Just purchased my second Armalith shirt to wear when its hot instead of leather. Performs well, just the collar flaps when you get up some speed so tuck it in to stop the flapping.
Had an (opportunity unfortunately) to test both the Braxton jeans and Armalith shirt this week having a slide of about 5 metres, most impact on my right side elbow and right hip. I picked up the bike, few more scratches than me , I felt ok and rode 30 mins home.
Outcome;
My hip is bruised with a criss cross pattern embedded from the armour . The kevlar pants has a few scratch marks, no holes. My right elbow armour then the back armour absorbed the impact, I have a few very minor abrasions on the elbow. The shirt, right elbow above the armour and down the arm and the back is rough and marked but no holes or rips.
Both in the wash and ready to ride again.
I dread to think of the outcome when I used to ride with a t shirt and shorts in summer!
This gear kicks ass!
I had no intention of writing a review of the Calix jeans I've had for over a year, as I agree with most of the existing reviews: they were delivered promptly after ordering online; they fit just the same as regular jeans; and they are comfortable (comfort was checked out on a four week car trip - with the hip armour fitted! - even before I first wore them on the Speed Triple). Strangely (or not) no reviewer commented on the protection the jeans provide if they happen to be sliding down the road. Come on guys, how about taking one for the team?
Well it appears that has 'fallen' to me. The attached photo is the result of tipping into a right hand corner covered in the loose stuff that the road repairers didn't bother to sweep up. Speed as I hit the deck right knee first was in the order of 30-50kmh and I slid for 15 metres or so (it wasn't measured - I'm just guessing from the photo a mate took of the scene). While a wear mark can be seen the jeans were not worn through - so no gravel to pick out of my knee - and if I'd had knee armour I might have saved my knee from the bruising and the small wound (there might be a bit of dry blood soaked through as part of the stain on the jeans).
So, there you are - a crash test of the Calix jeans. All I have to do now is ask Camino how many times I can slide on the same on the same before they finally wear through... I'll leave that research for someone else, if I may (two weeks after the get off and the knee is still a bit swollen).
Fits great, comfortable to ride in, and perfect for the hot Australian summer. It feels good, made of lightweight yet heavy-duty material. The quality finish is excellent. Highly recommend! 👌
Just got mine last week. Super happy, better than dual layer jeans that don't protect all your legs. More comfortable, and no adjusting my "boys", when riding because more flexible all round. So happy I just purchased another pair. Are my casual all day jeans now, goodbye Levi's.
I measured myself and ordered the jeans as per ths size guide. They turned out to be too large. I'm exchanging them for the next size down.
Love the fit. Very happy so far. Way better and far more breathable than my old dual layer jeans.
Very Happy
Bought these 6 months ago when they first came out. I wanted good quality with comfort, i tried soo many brands and none were to my satisfaction. but this new technology is great. Quality is A+ and soo comfortable that i can live in them all day after commuting multiple days a week. As with all motorcycle jeans, a bit hot in a Queensland summer is the only downside but way better than all the rest.
Right from the start everything details was simple from deciding on which product by the information regarding the item, to the ordering to the delivery. All went very smoothly and when I received the jeans, they fitted perfectly & were exactly how they were described. Excellent product & service, thank you.
