Draggin Jeans

I have a pair of these kevlar lined jeans. They are so comfortable and they look great too. They're from Australia so I don't know if you can get them in the USA but they're certainly worth looking out for!

Here's a link to the site...

http://www.dragginjeans.com.au/

And here's a few of their testing videos...

I'm not great with computers so forgive me if the links don't work.

I've had a pair of those now for years and still look like new.
Thank God I still haven't had to test them. They do feel and look better than chaps.

Have had two pair for almost ten years. They do hold up, but would note on hot days that Kevlar sewed into the seat of the pants makes things rather steamy down there.

i've been thinking about a pair to where while racing. i've got full leathers, them 90+ days are rough at the drag strip. some of them draggin jeans and my kevlar mesh jacket would be the trick for summer.

Jeans are petroleum based. Sliding on pavement causes heat that melts them quickly and causes them to disappear and your skin to follow. Kevlar is great, but only if it stays intact.

Yes, they seem fine, until you need them.

I don't trust anything made of denim, between me and my ass.

Leather only.

Testile at the most.

I raced for 4 years and leather was mandated for a reason.

Not Jeans, Kevlar or not.

GRANTED: Dragon Jeans are better then just plain jeans, but not as good as leather. They breath better....
