These hard-working jeans feature a durable button fly and heavy duty motocross stitching to make sure your jeans keep it together even when you don't. The stretch denim has a touch of spandex and a gusseted crotch to provide freedom of movement and maximum comfort. We've also added moisture wicking properties to help keep you dry and odorless. And at just $79.95, the "Six Pack" won't break the bank. Whether you're kicking back at your local pub or throwing tail whips at the local skate park the "Six Pack" jean has you covered in style. Built like a tank but way more comfortable. Go ahead and throw away your old denim... you won't want 'em any more.

Specs:
98% cotton / 2% spandex
Gusted crotch for greater flexibility
Heavy duty Motocross stitching
Latch system on lower right leg to keep paint leg out of the chain.
Regular fit

We also launched the first round of our Signature Series Tees. Check them out at: www.republikmtb.com

 If I ever spend $80 on a pair of jeans, will someone here promise to put a bullet through my brain? Won't break the bank Rolleyes

 Dude, people spend that much for 501's in London...

 $80 is like £40 over here, thats cheap for a pair of jeans, most jeans here are about £60-£70, definetly buy some if they sell them in the UK

 There's no chance that they'll be £40 - there's such a huge markup on US products here in the UK, I wouldn't be suprised if they were the same in pounds as in dollars. I'm liking the Misfits T-shirt though.

 Lol, I'm aware that most chic people spend at least $120 on their jeans, I'm saying that if I ever do, someone needs to shoot me. Frankly, I can't tell the difference between my Levi's from Ross (last year's style for $15-$20) and their new Levi's for $60, or their 1969's and Lucky whatnot for a good clip more.

 I don't know jeans just don't seem like they're going to have that much ventilation. If you're going for an all day session any time during the year in California, it's going to be hot in denim.

 80 bucks for jeans isent that much that all

 All you folks are just a bunch of pricks discussing about a pair of jeans, that looks good, for a fair price (compared to any european store), and god knows, if they're good or not. You won't become a fashion model by buying a pair of blue jeans, but if you can say that when you are buying white, golden, orange coloured (ugly) stuff for your bikes, cuz you've seen that in the magazine... Give me a fokken break... Some of us ride konas, some rockies, others even yetis or iron horses... It is about fun, not about who has something more blingbling... You like em, buy em, you don't well then don't. Or just leave it... All the best to you, i am gone riding.

 get cheap jeans for riding, spend the extra on fashion jeans or whatever for off your bike. no amount of stitching or stretch denim is gonna stop the fabric ripping when you fall

 You people are a bunch of douche bags for dissing republik!!!
I've ridden bikes with these people; and they helped to build the new freeride park in Bend Oregon. To say that they have nothing to do with mountain biking is f*cking rediculous; biking is what these people live for!!!! plus, 80$ is cheap compared to Royal, Troy Lee, Fox!!!

 naaa i got a pair of fox jeans for £6 gbp beat that for value. but the regular price for fox jeans is abit steap. nothing compared to volcom jeans though.

 i want to make sure the crotch wont rip out while im riding park. then i might considering putting down some cash.
  • 10 0
 They Won't. We've put 'em to the test. We used a triple stitched diamond gusset on the crotch. We also used heavy weight motocross stitching to make sure the seams don't blow. Everyone at Republik rides and we were tired of blowing out a pair of Jeans after two sessions at the skate park. We hear what you're saying and that's why we designed the Six Pack.

 meh- is right.
all you guys who think your proving something by buying 30 dollar jeans need to change your attitude. We are hardly turning into 'fashion modles' by buying jeans designed for riding. Since when are baggy jeans and printed tees a major fashion statement (as said above).
if you dont like them, dont buy them.

 This is hilarious. I know the guys at Republik and they are all about mtn biking, not fashion. I am wearing these jeans right now and they aren't that loose either. If you fellas want tighter jeans thats insane, I need a little breathing room, I guess you are under equipped if tighter jeans feel right. Wal mart jeans are great and everything but I like riding specific clothing, I guess what I'm saying is don't knock it till you rock it. I ride in jerseys and riding shorts and jeans and tshirts, the jerseys and riding shorts are more comfortable because they are made for riding, just like these jeans. Get over yourselves, these are made for rippers with social lives, go spank it to bike porn wearing your wal marts, I'll be giving your girl my best.

 Stuff looks sweet, including the shirts. The shoes he's wearing are rad too, cause they are Loteks, and Loteks kick ass.

 lotek is the same as all the other skate shoes, everything made in taiwan. We will kick your ass Smile
  • 1 1
 Lotek is better then any skate shoe. Rich is a cool dude, and their team is killer. Enns is a great dude who is on their team. I rather keep my money in the industry and support Lotek/Beloe/Orchid then Nike or something like that.

 I think this entire brand has nothing to do with mountain biking. It's all just marketing toward a niche that they think has surplus money.

 I can't believe how someone can take pride in being one dimensional... "I am a biker and having other interests is for sellouts!"
how cool is that? I am glad these guys are trying to bring fashion and function into biking. (although, element, dc, and quiksilver are using coolmax denim in a few of their jeans currently, which is pretty bad ass)
If your buying $40 jeans, your probably paying far too much for what your getting (really poor fit, bottom of the bin denim, will not take even one good fall). $80 from a small company is more than reasonable, trust me Republik's margins are not in the same league as that of wrangler or lee (who do make regular priced $60-80 denim as well).

where you choose to spend your money is what will shape the future. If you want walmart's at every few miles and everything to be a commodity, keep spending irresponsibly.

 Wow, they look....Just like any other pair of jeans. What a surprise.

 i'd like to see some slimmer ones, getting a pant leg caught in the chain is death. It's not about fashion at all. I like the concept so far, I'm waiting to see what comes out next... Stretch denim is the only way to ride for sure.

 theres a latch thingy so you dont get your pant leg caught

 Yeah, kinda cheap.. Nice jeans cost about 120£ in Denmark.. That's about 230 American dollars.. You have nothing to complain about.
  • 0 1
 And you chose to buy them, I could go to the mall and buy $300+ jeans if I wanted, but I don't. I bet you there's somewhere in your town that sells 20 euro jeans

 These jeans will be sick and if you like to ride in the winter they are perfect. All the Republik stuff is dope and super durable so you dont have to worry.

 no way im paying 80 bucks for jeans, i can go get the same ones almost for 20 bucks! what a rip off! and were bikers, not fashoin modles, so when spend the extra money on jeans we can get cheaper at gap or wearhouse one(where you shopp) i'd rather spend 80 on bike parts not jeans.

 I am purely ashamed of those of you in support of these jeans and this "fashion" thing. Come on. "I dunno about you but I like to get laid" is the weakest shit I've ever heard. I've seen the scummiest looking terds get laid by the hottest chicks. There is little correlation with the two. Basically what i'm saying is, F!CK you, go to Wal Mart and spend 8 dollars on jeans like I do. Save your hard earned money you trendy pansies.
