I’ve been wearing my Hood Jeans since 2007. Last autumn I put them to the ultimate test when a stolen car pulled out in front of me. His front bumper grazed the front folk leg, mangled the exhaust pipe and clobbered my right shin before flipping me over the bonnet.
I think the main impact was to my right boot but the knee armour in the Jeans was very effective in protecting my knees from the initial impact and subsequent excursion over the bonnet.
New for 2023: Hood Jeans celebrate a quarter of a century in business. The achievement really means so much to Chris and Julie whilst demand for their jeans has never been so high, 2022 proving to be their most successful year to date. Hood has added the new D3O® Level 2 Ghost™ hip and knee armour as an option for both the K7/AAA (S) Jean and SK11/AAA Jean. D3O® Ghost™ L2 is the most breathable, most flexible Level 2 limb protector on the market.

Owners of Hood Jeans, husband and wife team Chris and Julie Easterford, are the proud recipients of the first UKCA marked certificates awarded by SATRA Technology.
The ‘United Kingdom Conformity Assessed’ (UKCA) mark is the new conformity assessment mark for the UK and will need to be placed on products as a means of showing conformance with applicable UK legislation, by a UK Government Approved Body (such as SATRA).
The legislation came into force on 1st, January 2021 and manufacturers and suppliers of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) have a year to transition to this new certification system after which time the CE mark will no longer be recognised by the GB market.
Hood Jeans received their UKCA mark certificates for a range of jeans that offer protection to motorcycle riders. #ukca #satra #ppe
