IT CAN GET WILD OUT THERE - VOLUME 31

 

We get these stories from every corner of the world. But this one kicks off in the mountains of Northern Thailand — Day One of a tour with mates, his old man, and a whole lot of road ahead.



Ben was carving his way out of Chiang Mai, heading up to Thailand’s highest peak when he misjudged a bend at around 80kph. A few leaves hiding in the shade of the curve were enough to kick out the back wheel. Next thing he knows, he’s sliding across the asphalt with the bike on top of him.

“I overcooked it. Went wide, lost the rear and just slid under the bike until it flipped off me and hit the railing. I jumped up, and barring a few scratches — was totally fine.

The aftermath: Ben’s bike came off second best.

Ben was wearing a pair of SA1NT Unbreakable jeans, and as he tells it, they “did an extraordinary job.” No burns, no deep abrasions, no shredded denim. Just a layer that did what it was built to do — take the hit so his skin didn’t have to.

Scuffed, scraped, but still intact — and so was Ben.

That’s the difference. When things go sideways — and fast — you want gear that’s already been through it. This wasn’t a low-speed tumble in a car park. This was a full-send slide through a Thai mountain road at 80 clicks. And Ben rode the rest of the trip out like nothing happened.

"Honestly — SA1NT saved me."

The bike got bent. The jeans held up. The rider walked away.
