Vanson Highway 101 Mens Pants are a hybrid of pants and chaps - made of firenze black medium weight leather with all the comfort and warmth of leather pants combined with the easy on, easy off of chaps.
For riders wanting a lighter weight we also make a textile version, Style C101. Inspired by the famous Highway 101 that runs the entire length of California through multiple climate zones where easy-on and easy-off clothing is a virtual necessity. From the hot and dry Los Angeles basin, along the coast, past Santa Barbara, up to foggy San Francisco, and then further northward to the cool and often wet Redwood Empire, Highway 101 Pants can handle the changing climate.
Designed to be slipped on over regular pants or shorts, our Highway 101 Pants have long chap-style zippers along the outseam of each leg. The waistband has Velcro tabs at each side seam so the pants can be adjusted for the perfect fit. The rider™s lower back/kidney area is protected by the raised and curved rear waistband so that when riding there is full coverage. At the ankle, the zipper end is covered by a flap secured by Velcro which is constructed to allow the pant legs to be easily trimmed to length and hemmed, if need be. Armor pouches are sewn in at the inside knees to accommodate knee armor. Along the side seam and outseam zipper is a long strip of sewn-in Velcro to accommodate optional hip pads. Sewn inside the waistband are four sets of buttons (two buttons at each location) to allow suspenders to be used to comfortably hold the pants. Vanson Suspenders (Style SUSP) are a perfect match. Sizing is in waist size from 26 to 44 in two inch increments.

BLACK FIRENZE - MEDIUM WEIGHT LEATHER ( 1.2 mm ) Selected skins are gently tumbled for extra softness and a slight pebble look. Milling brings the grain up making the natural markings a little more pronounced. Garments made of this leather will require very little breaking-in time as the leather is soft and supple right away.

I just wanted to write you a letter saying thanks for building such a great product. I know you probably hear this a lot, but I was recently in a motorcycle crash while wearing your Enfield jacket and I believe it helped save me from serious injury. In the course of the accident, a Jeep ran over me while I was wearing your jacket. Please allow me to explain:
On May 18th 2013, I was on the way home from buying a second motorcycle and I was following a lifted Jeep Cherokee. The 16 year old driver of the Jeep (with a brand new license) turned right into a street and then whipped left to make a U-turn without looking. Unfortunately, I had no time to stop, and collided with his driver's side door. I was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. The driver then decided that he should move his Jeep off the road, and proceeded to run me over in the process. His driver's side rear tire drove up onto me at my waist, rolled up my spine and directly over my head.
I was extremely lucky - I am miraculously unhurt after this accident. I sustained a concussion, but I have no broken bones, no lacerations, no internal injuries, and no internal bleeding. Just the concussion and some bumps and deep bruises - not even any road rash! I was released from the hospital 6 hours after the crash. Considering that the driver of the Jeep drove over my body, I believe your product saved me from serious injury. The jacket has some light scuffs, but there is hardly a mark on the leather. My jacket was a standard Enfield with a custom dark brown competition weight leather - the thickest leather I have owned. Unfortunately, the ambulance crew cut it off me before I had a chance to say anything, and it was completely ruined as a result.
I have owned several of your jackets before, but this one was my go-to jacket. It fit me perfectly and it moved with me when I rode. Your jackets are not only great protection, but they are the most functional motorcycle jackets I have owned (and I've owned a few). I must say that I am now thoroughly convinced of the quality of your products. I will be replacing this jacket with another Vanson as soon as my finances will allow, and I will proudly tell my friends about how your product played a large role in keeping me alive and healthy. My wife, who is currently pregnant, thanks you as well. I believe this means even more to her than it does to me.

I have been a Vanson fan for years but this past year has made me more than a lifetime owner/ advertiser of Vanson products. I had 2 wrecks on my CBR1100XX in 2005 and each time I was wearing my Vanson gear...each and every time they [Vanson gear]have saved me from abrasions and major injury..The jacket and pants still look brand new except for a "little character". Thanks for making such a great product, I really consider them a factor in the reason I am here today!

My jacket just turned 30 years old. It is as strong and sturdy as the day it was bought, and more supple than I could have imagined leather to be. It is one of my oldest and most prized possessions. My jacket has seen probably 30 of 50 states, as well as some track day usage. I wear it regardless of heat or cold, and although it doesn't have the venting features of your wonderful new products, it's specialness more than makes up for that for me. It has a mature permanence about it, and I believe the jacket will never wear out. I would recommend your product to anyone.
just bought one of your suits and it helped me already

Here is a picture of me in action in “the horseshoe” at Texas World Speedway on my way to victory in the HW Twins Novice class. I have had these leathers for two years now, and they have performed well in several crashes, and I just now had to send them off for repair after a recent get-off at Hallett.

I ride a honda TransAlp xlv650. I got this Vanson when I was studying in Boston this past fall. and as one of my teachers there, Bill Burke said, there is no compromise in safety. Buy a Vanson.
