Bull-It Vintage SR6 Jeans 2016

So, I just got home from spending the last few days in the hospital. Although I'm blacked out as to the events that occurred, from what I understand was that while traveling down I-275 in Detroit at around 73 mph at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, a drunk driver heading in the opposite direction quickly drove through the emergency vehicle turnaround and without stopping, proceeded into my lane of traffic directly in front of me. I remember the paramedics like a dream, and my most cognizant memory is waking up in the trauma ward at the hospital. Apparently, I struck the motor vehicle and my body was launched down the highway at said 73 mph. Fortunately, I had recently purchased and was wearing a pair of Bull-It SR6 jeans with gravity knee armor. Everything is intact, though I did get some road rash on the inside of my right knee. Most likely, the jeans got twisted and I lost the effectiveness of the liner. Everywhere else was fine except for the bruising and hyper extensions associated with such a spill. I want to thank Bull-It so much for such an excellent product. It really saved my skin.

If I am riding, there is a 99% chance I have these jeans on. These are the best riding jeans I own by a long shot. I have several pair and wear them with and without armor. I have unfortunately crash tested them and without a doubt they exceeded all my expectations. I would 100% recommend these jeans to any rider regardless of age. I actually wear these jeans off the bike in cold and bad weather. They are stylish and understated. They look just like an ordinary pair of jeans. They fit like custom jeans meaning they are more Euro than American fitting. They are tighter and narrower through the leg than most riding jeans. I don’t want big, baggy and lose jeans on my bike. Covec outperforms other material in abrasion resistance. It has lower thermal transfer and it doesn’t break under folding. It can also be washed without as much damage to the materials and it’s flame retardant. The name SR6 refers to the 600gsm Covec lining that covers 60% of the jeans. Bull-It says that its jeans are the first in the world to perform to CE Level 2 safety. They absolutely worked for me when I went down on my bike. The jeans are also water repellent, which makes them more versatile and usable even when rain starts coming down. Needless to say I am a big fan of these jeans and I am excited and encouraged to see that Revzilla now stocks them. They have been very hard to find in my size!!!

Had these a week and worn them twice but felt the need to write a review based on comparison with Rev It Seattle jeans that i tried and sent back. The Bull Its are heavy, solid jeans. RIDE magazne (UK) gave them a decent review and I think they beat all but one of the competition. Probably the best for abrasion resistance if believe the 6 secs/less heat transfer. I used Forefield armor in the knee and its hard to tell its there. Very comfortable though rides a little high sitting on a VStrom DL1000.Jeans fit well (34 waist, 36 length - leg is perfect length). For me they fit true to size. Style wise - much better than the Rev It Seattle which tapered at the leg - not the Bull Its - a good straight leg. Have a padded thick feel to them (lining) but its not bulky looking. Feel much more sturdy than the Rev It Seattle (too thin/flimsy feel). Only issue with them being so heavy is they tend to sag even with belt but this is not a complaint more of an observation. Very glad to have found a decent pair of moto jeans and looking forward to a summer of wear. I usually wear textile for commuting (Rev It) or leather but was looking for an alternative this year. These will probably be hot in the summer but protection seems very good. Recommended!

Fit is slightly tight in legs, not uncomfortable, just tight compared to my normal jeans. I am an runner and have large thighs. Waist was perfect, I can normally wear a 32 or 33 in Levis, the 32 waist fit with room to spare. I purchases the federal reds and they look very stylish. The safety and abrasion resistance was my primary reason for purchasing the pants. I also purchased the ICON level 2 armor for hips and knees, they fit perfect. The overall air flow is less than jeans but not bad at all. I am riding 100 miles one way to work and it is hot as and humid, I am still comforatable as long as moving at speed. The pants have exceeded my expectations. As always the staff at RevZilla were very helpful with there suggestion. Thanks again.

I was looking to try a new pair of riding jeans and wanted a pair with mesh lining for better airflow and a pair without the outside stitching look. My current riding jeans are Kevlar lined with no mesh and can get hot in the summer, but I always wear them. Without any reviews I took a chance on these but had to return them do to sizing. I ordered my normal jean size. Really liked the vintage blue color. As far as fit, they were fine in the waist and lower leg area but too tight in the seat and thigh area. For me this causes jeans to be pulled down in riding position. Possibly they would break-in and become better fitting but they just felt like they would could continue to ride low. I didn't want to spend so much but I ended up returning the Bull-its and trying the Klim K Fifty 1 jeans. I ordered my normal size with those as well and they fit much better for me. They have that broken in jean feel and come with armor, however they do run baggier in the leg area compared to the Bull-its. My guess is if you are used to straight legged jeans then this fit will work for you. If you don't like tight in the seat and thighs you may need the relaxed fit or another brand.

I have a 36" inseam and ordered/returned about five different jeans before trying the SR6. The fit is good, the look is fine, they're a little thicker than I'd prefer for Southern California riding but the 34X36 is the only sub-$300 pair of jeans you can order on Revzilla that will fit true to size. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

Just got these today. I ordered true to my size and even with the hip armor in they still fit perfect, felt great both on and off the bike. Good amount of airflow both on and off the bike, armor pockets put the armor just where it needs to go, great set of pants. Only problem is these aren't listed under the big and tall section on revzilla, they really should be considering the huge variety of sizes.

Overall the pants provided what I was looking for. The fit seemed true to sizing. The covec material was a little thicker than I had anticipated. The pants are warm but not hot to the point of discomfort. It is nice that the pants have sewn in pockets for armor however the knee pockets are a little bit too high for me but I am very tall. The pants look very nice and are not noticeably different than jeans you would wear any other time.

These jeans fit awesome and are very comfortable. I purchased the knee and hip pad inserts and they fit well and stay in position. Even with the pads in these jeans still fit great and are comfortable to walk around in. I wear them for my daily commute to work and sometimes wear them all day at work and they feel and look like I'm wearing regular jeans. I ordered a 32x30 since that is my size in Levis and they fit perfectly. I bought the darker blue version (vintage blue I believe it was called) and they look good and don't have any big huge logos on them. I would recommend and will buy again in the future. They feel sturdy like they will hold up well in a crash.

definitely loose fit and appears they are washable, can get wet without harming protective material. only drawback is limited airflow
