Argon: quality, affordable motorcycle apparel

Argon is a relatively new name on the Australian motorcycle landscape, but its impact has already been felt thanks to an ethos comprising five main pillars: affordability, comfort, quality, safety and aesthetic appeal.

Those ‘non negotiables’ set Argon apart from the other major players in the industry, and it’s all achieved at prices that won’t break the bank.

Argon’s new range of motorcycle jeans, ‘jeggings’ (leggings that look like jeans), market-first joggers and casual leather jackets follow the same philosophy. Manufactured to suit Australian conditions, all the items have been forensically CE tested and approved.

Comfort is not just a by-product of the design process, either: it’s intrinsic. And that’s why Argon gear is so versatile.

As well as the six new products featured below, Argon also has leather riding gloves and boots – and there are even Kevlar-lined Argon flannos and fleeces!

Argon apparel is available from leading motorcycle dealers and accessory retailers. Visit www.argonmoto.com for more information.

In the past, on-road motorcycle riding with dress jeans came with myriad safety caveats – but with the all-new Argon Amped jeggings, protection is now a reality. Specifically designed and cut for women, the single-layer ‘super’ stretch design is not only supremely comfortable and in sync with current fashion trends, but gains independent Level A CE certification thanks to high-quality Cordura denim. All that manufacturing clout is enhanced with heavy-duty seams that are ISO4916 compliant – in other words, the denim won’t come apart, even under intense pressure. There’s CE Level 2 armour as well and the Amped jeggings are available in regular and short leg options.

Fashion moves in cycles, but some items of clothing endure – like the traditional leather jacket. The Argon Angel jacket, a new addition to the ever-expanding Argon ladies range, fits into that classic mould but with a level of versatility that guarantees a smart look on and off your motorcycle. It’s a non-perforated design, so it’s perfect as the cooler months approach, and it’s constructed from tear-resistant and extremely soft goat leather that guarantees it’ll be a long-term addition to the motorcycle wardrobe. With stretch sides to promote a more comfortable fit, the Argon Angel is a timeless, understated accompaniment for all riders and all genres of bikes.

The all-new Argon Phaze jeans follow the same affordable, comfortable and quality narrative as the company’s jeggings and jogger ranges, and introduce super-light and super-strong Dyneema denim fibres into the manufacturing process. That’s why the jeans have reached Level AA CE certification during independent testing, and there’s also CE Level 2 armour as well as extremely robust seams that hold the denim together with a vice-like grip. That’s AA protection for well under $300 and, combined with eye-catching style and comfort, it’s what sets them apart from the competition. There are regular and short options.

The ‘daily double’ for motorcycle jeans with exceptional safety at a tantalising price point! The men’s Argon Venom joggers feature a dual denim layer with a waist drawstring and elastic cuff on the ankle – part of a more casual and contemporary look – and there’s A-level CE certification, Level 2 armour and heavy-duty seams that are ISO4916 compliant. They’re lined with Stretch Dupont Kevlar in all the major impact zones, and you can purchase in regular or short leg cuts.

Best paired with Dodge jacket ($449.95)

Lots of leather jackets are just too stifling. Argon’s wise to the fact, and the all-new Dodge leather jacket has perforations on the arms and chest vents to keep riders cool when the temperature goes up. Like the Angel jacket, the Dodge is made from soft yet tough-as-nails goat leather that’s extremely abrasion resistant to keep riders safe. It’s also light, which means it’s extremely versatile and is as much at home in social settings with its striking vintage brown colour as it is zooming along your favourite stretch of road.

More riding protection with high-quality Dyneema denim origins, the Argon Amped range is designed for women in regular or short length. Level 2 knee protectors are included, and there are hip protector pockets as well. Just like its Phase jeans sibling, the Amped jeans have reached AA CE certification – so tested to the limit – and casual styling is the name of the game to enhance their adaptability. Comfort is assured by the single-layer denim, as opposed to a heavier dual-layer design. The Amped jeans come in blue or black.
