Perhaps our new vehicle choice?
The Resurgence jeans' key strength is its invisibility in protecting a rider. Many riders are embarrassed to wear protective gear such as external knee guards, and mesh riding pants do not help one blend in as well as regular looking jeans such as Resurgence.
One issue riders have to consider in Singapore's 32 celsius (90F) tropical weather is heat. If you have a high body mass index (BMI), you will likely sweat even if you wear T shirts, berms and slippers riding. In the 10 days, I have worn Resurgence for 5 to 10 hours riding to three or four locations every day in hot weather and with rain gear on when it rains, totalling an average daily 40 to 80km mileage for work. It could be partly because I maintain a BMI (body mass index) of 23 as a long term health goal that I found them acceptable, heat wise, although they feel slightly warmer than regular jeans. The Pekev armour under my outer jeans fabric is meant to withstand 23 seconds of road rash, so for that level of protection, it has reasonable weight and insulation. Stephanie, the retail manager did mention Ban Hock Hin has 17 seconds and 5 seconds models as they are more cooling and priced lower too. If your budget permits, I would urge you not to trade protection for price. Go for the 23 seconds model if you are used to wearing jeans in local weather. If you're overweight or perspire much, or ride like a despatch rider with 10+ destinations daily in city traffic with plenty of fast paced walking, then consider the lower level models for increased comfort and price reduction.
The D3O armour used in Resurgence is the same armour used by KLIM, has been around for years and exceeds the CE armour found in regular mesh pants. Debbie and I have placed our trust in them to keep us safe for our upcoming trip, and I’m looking forward to wearing these jeans with armour on while riding, and with or without armour on while visiting tourist attractions. Ban Hock Hin is Resurgence's Singapore retailer, and you’ve really got to try out their jeans at 6 Defu Lane 4, Singapore 539410.
