ROBBY ARM 01 Black Moto Jeans Reviewed By RideApart
May 18, 2021
Pando Moto’s website touts Robby’s Armalith construction. In fact, the jean takes half of its name from the abrasion-resistant material. Frequently used in military and space apparel, Armalith is comprised of cotton fiber and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. Yes, it’s a mouthful, but the fabric lives up to that lengthy title, resisting tearing, snagging, and abrasion at a higher rate than leather.
To my surprise, the 13-ounce denim is one of the softest pair of black moto jeans (or any jeans) I’ve ever tried on. The material is supple and nothing like the selvage-style denim I envisioned after reading the product description. I personally enjoy breaking in a new pair of jeans, but the process can include months of uncomfortable riding. Right out of the box, Robby’s super-stretch denim was pliant and soft to the touch, which typically requires months or years of washing with selvage denim.
