Roadskin is a small UK based family business which intends to make stylish protective wear designed to be worn all day. I tested the company's Bronte riding leggings to see if they're worth buying
Price: £145.99
Key features:
- Fully lined Kevlar
- CE Level 2 rated knee and hip armour
- Elasticated foot stirrup to stop the leggings riding up in accident
- Four pockets
- Connecting zip compatible with various motorcycle jackets
If you want leggings that are incredibly comfy and stylish, these are well worth a look. The Bronte leggings are high-waisted and thick enough so that they don't roll down. The foot loops also help keep the leggings in place and avoid exposed ankles. However, the team hasn’t compromised on safety when designing the Bronte leggings. They are fully lined with Kevlar and have hip and (adjustable) knee protectors. The leggings are AA-rated (as tested by SATRA) and come with CE level 2 knee and hip protectors. The zip on the back also adds an additional layer of protection by allowing you to attach your leggings to your jacket, thus meaning no back exposure in the case of an accident.
I wore these leggings recently to redo my CBT and felt comfortable in them all day and loved being able to wear something that wasn’t super bulky and uncomfortable. The stretch in the leggings means you could easily spend all day in them and wouldn’t feel like they are digging in when in the riding position. And let’s be honest, we all want to look and feel good regardless of what we are doing.
Should you buy Roadskin Bronte leggings?
Overall I loved these leggings: As a plus-sized lady it was especially great to see such an inclusive brand, - it means a lot not having to order a men's version of something. The leggings are true to size, I am a size 18 usually and the size 18 fit perfectly (this product goes up to a size 20). Also as a vertically challenged woman, it was especially nice to see three leg lengths. Whatever your size, I can thoroughly recommend these leggings.
