Built for the Ride And Beyond
At Shark Leathers, we stock a range of motorcycle pants crafted for the way you actually ride. From premium leather that moulds to your shape over time, to technical textiles with waterproof and thermal liners, our gear is built to perform in real-world Australian conditions. Many of our pants come fitted with CE-rated armour at the knees and hips for extra peace of mind, while stretch panels and thoughtful tailoring keep you comfortable on long stints in the saddle. From leather to textile, motocross to adventure and protective jeans for everyday use, here's how to find the right pair for your next ride.
Choose the Right Motorcycle Pants
Leather Motorcycle Pants
When it comes to abrasion resistance, nothing beats leather. Our motorcycle leather pants are crafted from premium-grade cowhide or kangaroo leather, offering unmatched durability if things go sideways. The natural properties of leather let it mould to your body over time for a custom fit, while stretch panels and pre-curved shaping mean they're ready to ride straight off the rack. Many styles also feature perforated zones or zip vents to keep the air flowing on warm days. Ideal for spirited road rides and track days, leather pants give you the confidence to lean harder and brake later, knowing you're covered if the unexpected happens.
Textile Motorcycle Pants
If you want flexibility and all-season adaptability, our textile motorcycle pants are hard to beat. Built from advanced synthetic fabrics like Cordura or ballistic nylon, they're tough against abrasion yet often lighter than leather. Many include waterproof or breathable membranes to handle Australia's sudden downpours, along with removable thermal liners for cooler mornings. Zip-open ventilation panels let you control airflow, making textile pants a favourite for touring and commuting where the weather can change in a heartbeat.
Motocross Pants
Our motocross pants are built for aggressive off-road riding, designed to handle dirt, mud, roost and constant movement. They're typically lightweight and flexible, with reinforced inner knees that stand up to heat and abrasion from grips and guards. Articulated panels give you full freedom to shift, stand and lean, while durable materials keep branches and trail debris from cutting through. Perfect for blasting berms, clearing jumps and wrestling through ruts.
Adventure Pants
Our adventure motorcycle pants strike the balance between street and off-road demands. Often built with multi-layer constructions, they're designed to go the distance over changing terrain. Expect plenty of storage pockets, adjustable vents, durable seat and knee panels and compatibility with hydration systems. They're the go-to for riders tackling long-haul trips where bitumen turns to gravel without warning.
Protective Jeans & Kevlar-Lined Pants
Want the casual look of everyday pants without compromising safety? Our protective motorcycle pants and jeans are lined with abrasion-resistant materials like Kevlar or Aramid fibres in critical zones — hips, thighs and seat — and most come fitted with CE-approved armour at the knees and hips. Available in cuts and styles to suit any taste, from cargos to chinos, skinny to relaxed, they let you stay protected without giving up your usual look.

FAQs
Are motorcycle pants really necessary?
Absolutely. Standard jeans or casual pants can't stand up to the sliding forces of a crash. Motorcycle pants are built from materials designed to resist tearing and are often fitted with armour to protect your joints from impact.
What's the best type of motorcycle pants for hot weather?
Look for textile pants with ventilation panels or mesh zones that allow air to flow through, while still offering solid abrasion protection. They're ideal for staying cool on warm days without compromising safety.
Do motorcycle pants come with armour?
Most quality motorcycle pants include CE-approved armour at the knees, and many also protect the hips. These pads help absorb and disperse impact energy if you come off the bike.
