Hood K7 AAA S Review: Easy-Fit, Safety-Certified Motorcycle Jeans
Introducing the Hood K7 AAA S Jeans
Before diving into the review of the Hood K7 AAA S jeans, it's crucial to debunk some misconceptions perpetuated by Hood Jeans. Their claims about single-layer jeans are simply not true. Hood primarily offers two types of jeans: a basic model rated as B under EN17092 (a very low rating) and a lined jean with a slightly better rating.
Unveiling the K7 Jeans
The Hood K7 AAA S jeans stand out from ordinary bike jeans. Despite their relatively low price point (plus an additional £30 for D3O hip and knee armor), they exude tailored quality. They are lightweight, cool, and exceptionally protective, making them an ideal solution for riders.
Exceptional Protection and Comfort
The K7 jeans are fully certified to CE standards, ensuring measurable levels of protection. Unlike other para-aramid and Kevlar jeans, these offer excellent coverage and utilize Hood's new, highly comfortable K-tech Para-aramid lining. The knee and hip armor provide enhanced safety without sacrificing style.
Exceeding Expectations
The Hood K7 jeans have outperformed even some renowned textile trousers. The Hood SK11 motorcycle jeans have achieved a Triple-A CE certification to EN 17092-22020, indicating the highest possible protection rating.
Industry Recognition and Innovation
Hood was the first to produce motorcycle jeans certified in the UK to the new PPE Regulation 2016425. Their commitment to rider protection is evident in the K-tech lining, which is soft to the touch but highly abrasion-resistant.
Unmatched Protection
In a destruction test conducted by RiDE Magazine, the lined Hood K7AA jean received an impressive score of 1010 for protection, while single-layer jeans scored significantly lower (210-610).
Easy-Fit and Versatile
The K7 jeans are designed to fit comfortably inside traditional high-cut boots or with contemporary ankle motorcycle boots. The slim-fit, narrow-leg cut of the SK11 AAA jean allows for the use of ultra-thin D3O GHOST hip and knee protectors.
