear 32 across the board, these fit like a 36. I honestly wouldn't buy them unless they were $50-$75. Also this is a minor thing but the smell, my goodness they smell like old goodwill clothes, never smelt such bad "new" clothes before, lol. Overall, very disappointing purchase, but I will see how long they last.

Good enough for me

I've had a hard time finding pants in my size. I tried a scorpion exo covert pair in 32 short and they fit like parachute pants. For reference I'm 5'-6" 145 lbs male and wear a 32x30 in Levi's 511. These were pretty much the only other jeans in stock close to my size. I ordered a size 30 and according to the size chart the inseam is 29".<br /><br />The good: they fit and look like normal mid-rise jeans while feeling protected. <br />Size small Alpinestar bioflex hip armor fits perfect into the hip pockets of these pants and are not noticeable (installed in pictures)<br />They don't feel much warmer than normal pants... Just a little heavier, will need a good belt.<br /><br />The bad: quality control. My pair is missing the leather loop. Random strands sticking out here and there <br />The knee armor included is super bulky and uncomfortable. The whole pant leg starts to twist inward when the knee protector is in which moves the knee protector off your knee cap and on to the inside of your leg making it pointless. Hopefully this will change with some new knee armor. <br />These pants make my crotch look insane. <br /><br />Even with it's shortcomings I'm giving these pants 4 stars for mostly looking like normal pants. <br /><br />Will update when new knee protectors come in.
