Hey Sandeep,
Thank you for your kind review. We’re so glad to hear you’re happy with the fit and feel the jeans are worth it. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
Best bike jeans around.
Best bike jeans around.
Just tried them for the first time today.
Super comfy, you forget you're actually wearing protective gear.
I like the fact that they have a decent bit of stretch to them too so makes wearing them even more comfortable than normal denims, they look amazing too. Good fit and true to size, if you order your normal denim size, they will definitely fit.
I bought both colours, blue and black and they are both great.

Hey Mark,
Thank you for your great review. We’re so pleased to hear that the jeans gave you both comfort and confidence on your ride while still looking great. It’s wonderful to know the stretch and true-to-size fit worked perfectly for you, and we’re glad you’re enjoying both colours. Your feedback means a lot to us.
Great purchase !!!!
I bought the Pure Grit riding jeans in both colours, and I couldn’t be happier. At first, I was a little unsure because of the mixed reviews, but they really surprised me in the best way. The quality is excellent, and the fit is spot on — unlike other riding jeans I’ve tried that feel baggy and shapeless. These have a proper slim fit, look great, and are super comfortable to ride in. Honestly, I’d recommend them 100% to anyone who wants jeans that fit well and look good.

Riding shorts
Ordered my riding shorts. I am 6' 2" 185 lbs and I ordered a medium which matched the waste size. They were a touch on the loose side. I called and they immediately sent out a small. The shorts are amazing...a real game changer for a long two day ride up to the Sagnuay fjords I did last month. What would normally be painful at day's end, was as if I hadn't rode at all. The quality seems great and even when I go for short rides I wear them. Amazing design, quality, and follow up service. A company that cares...thank you so much!

Hey Doug,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that the riding shorts made such a difference on your trip and that you’re enjoying the comfort and quality on every ride. We’re also glad the size exchange worked out smoothly for you, as making sure you get the right fit is always our priority. Your kind words about our service mean a lot to the whole team, and we’re grateful to have you as part of the Rippl community.
The motorcycle shorts are working well.
Did my first ride on my motorcycle and the Rippl riding shorts seemed to help with my comfort. I ride a motorcycle with a 360 degree crank meaning the pistons move together which creates a harmonic buzz vibration through the chassis that can make you a bit uncomfortable as you ride longer distances. The shorts seemed to help right away so anxious to go ride some more but I didn’t feel like I could ride 8 hours at this point but my 2 hour ride was nice.
I wasn’t pleased that the company is based in England but the order shipped directly out of China. Doesn’t anyone have a warehouse anymore??
Tracking was sketchy as the location kept moving around and stating “mainland in different US states” Initially the product was shown 15 miles from my house and I “thought” I was receiving in 2 days. Nope, it then moved the location to somewhere in California, then the East coast and back to California.
In reality as the shipping updated it was in Mainland China being transferred between sorting facilities. Then the tracking stopped for a few days once in the States then all of sudden it updated with a new carrier arriving that day.
A cumbersome process but I did receive the goods but plan on two weeks before you may see it.

Hey Tami,
Thank you for sharing your detailed review. We’re glad to hear the Rippl riding shorts are already making a difference to your comfort on the bike. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the frustrating shipping experience. We do have fulfillment centers in different parts of the world, including the UK, but in your case the ApexRides shorts were shipped from our overseas facility. We regret the confusion this caused with the tracking updates and understand how inconvenient that must have been. We truly appreciate your patience and your feedback, and we’re happy to know the product itself is helping you enjoy your rides more.
They are Scammers
Scammers, please beware.
These people are incompetent and scammers. I've sent all the details of me shipping. Its their own damn shipping label and yet they cant track it. I've sent them the copy of the label, still not able to track. Yet somehow it's my fault or responsibility to keep proving proof after proof. Stop scamming people and Refund my money. Its been over 6 months. Damn leeches

Hey Rahul,
We sincerely apologize for the experience you’ve had and understand how frustrating this must have been.

Please rest assured your refund was processed on September 14, and we’re sorry it took so long to resolve. We take your concerns seriously and will continue working to ensure this does not happen again.

Like with everything that claims to make your riding a better experience, I was a bit dubious but I have to say these shorts are brilliant. Holds everything in place even when on a spirited ride & for my everyday commute i don’t get that acre anymore & the other plus side, when I’ve pulled up for a coffee at busy stops I found you can sit on concrete blocks with out get a cold bum !

Picked up a pair of riding pants from Rippl Impact Gears and honestly, game changer. The quality is spot on — tough, comfy, and makes me feel a lot more confident on the bike
tip: go one size smaller if you want the padding to stay snug where it should.
Also, huge props to their customer service — I had to swap out my riding shorts and they handled it super fast.

Do not be fooled. Scam company…
I spent 50.00 on the rider shorts and they sent me an XS size that I wouldn't be able to wear when I was 6 years old. They have no contact number, how convenient. And they don't get back with you on email. Their return policy is ridiculous. This company is horrible and a scam. Their verbage hooks you lies.

Pure Grit riding jeans
Pure Grit riding jeans. Order the wrong size by accident so sent them back and received a refund no fuss. Order the correct size and OMG they are so comfy! No more rigid biking jeans! The armour is well placed and the construction feels really sturdy. They're nice and warm too, even went through and couple of rain showers today and stayed dry. Highly recommended.

Still no delivery
Ordered jeans at the beginning of August with 2-3 days shipping advertised. Mid August I received a notification to say the item had been delivered which it infact hadn't. I emailed and received a response to say the item hadnt yet been shipped as there had been a problem with a batch of the jeans they received and it would be a further 2 weeks wait. This deadline has now also passed and still no product or update regarding a possible delivery date. They were ordered to use in the summer months before the weather closed in but looking like it will be next summer before they arrive. Never used a company that allows you to purchase a product they dont hold in stock when the wait time is so considerable.
Consider significant wait times before ordering.

Hey Martin,
I am really sorry for the experience you described. I understand how frustrating it must have been waiting longer than expected, especially since you ordered the jeans for summer use.
From what I can see, your order has now been delivered, but I understand you want to return them for a different size. Our team has already sent you a return label so you can easily send them back, and we will arrange the exchange once they arrive.
I truly apologize for the earlier confusion around stock availability and shipping timelines. Thank you for your patience while we get this resolved for you.
Outstanding product along with outstanding customer service.
I was in the process of looking to change the seat on my BMWF650GS when I heard about these padded shorts . I was a little sceptical at first but after a few hours in the saddle I knew I made the right decision. Not only did they relieve the pressure on my tail bone they gave my behind the much needed curves my wife was looking for. lol. Not to mention that I saved hundreds of dollars on a new seat. Did I mention that there customer service was outstanding. Making sure I had the right size shorts.

Ordered a pair of jeans at the end of July, still waiting for them to arrive. I e-mailed them asking when they would arrive and was told they would be shipped mid August. We are now at the end of August and still no update on shipping so wondering if I am ever going to receive them. Just be wary if you are ordering from this company as it’ll be quicker elsewhere
