Hi!
On the left we have outdoors gear.
Often lightweight, designed to be layered, and help you regulate your temperature while enjoying the great outdoors. It’s not really designed to protect you when falling down at speed on hard surfaces though.
On the right we have motorcycle gear.
Often very protective and durable, but not really designed to perform in any situation other than riding the bike.
But.
That space in the middle.
Where outdoors and motorcycling gear overlap.
That's the bit that gets Adventure Spec excited.
It’s one of the reasons we ride, we use our bikes to explore wild spaces and make memories in the great outdoors.
Today we are adding a new item to our Linesman range that is designed to excel in that crossover space in the middle.
The Linesman Pant Sand.
The design brief for The Linesman Pant came from the rise in popularity of adventure motorcycle projects like the Trans Euro Trail.
Where riders are embarking on long, multi-day journeys to warmer climates, the sights of the mountains are mixed with the sounds and smells of small villages, restaurants and cafes.
You ride long days through breathtaking landscapes, enjoy frequent coffee stops with locals in town squares, and spend the evenings setting up camp and sleeping in tents.
You need gear that is going to work hard on the bike, regulate your temperature and keep you safe.
But it's also got to perform off the bike and be comfortable enough to be worn all night at camp.
And you want to blend in a little more than stand out in a village square full of locals enjoying their afternoon coffee.
In other words, technical adventure motorcycle gear that doesn't look that technical.
CE AA performance.
Easy stretch to get your leg over.
The Linesman Pant is made from our own blend of Bi-Stretch Panama Fabric.
It is super stretchy and therefore very comfortable, but it also benefits from high abrasion resistance performance. Matched with Forecfield Level 2 knee and hip armour, The Linesman Pant achieves a CE AA safety rating.
They simply don't feel like a pair of motorcycle pants when you ride in them.
They feel more like a pair of hiking pants.
And to prove the point a few of us recently rode to, and then hiked a mountain in our Linesman Pants. You can read about it here.
Or put the kettle on and watch the Ride and Hike film here.
In the beginning there was blue.
And then there was black.
And today we are adding sand.
I think they look great with the Linesman Jacket.
We have a limited first run of 140 pairs in our UK, EU and USA* stores.
