What is DuPont™ Kevlar®?

DuPont™ Kevlar® is a lightweight, synthetic, heat-resistant fiber that provides high tensile strength and has significantly greater abrasion resistance as well as resistance to sharp objects. This feature makes it far superior in protective clothing for motorcycle riders, which no other type of material offers.

BLACK LABEL BIKER® is the only authorized brand in Mexico made with DuPont™ Kevlar®.Original, and exceeds up to 3 times the parameters of the current European standard for motorcycle clothing. Kevlar® is a polyamide compound invented and patented by Dupont®, extremely resistant to abrasion and cutting.

Most motorcycle jeans are made from "aramid" fabrics similar to Kevlar®, but they are usually thinner fabrics and do not have the quality certifications or support provided by an international company like DuPont®.

You can be 100% sure that every model of BLB® pants has been tested and certified in Dupont® laboratories, which speaks to our integrity as a company and our concern for your safety. No other "aramid" offered on the market has this backing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why choose Kevlar® jeans instead of traditional Cordura® pants?

    ABRASION - HEAT RESISTANCE - CUT RESISTANCE. Cordura® material, commonly used in motorcycle suits, is a synthetic fabric that is resistant to abrasion, but not to cutting. If you were to be involved in an accident and a sharp stone, metal or some sharp accessory on the motorcycle cut your pants, your skin would be exposed and the protection against abrasion would be of little use in that case, since the friction process would begin to fray the fabric quickly. Kevlar® has significantly greater resistance to abrasion, as well as resistance to cutting by sharp objects, which is why it is even used for industrial protective equipment, armor and bulletproof vests. This feature makes it far superior in protective clothing for motorcyclists, which no other type of material offers. Cordura® fabrics, despite being resistant to abrasion, heat up with friction (being a 100% synthetic fabric), which can cause serious burns. Kevlar®, on the other hand, does not heat up due to friction, due to the inherent properties of the material. The only advantage of Cordura® over Kevlar® is that some Cordura® garments are water-resistant, but most of them require additional waterproof liners that you have to install inside the pants, which makes them impractical when riding a motorcycle. Most motorcyclists always prefer an additional waterproof outer layer, in case of rain, since these liners are usually very hot or are not breathable fabrics.
  • What makes Black Label Biker® jeans different from other motorcycle jean options on the market?

    COMFORT - SAFETY - WARRANTY. Black Label Biker® is the only brand of jeans made with Dupont® certified Kevlar®. In addition, the type of Kevlar® we use exceeds CE requirements, exceeding European standards for motorcycle clothing by up to 3 times. With this, you can be sure that there is no better level of protection in a motorcycle garment that is also the most comfortable garment available for riding. Black Label Biker® is the brand that provides the HIGHEST Kevlar® COVERAGE on the market. Other brands of motorcycle jeans only have "aramid" (imitation Kevlar®) coverage on the buttocks, knees and a little on the sides, plus it is a thin layer, with the aim of reducing costs at the expense of reducing safety. Likewise, Black Label Biker® is the only motorcycle jeans brand on the market that gives you a LIFETIME WARRANTY in case of an accident. No other brand of jeans on the market offers this guarantee.
  • Why are hip and knee protectors not included with the jeans?

    You can use any hip and knee protection with your jeans. The reason they are not included is because truly certified protections are expensive (in the case of BLB® protections, they are CE2 certified), and we try to keep the most competitive price for our products. So, you can have 2 or more pairs of jeans and simply swap the protections between them when you use them. Remember to check the condition of the protections on all your equipment from time to time, as these also suffer wear and tear with use.
  • What does it mean that "Black Label Biker® jeans exceed the European standard by up to 3 times"?

    There are several types of regulations, American and European, for testing motorcycle products. In the case of pants, these must be subjected to abrasion tests, with the European standard being the strictest in this regard. Black Label Biker® pants are designed with a denser layer of DuPont™ Kevlar®, which translates into greater abrasion resistance for longer time and distance, exceeding up to 3 times the abrasion resistance required by the standard. The real concern of a motorcyclist in the event of an accident should be abrasion, and the clothing they wear should be focused on the greatest possible resistance to it. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT: "What you save on protective equipment to ride your motorcycle, you could pay more than 100 times in hospitals if you do not choose the right equipment."
