    Draggin Jeans

    Hey people, would like to get a pair of draggin jeans for those short trips, especially with summer coming up. Are there any prefered retailers? Anyone know where I can get the best deal. The only place ive actually looked at them was motomail...

    Secondly does anyone own a pair of the draggin dry's? Worth it?
    Ill probably just get the classic style ones.

    Ive heard from someone who's bailed in them and they held together really well apparently, they just dont stop impact injuries of course.

    Eggzakery! & most accidents happen on short trips so that is when you should be most prepared. Ankles & knees are a bitch to heal.

    Thats the problem with jeans, if i wear em i most of the time wear my body armour for my mtb bike underneath, full knee & shin gaurds, binned it heaps on the push bike at speed and they work bloody well.

    I've got 'em for sale. Do you a good deal.

    Bloody brilliant invention, however, they don't offer a hell of a lot of impact protection.

    Getting your knee down in jeans is pretty cool though.

    Oh yes! They didn't chafe or tear, but they can't protect you from 225kg of Kawasaki falling on top of you...

    Ill go tyre kick (or is that pant poking?) somewhere and find out what size I am, then get hold of you.

    If you are a non-standard size (i.e. large), watch out for "retailers" who will insist that you pay for garments they order in for you whether or not they fit. Needless to say, such "retailer" doesn't get my business any more...

    Staying on the bike in an upright position is the best solution...

    Some places do offer added armor to their Draggin Jeans.

    I wear Draggin Jeans all the time, so I've been thinking about getting a second pair. Only problem is they are not cheap. Colemans do them for $239. www.dragginjeans.com do them for $79US ($120NZ), but I would need to ring them for shipping and they only accept money orders.

    Maybe they are cheaper because they are the American made brand as opposed to the Oz made ones.

    I would hope the quality is the same.
