    I've got shift jeans I wear for my daily commute, but for longer trips i'll throw on my padded/armoured wet weather trou.
    The shifts are ok, I liked the style better than draggins I saw..

    however, I still havnt had an off yet.. few close shaves tho.

    I bought a pair of camo-draggin's from Motomail and I'm loving them. Just got back from the Sth is and did 4000kms in them. They were great cos I could get off the bike and walk around on a blistering hot day and feel quite comfortable whereas my companions had to swelter in Kordura. And at the opposite end of the scale I just threw on a pair of wet weather over-trou to cut out wind and rain (we had 1 day of that).
    Highly recommend them for summertime riding.

    i binned in draggin cargos

    Low speed, locked up the front and went down on the road - Was wearing leather jacket, draggin cargos. Managed to rip the denim like it wasnt even there, and tear a small hole in the kevlar on the knee, and rip up the denim lower down on the leg, leaving only a minimal graze to the knee where the kevlar got holed.

    Personally, i think they're great for round town - going to work in full leathers isn't really an attractive option for me, so i'll definitely be getting another pair of draggins. The kevlar is great for peace of mind, and really does protect against abrasion about 100 times better than denim does. Still, without armour and padding, crashing in draggins is going to hurt.

    Coming off at high speed, i'd rather be in armoured leather.

    That's OK if your intention is to slide or roll. Unfortunately road riding bins tend to be a bit more random and you're probably likely to impact something. In that case there is fuck all difference between wearing Draggins or armour-plated full-grain cow hide.
