For urban use, the French brand Bolid'Ster, with its Hip'Ster Light, offers lighter jeans which do not lose their protection (resistance of 14 m compared to 20 for a standard Bolid'Ster).
Bolid'Ster is a scarecrow in the motorcycle jeans segment. Focusing on quality, the brand is oriented towards high-end, very high-end even to the point that each unit is numbered and guaranteed for 10 years against manufacturing defects... A ten-year guarantee for jeans, unheard of!
Just as unique, the finishing and assembly with design and production entirely in France. In short, quality that will become your favorite jeans over the miles you spend with them.
This Light version is no exception to the brand's prerogatives with, this time, a variation of Armalith (cotton reinforced with UHMWPE fibers) relying on threads twice as fine but also twice as numerous which, in the end, it will save around 25% of the weight on the scale. In terms of abrasion resistance, you will have understood that it is city oriented with an indisputable urban vocation (resistance of 14 m compared to 20 m for a standard version made in Bolid'Ster).
« The fabric passes the Darmstadt standard with grade A, i.e. 45KM/h. As for the Cambridge standard, the requirement for urban level is 1 second, but the abrasion resistance of Armalith Light is 2 seconds ».
