Draggins kevlar longjohns now available in NZ

[oldrider]

Every add for draggin jeans shows a guy being towed behind a bike,sure they maybe good in a slide,but the impact when the body lands is what hurts,sure if sliding kevlar helps,but rarely see moto riders in kevlar do we.Yep this summer I may grab a pair of kevlar jeans with armour added(not the pocketed armour but aftermarket) for short rides,but mostly leather on rides of more than 20km distance.

Long rides are just a whole lot of short rides stitched together, crashes happen in short bits generally no longer than 50 metres at the most!

Not criticising your comment, just something I have pondered over the years, in fact every time I decide on what gear for my next ride!

I have also been pondering Draggin Jeans etc ever since they came out!

Crashes nearly always involve a fall. The video's show a person being dragged from a sitting position with no fall involved. Not a typical accident at all.

I won't wear anything Draggin' or similar - the grapefruit sized haematoma that was sticking out of my right thigh late last year is testament to that :P
