The New Wave jean is the first protective motorcycle jean made with the new innovative Pekev Ultra single layer denim fabric. Pekev Ultra is made by taken the patented Pekev thread and wrapping it in cotton and then weaving it into a denim fabric. At the core of all of the thread, warp and weft, is Pekev, completely throughout the fabric. Providing the rider with the highest level of protection in a single layer jean. The jean is cut as a slim taper, with plenty of room for rugby thighs, and a stylish tapered fit closure at the ankle. 100% Pekev Ultra denim high abrasion resistance coverage Single Layer jean Traditional 5 pocket design Slim taper cut for men Level 2 abrasion resistance, of 11 secs D3O T5 Evo X knee and hip armour included Height adjustable knee armour pocket Performance Pekev Ultra is a new addition to the revolutionary Pekev fabric range. A single layer Gossypium/Pekev combination. The result of 12 years’ research and development by Resurgence Gear. By utilising the highest quality spinning techniques we have pushed the boundaries of Gossypium, aramids and ethylene fibres, developing the strongest fabric combination in the world. Constructed from the toughest polymer with the highest breaking point of any yarn, Pekev is unsurpassed among modern day protection layers. Compared to other polymers, Pekev has the highest impact strength, is self-lubricating, has high wicking properties, has a low amount of friction and is resistant to abrasion. Pekev is 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Pekev Ultra fabric has been internationally tested excelling in safety, durability and usability. We have combined this latest fabric technology with high street fashion to create a new standard of protection and comfort in motorcycle clothing. Features level 2 abrasion rating Over 200% stronger than similar fabrics 15 times stronger than carbon steel Comfort stretch with integrated Elasteen Longer lifespan compared to other brands Durable against bleach, UV, heat dispersion, moisture, detergents, and ionic enzyme washing Durability Unlike aramid fabric which degrades quickly Pekev is strong against: Ionic enzyme washing. In 90% of cases aramid fibres are treated with ionic enzymes when washing denim, so performance is affected right from the point of manufacturing. Aramids are sensitive to acids. Pekev is unaffected. Bleach. Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) treatment completely destroys the strength of aramid fabrics. Pekev remains unaffected. Ultra violet (sunlight to you and me). In strong sunlight, or a high UV environment, aramid fibres degrade and life cycle is reduced. With Pekev there is no degredation and the fibres are unaffected. Moisture. Aramid strength is affected by moisture and washing. Pekev is again not affected. Detergents. Superior chemical resistance means that the performance of Pekev is unaffected by these. Heat dispersion. Most aramid fabrics retain heat and do not breathe Pekev disperses body heat and is breathable, so keeps you cool comfortable and able to focus even on long runs on sunny days.
