Rokker Cargo Slim In Black

The Rokker Cargo Slim (sometimes known as the Rokker Black Jack Slim) is, first and foremost, a styling exercise. It is very much based on the company’s Chino pant. Like their Chino, it is a single-layer pant made from 14 ounce Dynatec. This material is amazingly strong, and delivers a slide time of just under 6.2 seconds, which makes it around 50% more abrasion resistant than leather. But instead of the Chino’s classic straight-leg cut, the Cargo Slim has a much slimmer profile, with a heavy taper from the knee down to the ankle. This fit does mean that only a short, ankle boot will fit inside the leg of the trouser. A taller boot won’t although, with such a calf-hugging fit, you could wear a boot on the outside of the pant. And this is what we think Rokker had in mind when they produced this trouser. Although you can wear these Cargos on any bike, we believe it has been designed for ‘Scrambler’ riders and for those who prefer the off-road aesthetic, so that they can wear some kind of off-road boot over the pant. As a cargo-style pant, they also of course have pockets on the leg. Like the Chinos, they have a Nanosphere waterproofing treatment to the fabric. They also have a Coldblack coating to deflect the heat of the sun’s UV rays. Now even though the Rokker Cargo Slim is made from the same fabric as their Chino, the Cargo Slim is some 20% lighter, and that comes down to the fact that the cargo pants have no mesh lining, a much simpler armour pocket and lighter armour. In fact, these pants are designed to take the latest, super-thin Ghost D30 Armour and come supplied with knee armour as standard. It is amazing stuff. It moulds comfortably around the knee, but it’s flat so, when you’re off the bike, you hardly know it’s there. The armour pocket that takes the knee armour is also adjustable. Now fixed armour pockets have always been a weakness on Rokker jeans, but a combination of Ghost protectors and adjustable pockets means that getting the armour right is no longer an issue. As a small company, Rokker initially had all of its products certified only to the A level under EN 17092, in order to make them legally saleable. Over time, Rokker will test to a higher level. When the Cargo Light went into production, it was only A certified, but Motolegends has now been supplied with the SATRA test report that confirms that they have passed at the AA level. The current stock, therefore, has a single A label inside, but when the same pant goes into production at some point in 2021 it will carry an AA label. As an AA pant, they will have to be supplied with hip armour, which does not come as standard with the current version,and so will be priced about £30 more than this production.
