Salt Flats ClothingAlmost every CE-rated trouser for retro and classic riders is cut slim. The Silk Road Supply Co. Dispatch Pant is not. This fresh moto brand has gone loose and straight, mirroring the fashion du jour for wide-leg slacks.
With its double-panelled front and rugged appearance, the Dispatch emulates workwear, which is not too far from its mission, which is that of protection. Fashion may be the motivation for the cut; however, this is a bona fide riding garment certified to CE-Level AA. That makes it quite suitable for touring and commuting.
The outer material of choice is a robust stretch cotton twill with DuPont Kevlar reinforcement, offering abrasion resistance, complemented by D3O Ghost Level 1 armour at the knee and hip.
Available in two colours, navy and off-white, the Dispatch trouser retails from £249.
