Hardy is a mens jean with a skinnier fit than Merlin's regular jeans. They are 100% CE approved - not just the armour.

The outer is super soft and comfortable thanks to a premium Cordura denim (highly abrasion resistant), Coolmax (sweat wicking) and stretch mix. The lining offers excellent road protection too, using a 100% DuPont Kevlar fibre lining to impact areas.

Hardy comes with pre-fitted Level 2 CE soft moulding knee armour, a short connecting zipper as well as a Euro connecting hoop and a YKK locking fly zipper. Hip armour pockets are concealed inside the jean and there is a mesh lining for better breathability and comfort.

Attention to detail is in the rivets and buttons which come with Route One branding and an antique finish.
