Our Story
We didn't set out to build a motorcycle brand. We set out to solve a problem.
The problem was simple: motorcycle protective clothing was either safe or wearable. Not both. Lined jeans were stiff, heavy, and lost their protective properties after washing. Single-layer fabrics weren't strong enough. Nothing on the market did what it needed to do — protect you on the bike and look right everywhere after.
So we went back to the fibre.
A decade of research
One breaktrough.
Resurgence Gear was founded in Toronto, Canada in 2013. But the story starts earlier — with years of research into protective fibres and spinning techniques. Materials that failed. Materials that almost worked. And eventually, one that exceeded every standard we could throw at it.
We called it PEKEV®. A patented fibre built on UHMWPE — one of the strongest polymers ever developed. 15 times the abrasion resistance of carbon steel. Permanent protection that doesn't degrade in sun, water or wash out. And woven correctly, it feels like fabric. Not armour.

From the fibre
Everything else followed.
The first product was a pair of motorcycle jeans. Then came the Cafe Racer — our original selvedge denim riding jean, still one of our bestsellers. Then riding shirts. Hoodies. Waxed jackets. A rain system. A vest.
A wardrobe for riders who don't want to look like they're wearing gear.
Every product we make is CE certified to EN 17092:2020. Every product ships with D3O® Ghost armour included. No entry-level products. No compromises on protection. One standard — the highest.
Our commitment
This is all we do.
We don't make helmets. We don't make boots. We don't make gloves.
We make motorcycle apparel — jeans, jackets, hoodies, shirts, and vests — and we make it better than anyone else.
That focus is what got us here. It's what keeps us pushing.
North America
Moto Reloaded — bringing Resurgence Gear to North America
Resurgence Gear earned its name in Europe and Canada. But riders across the US and Mexico — together one of the largest riding communities in the world — deserved direct access to gear built to this standard, not a patchwork of importers.
When the founder of Resurgence Gear offered us the opportunity to rebuild the brand across North America, we didn't hesitate. We're Barbara and Matthias Berger — and we know this brand well. We've spent years running Riderstyle Trading GmbH in Germany, building Resurgence Gear into one of Europe's most respected names in protective motorcycle apparel.
Moto Reloaded Gear USA LLC is our US company — built to bring Resurgence Gear to riders across the US and Mexico directly. We handle everything: distribution, fulfillment, and customer service. Every order ships duty-paid, with no surprises and no middlemen.
This is the same gear, the same standard, the same people — now closer to you than ever.
