Draggin jeans??

[Squeak the Rat]

I'm getting me a pair of draggins for around town use, ie going to the boozer, racing to the cafe or pootling down to the dairy pootle pootle pootle

Won't be used on the open road.....

[more_fasterer]

Ditto, perfect for commuting to work (in 50k zones) cos then I can wear them all day

[Smorg]

Draggins can also take armour in the knees.

Love my Draggins.

how the hell do you get it in the knees? My came with some but theres no slot or anything to slide them into.......do you have to unstitch them?

[NordieBoy]

They come with rough velcro on the outside that sticks to the knee kevlar.

Yea I have textile as thats all I can afford,

I could save to get full leather as my jacket is wayyy too big looking silly as well as apparently not offering as good protection if it is way too big.

But my problem is i'm afraid i'll grow and it will all be a waste like i'm still nervous about the 315 dollars worth of boots I bought a couple of days ago

I went to TSS last night to try some of the combat pants style ones, well I tried to go to TSS - rode up and down the street I though it was on but couldn't find it! I've been there before, what is wrong with me? has it moved premises? has my brain moved premises?

I sometimes ride with a draggin jeans and draggin jacket but i know they're not really gonna save me much if at all.

at best i'd expect them to reduce a little gravel rash.

obviously they're gonna do nothing at all re saving bones from snapping and that's why i wear a full MX body suit underneath (with built in back protector) as well as extra armour under the baggy camoflage trousers (knee and hip).

even with the armour on, it's way cooler than riding with leathers or cordura and has the advantage of looking like ordinary clothing so ya don't feel out of place in the cafes

You didn't buy a pair of boots, you invested in saving your skin,

if your jacket is seriously to big it can slide of in an accident and back to the gravel rash again, as well as being good quality, gear needs to fit properly

save up the money and invest in the best you can....

True that would be good, but I need to try them on though as I don't know what size to get

i couldn't possibly suggest you try them on in a wellytown shop then buy em cheap from motomail's discount store: that'd be just plain wrong wouldn't it?
