Denimotto vs Bull-it: How to Compare Riding Jeans

If you're weighing Denimotto against Bull-it, or any other riding-denim brand, the most useful comparison isn't a spec table written from one brand's point of view. It's a set of questions you can put to every brand and check against the garment label. This page gives you those questions, and our own answers.

Why we don't publish a side-by-side

We can't state another company's prices, materials, sizing or certification status reliably, and those details change. Check them on that brand's own product pages and garment labels. We also don't rank brands: the right pair depends on how you ride, where you ride and how the jeans fit you.

What to check on any pair of riding jeans

• The EN 17092 class on the label. A class (AAA, AA, A, B or C) is awarded to a finished garment model after type-examination by a notified body, covering its materials, seams, fit and protectors. A fabric or lining on its own can't be "AAA".
• The paperwork. For garments sold as protective equipment in Europe, the maker has to supply an EU Declaration of Conformity (or a link to it) and instructions naming the standard used.
• Protector markings. Knee and hip inserts are tested separately to EN 1621-1 and marked on the insert. In the standard test, Level 1 limb protectors must transmit a mean force under 35 kN and Level 2 under 20 kN.
• Fibre claims. "Aramid" is the generic fibre name. A fibre trademark on a product page is a material description, not a test result.
• Fit in the riding position. Protectors only do their job if they stay over your knees and hips when you're seated. See how motorcycle jeans should fit.
• Policies. Read each brand's returns and shipping terms before ordering, especially across borders.

What we can tell you about Denimotto

• Denim riding jeans for men (waist 28–40) and women (25–34), in 23 fabric colours, with a made-to-order option if you need custom sizing.
• Internal pockets at the knees and hips for removable inserts, with one set included with a standard order and an upgrade offered.
• We don’t publish test reports or protection classes for our garments. See Testing & Certification Information.

Our terms are set out on the Refund Policy and Shipping Policy pages.

The bottom line

If a tested protection class is your deciding factor, choose a garment whose label shows one and whose maker can supply the paperwork behind it. If you're choosing on style, colour and custom fit, compare those directly. Either way, ask every brand, including us, the same questions.
