Modeka Atlaz motorbike trousers - AAA protection for long tours
Imagine: early in the morning, the track towards the Alps is clear, later you're already waiting for the next rain shower on the mountain pass road - the Modeka Atlaz motorbike trousers are built for just such days. The Atlaz motorbike trousers combine CE-AAA safety standards with a 3-in-1 construction that is really suitable for touring and works from just above zero to the height of summer. What I like about it: You get robust adventure textile trousers that adapt to your intended use thanks to the membrane and thermal lining, instead of forcing you into a weather window. Especially if you like mixed riding - motorway, country road, gravel road - the Atlaz fits in very well as versatile motorbike trousers for long tours.
- CE class AAA - extremely high abrasion resistance for sporty tours and adventure use
- 500D Cordura Ripstop - robust outer material with additional reinforcement at crash and contact points
- SAS-TEC level 2 protectors on knees and hips - high impact protection without a clumpy feeling
- 3in1 all-season construction with In& Out HydroFlex Pro membrane - motorbike trousers for 0 to 35 degrees
- Long side zip and detachable braces - easy to put on and secure fit even on long rides
What makes the Modeka Atlaz stand out in practice
When it comes to safety, the Modeka Atlaz motorbike trousers are in the top league: CE class AAA, i.e. the same protection class that you are otherwise more familiar with from heavy combos. The 500D Cordura ripstop fabric absorbs bumps much better than normal textiles, and there is twice as much material at the predestined crash points. There are also level 2 SAS-TEC protectors on the knees and ultra-flat hip protectors - a big plus in an emergency, but still comfortable to move in everyday life.
On longer tours, the advantage of the 3in1 system becomes apparent. The In&Out HydroFlex Pro membrane with 20k/20k values reliably keeps the rain out, regardless of whether you wear it on the inside or as an outer layer. The removable thermal lining takes the chill out of cold mornings or autumn rides. If it gets warm later on, simply open the ventilation zips - you'll notice the airflow particularly well in city traffic or on fast country roads.
What I particularly notice in everyday life is how easy it is to put on and take off. Thanks to the extra-long zip at the side, you can get into the trousers with ease, even with wide adventure boots, without having to run around in the yard. There are also detachable braces that keep the textile trousers in place when you're riding a lot or standing up in the terrain. The ergonomically designed stretch zones allow you to move while standing or sitting without feeling tight.
The Atlaz is also suitable for everyday use when it comes to storage space. Two waterproof cargo pockets and additional slit pockets hold small items such as toll tickets, keys or earplugs without you having to constantly reach for your jacket. The magnetic fasteners on the outer pockets are worth their weight in gold when you're wearing gloves - just press them and they're secure. The connecting zip allows you to attach the trousers to matching Modeka jackets so that your back is not exposed at speeds of a hundred plus.
