Crash Tested: A Fateful First Ride With New Gear

July 18, 2024

In the world of motorcycling, gear isn’t just a fashion statement – it’s a lifesaver. Hero of our story, Jae, is a passionate motorcyclist who learned firsthand the importance of proper riding apparel. One fateful morning, Jae received a Pando Moto package containing his brand-new MARK KEV 01 and ROBBY ARM 01 jeans. Excited by his new purchases, he decided not to keep them in abeyance but to wear them immediately.

“I literally just opened my packages today and chose MARK KEV 01 jeans for a ride” – Jae shared. Little did he know that his new gear would soon be put to the test.

It was a cold morning – the kind that has way less tire grip to the road. Jae, eager to try out his new gear, geared up and took off on his motorcycle. The streets were quite empty, and Jae felt a sense of freedom as he cruised along. However, as he approached a sharp turn, he suddenly lost control.

“I hit the slippery white paint on the pavement around a turn and low-sided my bike” – Jae shared his still fresh memory. The crash was sudden, leaving Jae stunned but, thankfully, not seriously injured.

Jae thinks that he has been fortunate. The new Pando jeans that he had just bought saved him from what could have become a very nasty accident, leaving him only slightly bruised in different places. “Pando jeans definitely saved my skin” – says Jae with a relief. MARK KEV 01 jeans, CE officially approved with AA protection level, took the brunt.

However, during the accident Jae’s motorcycle was damaged, but he wasn’t one to stay down for long. Once again on two wheels, he is planning even more outfitting himself. “I’ll be buying more gear once I fix up my bike” – he mentioned, recognizing the crucial role his protective apparel had played in keeping him safe.

Jae’s case is a vivid reminder that motorcycle gear isn’t only about looking neat but also about staying alive. One never knows when this second layer may save your skin. If you had your life saved by PANDO, don‘t hesitate to share your story with us and motivate others to ride confidently on the road with the knowledge that there is no fear of injuries.
