All About Dyneema

Applies to: Utopia Jeans

Never Compromise

Dyneema® never compromises on performance, protection, strength and comfort.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is the worlds strongest fiber. 15 times stronger than steel, extremely light, water resistant, tear resistant, puncture resistant, abrasion resistant, and chemical resistant. A double weave beam technology is used, meaning the Dyneema fiber is used in a warp and weft direction for 360 degree protection. It is the only textile capable of protecting against abrasion with a single layer of fabric while still providing the comfort and look of real denim.

Strength You Will Not Feel

Stellar uses this technology in a stretch denim composed of 52% Dyneema fiber, 37% cotton, 9% nylon and 2% elastine resulting in a 13oz single layer abrasion resistant denim that is certified CE EN13595-1 European motorcycle safety standards. With Dyneema, there’s no need for an extra layer of material like Kevlar between you and the denim. Dyneema content at 52% gives you 4 seconds slide time as opposed to traditional cotton jeans of 0.4 seconds. Strength you will not feel. It is flexible, soft, breathable, wicking and will beautifully patina over time. Dyneema also delivers the lowest carbon footprint per unit of strength making it the greenest of all competitors and an amazing alternative to leather, a vegan choice in moto gear.

15 Time Stronger Than Steel

Wearing Dyneema denim also keeps you cooler than exposing your skin to the elements, even in hot weather. Its thermal conductivity keeps your skin cooler in hot conditions, and its wicking material does not absorb moisture which helps you dry quickly, and stay cool and comfortable in warmer climates. The UHMWPE Dyneema fibers are also chemical resistant and keeps its technical properties 10x longer even when exposed to the sun's UV rays.
