Quasi's sliderz kevlar jeans, anyone got 'em?

[zeocen]

Hey guys, I'm in the market for some Kevlar jeans, nailed it down to Teknic or Quasi, of course I'm learning towards Quasi just for the 'help out the locals' factor.

I was just wondering if anyone has any and what their thoughts are on them, are they baggy enough? I'm not a fan of tight jeans, especially on a bike. I'd also like them to be quite baggy because I'd probably just buy some MX padding and slip them inside the jeans. The Teknic's look great and are quite baggy, though they only have kevlar in the needed places and I'm not sure of the kevlar's quality. It seems Quasi also has a March deal on with $20 off the Sliderz which knocks them to about $20 below Teknics.

Any comments welcomed! I have emailed Quasi and got a great reply, just thought I would see if anyone has had some good use in them and can report back on how they feel.

Cheers!

Go for the shift jeans I reckon. They are difficult to find, but give it a go.

I got first pair for $160, then scored another pair for $140.

Tested the second pair whilst stunting the day i bought them. They work :D

[tri boy]

Quasi's are good.
Comfy, n loose around the boots as you desire.:done:

[zeocen]

Cheers tri boy!
Morcs: I had Shift in mind but then I heard from a KB'er on here in a previous thread, that he found out that the kevlar was only 5% woven kevlar or something. They aren't the safest pants around to begin with so I'd rather have full kevlar in the places needed!

Thanks for the input so far guys

Yup got a pair of Quasi Sliderz, really impressed with them. Not too tight, just the right fit for riding on a bike. And have to say has a better quality to the amount of kevlar and stitching than other brands that I have tried.

Big ups to Quasi for the quality of his products....:rockon:

[Pwalo]

I really like my Quasi jeans. Not sure that I'd call them baggy, but they're certainly all day comfortable, and look good enough to get away with in the office (if you're not required to wear a suit of course!).

Fantastic for a day like today.

[Quasievil]

Yeah me to, I got Quasi ones had them since conception, so 8 months ago, all good.
Spec
12 oz Denium
double stitched seams

stylish as HELL !!

oh and I think they are on special right now for $159.00

Aaght don't go telling me things like that, I just don't have the cash to spare on new toys at the moment :pinch:

[zeocen]

Well, with such 'persuasion' as that, how could I possibly resist?

Ordered myself some, hopefully they get here soon! *cough*iknowyouarereading*cough* :D

[RantyDave]

Wearing a pair at the moment. Yes baggy. Yes would appear to have enough Kevlar. Some of the inner stitching in mine I'm not 100% sure about, but there appears to be enough of it that a few minor errors don't look like a problem. I'm happy with them.

Hmm.... have been wanting a pair of riding jeans for aaaaggees... Shall see how much $$ I have after I get the 600 :D

I disagree. The Kevlar is thick. I have a pair where I slid up hill on my arse that I could show you...

Think there is an entirely different thread for arse showing...

Hey, I'm not disputing they're bad pants mate, it was just what I was heard, not what was fact!

[Morcs]

No worries, Its just they are a really good product, and when I find a good product, I like to preach :D

My jeans have made my cordura and leathers redundant. (except in rain or riding hard twisties)

[Romeo]

I went in to buy a pair of those Shift Jeans. But after looking at the pathetic Kevlar covering (Tiny portion on the knees, and a tiny portion on the ass) I was mortified into splashing out $240 on Draggins and I REGRET IT.

I should have got some Sliderz, as they're *nearly* half the price, just as safe and far better looking! My Draggins are baggy as hell and probably less safe because of it - why the fuck do pant makers think that since you've got a 38 inch wasit you're automatically 8 feet tall?!



AS YOU CAN SEE - QUASiMOTO (http://shrunklink.com/akox) Sliderz have an equivalent protective area of Kevlar as the <a href="http://www.dragginjeans.com.au/products/jeans/aboutKevlarJean.htm">Draggin Jeans</a>.

[Robbo]

Have a pair of Shift jeans that i wear when not requiring my leathers. Very comfortable and provide adequate protection, four years old now and still in top condition. However, if i was replacing them i would shop with Quasi as he has great products and supports the biking community. :niceone:

[chasio]

A question for Quasi - any chance of making them in black?

Not quite off-topic, maybe?

[discotex]

My Teknic's are great but Quasi's and Draggin have a little more coverage with the kevlar.

Main issue for me is something casual enough for work and the Teknic fits the bill. Of course then they're a bit baggy which doesn't help if you hit the deck.

Hence why they're strictly round-town use only.

[Donor]

I got Teknics.

Regret it.

Will be saving some coin, hanging my head humbly, and visiting Quasi...

[NordieBoy]

My Draggins fit well but... - why the fuck do pant makers think that since you've got a 34 inch waist you're automatically 5 1/2 feet tall?!

Hiya, yes soon we will be, I can now but havent ordered them yet.

[turtleman]

U sure 'bout that ??
I'm 5 1/2 feet tall, 34" waist and haven't been able to buy pants to fit (i.e. without shortening the leg by 6 - 8 inches) for fcuking years !!

[xwhatsit]

Seems weird. I'm 30"/77cm, 5'11", and I always have to get things shortened. Are you some kind of giant string-bean man?

[twotyred]

shortening is ok, it used to be considered the norm in tailoring.... but that was way back when everyones wife/mother had a sewing machine and knew how to use it...:love: try and find a modern girl who knows how to sew let alone owns an overlocker!:devil2::dodge:

[Romeo]

Yea but the problem with shortening Kevlar jeans is that the knee protection will sit a lot lower than it's supposed to. When I stand my knee kevlar starts below/inline with my kneecap and finishes around low-shin. Not good, plus they're more likely to bunch and ride up if I'm sliding feet first.

That's right, I'm 5'11 with a 38" waist, with 38" Draggins and the legs are about 20cm too long.

I'm not all that impressed with my Draggins TBH - hopefully I wont ever have to crash test them.

[rachprice]

[jrandom]

I bought a pair of Draggins recently (would have considered Quasi jeans but I picked up my Levis at noon the day before Paeroa and realised they'd fallen apart - no time for nowt but a quick trip to Motomail) and had to get them adjusted that same day (yes, it all involved quite a bit of rushing about).

I don't think I've ever bought a pair of pants that were the right length, even back in the halcyon days when I had a 32" waist. I think trouser manufacturers just make them long so that they'll fit all comers, and expect shorter gents to get them adjusted as a matter of course.

[NordieBoy]

Draggin will do custom lengths no problem.
I got mine off TradeMe and if they were 6 inches longer it'd be great but as they fit on the outside of road boots and I wear MX boots and tuck them in it's not a problem.

[NordieBoy]

Seems weird. I'm 30"/77cm, 5'11", and I always have to get things shortened. Are you some kind of giant string-bean man?

My leather pants needed to be lengthened 15cm to bring the knee bit down to where my knee actually is. They were a perfect length standing but sitting on the bike was a different matter.

I've finally discovered cheap skateyiey jeans that drag the cuffs just when I'm walking but could do with an extra 10cm when on the bike.

I think it's just my enormouse muscular thighs.

Ah. Those'll be from trying to start that awful XR thing you've got :2thumbsup

I don't need gear, I'm the world's best biker and I normally ride in jandals, boxers and a bathing cap, but what are these kevlar jeans like to wear off the bike? Heavy? Long? Look silly?

[NordieBoy]

but what are these kevlar jeans like to wear off the bike? Heavy? Long? Look silly?

Warmer than normal jeans but otherwise they're just jeans.
In winter I wear them under a baggy pair of jeans.

Leave the mighty XR out of this or I'll start talking about the trophy I won and the mods and... :no:

[zeocen]

Well they didn't arrive today so they'll no doubt arrive tomorrow and I can take them for a good solid ride with a mini review!

i got mine mate, your gunna love em!!

[zeocen]

Well they came this morning so it's all good.
The sun was out and a small ride was in order. I threw them on and went out! These are great jeans, the kevlar is soft and pretty unnoticable walking around etc, they have enough to cover knees if your jeans ride up as well. They are pretty much a perfect fit for me. They are a darker blue (denim blue) than shown on the site which was a pleasant suprise for me.

I did about an hours worth of riding on mostly twisty and sweeping corners, I had no problem with movement restrictions, they basically just feel like jeans, nice and cool too! They provided enough cover over my boots to block a lot of the signature "fuck that's hot" blackbird engine :)

My only gripe is the big fuckoff button at the front that took quite an effort to get in the button hole, but this is obviously so it couldn't possibly come out if you have an off, so it's easy to look past that gripe.

10/10 from zeo, they look great, feel great and the kevlar as well as stitching are of usual quasi quality. Might have to get me a pair of black ones when they're available!

It's easily 25-27c outside and I'm still wearing them, they're just pretty much that comfortable.

Cheers!

-very happy zeo

ah excellent... well come on now, black would be a good thing indeed..

oh, and give bikestore some stock too... there's a good lad :yes:

[TygerTung]

I brought some teknics, and I wouldn't recomend it.

I got a knee down with them and the kevlar seemed to wear out pretty fast.

Plus the kevlar coverage is very bad. Not recomended.

[zeocen]

Jeez mate, you're eager! I don't get my knee down at all, but if I did it sure as shit wouldn't be in jeans with no padding over top! (Would hate to think of what loose jeans like the Teknics would be like on the ground, did they catch at all?)

[gijoe1313]

Wearing mine in class at the moment, toasty warm and comfortable to wear all day.

Got them wet a couple of nights ago, left them to dry out, no probs! The button does get easier to use so no worries on that score.

Now when will Quasi make them in camo colours? :whistle:

:laugh: Have had years of experience having to shorten trousers! For myself, my dad, my husband and my daughter (at least Ripper Roo92 hasn't needed that done for a few years now). Since my sewing machine died (hence the hand sewn teeshirt dress in the "Belle of the rally" thread) all those jobs have had to be done by hand. It's a real drag I can tell you! Find a woman who'll do it for you (by hand or machine) and she's worth looking after! :msn-wink::innocent:

Nah they didn't grip too much.

Had motox knee pads under anyway.

Do you have any 8? I got you to send me some 10 for the wife but they seem to be a very big 10!!!! Much too loose for her. Can I send them back?

[chubby]

Ok, I have just purchased my first set of Quasi's sliderz. Mens size so no May big savings (girls please note).

I had been wearing some Tecknic's and found them to be very good. Then i wore Quasi's. I found:

The fit was so much better and firmer, not tight, just firm (remember these are new) and so there is less flap but great comfort.

A little longer than the others (I'm 186 cm) but with boot and all, just the right length.

The protection was so much more than on the Tecknic's and I can feel that as well as see that. So its certainly a jean i will be happy and confident in wearing on the bike.

Service was fantastic, they arrived when they should and everything was just right.

The only criticism, and this is a personal choice matter. i prefer the more stone washed look. these are a little more formal blue than i wanted but we shall see what a few washes will do to them. As i said this is a personal colour note and it will not stop me wearing these jeans and feeling happy with them.

I am more than happy with the purchase.

[zeocen]

I am wearing mine every day, they have replaced my actual jeans now. I'm going to have to buy another pair I think.

After 2 months of wearing them, literally, every day, I have no complaints.. they have gone through rain, hail and shine and have held up perfectly, no seams appear to be falling apart anywhere. I ride every day and wear them every day, with jeans as comfortable as these that you can just jump on and off your bike it's basically made all normal jeans redundant.

No discomfort with armor underneath the jeans either by the way!

Dont find them too warm to wear all day? I wear my draggins sometimes all day but find it rather warm so usually change.

[zeocen]

In the summer, on extremly hot days I would just roll them up, or would be wearing shorts. I find them quite a comfy temp at the moment!

I think i've had mine for a month now. Wear them everyday.. makes them hard to wash cause I can't have them out of action. So when quasi orders them black ones i'm gonna jump on it. I prefer them to actual Jeans now.
