New Model 881 Protective: Lighter, Stronger, Better and Rated number 1 on MotoCAP!
Introducing our new "881 Protective" - Raw Blue Protective Denim Motorcycle Jeans with additional full lined 100% genuine terry loop knitted Dupont™ KEVLAR® fiber. The combination of aramid blended single layer denim plus fully lined from waist to ankle, front & back with 340gsm protective liner which passed Satra UK level 2 en13595;2002 abrasion test lasting >7 seconds and now rated 5 stars on the Motocap website. These premium protective jeans are now the same thickness and weight as the level 1, providing you comfort all season with its airmax mesh lining. They keep you warm in the colder season & nights and cool during summer.
CE level 2 armour is included at knees and hips. The knee armour pocket allows two heights and the hip armour pocket is fixed position so it doesn't float around. Its recommended to wear the hip armour but we understand for some it changes the fit, if you are a larger build in the hip/bottom area and want hip armour its recommended to go up one size, if you plan to not fit hip armour you can choose your normal size. For average and slim builds the pants should still fit good with hip armour in.
The previous version was standard denim & 500gsm protective liner, the problem was it was on the thicker and heavier side, which was great for customers in colder climates, but not so good when off the bike walking around. To achieve the same great protection we've made the outer material stronger and lined it with a robust well balanced weight protective liner.
The pants have been made to our strict standard for performance, comfort & looks. Only the highest quality materials & stitchers are used.
New order is currently being made, eta announced shortly. Current estimate arrival is June 2025. Preorder today to secure your pair.

Finnmoto independently tests the protective lining & denim used in its jeans. The impact abrasion test meets level 2 protection throughout the protective denim and 340gsm lined jeans for 13595-1: 2002 5.4 abrasion protection from Satra Technologies UK. (>7 seconds of abrasion = level 2) and has recently achieved 9.31 seconds from Motocap Australia, achieving the highest star rating 5/5. ref: https://motocap.com.au/product/881-protective
Latest test rating promoting "AAA" only requires material that lasts 2.5 seconds on the Cambridge machine. Australian roads are rougher and mostly chip seal its recommended you wear jeans closer to 4 seconds.
Motocap explanation: The Darmstadt impact abrasion test machine is designed to simulate garments sliding across an asphalt surface, whereas the Cambridge machine simulates rougher surfaces. The Darmstadt machine replicates the European road network that is predominantly smooth asphalt. Whilst most urban areas in larger cities and towns in Australia and New Zealand do have asphalt surfaces, almost all rural roads are chip seal. Chip seal roads are four and a half times more abrasive than asphalt. Recent on-road trials in Australia and New Zealand have confirmed that testing on the Cambridge machine accurately simulates sliding on chip seal road surfaces. These trials have validated the Cambridge impact abrasion test as the more appropriate method for Australian and New Zealand motorcycle clothing, and addresses the most challenging road surface clothing might encounter, as well as less abrasive city streets; hence why it is used by MotoCAP. ref https://www.motocap.com.au/frequently-asked-questions

Excellent fit and very comfortable even at over 30 degrees. Nice to know they offer greater protection than most leathers.

I’ve tried a few protective jeans over the years but the quality of these is second to none. The fit and feeling of security they provide is excellent. A true quality product great job Finn Moto.

New generation 340 gsm Jeans

Raw Blue 500 GSM
I made the decision to go with Finn after a fair bit of research and liked the armour being included and full Kevlar from top to bottom, I added hip armour that you would struggle to even tell you were wearing it and liked the security of the 500 grams. The jeans look and feel great my wife couldn’t tell they were even riding jeans. I ordered my standard jeans size and then received an email directly from Matt informing me he was having trouble finding the size in stock, he gave me a number of options while still trying to locate the original ordered pants, we discussed measurements via email as I’m a size 33 and next thing the perfect size pants arrived. Its great getting this kind of service that is now very rare. Especially compared to other online manufactures that simply come up as out of stock and that’s the end of the process. I'm not a big fan of ordering clothes on-line but in Finns case it was seamless transaction with a perfect result. The other positive reviews here also made me confident in buying online and anyone reading this I can absolutely say the service and quality of the gear is as good, actually better than I could find online or in stores. Thanks Matts keep up the great work delivery Aussie quality and service to the world. Regards Simon G

Great jeans, very comfortable and warm. I feel there is more than enough protection if things go wrong. You won't be disappointed this is a quality product.
