Keprotec Triumph Jeans

[All]

Anyone have any experience with Keprotec lined clothing? I'm considering buying some Triumph jeans instead of Draggin ones, and they're lined with "Keprotec" (as opposed to Draggin's 100% kevlar). I've heard plenty of good things about Draggin clothing; I'm just wondering if this Keprotec stuff is up to the same level.

I've read that keprotech, aramid and kevlar are pretty much the same thing - just registered brand names.

I understand Keprotec is a mix of Cordura, Dynafil TS-70, Kevlar, and polyurethane.

Keprotec is used in some good brands; Held gloves for instance. I have a pair right beside me and they have the Keprotec label but I'm buggered if I can see which part might be Keprotec...

A quick wikipedia search suggests that...
Aramid relates to a whole family of synthetic fibers.
Kevlar is a specific type/brand of a Para-Aramid
and Keprotec is presumabley just another variant

Good ol' Wikipedia.

slightly off subject but what are draggin jeans like to wear? ie are they stiff? or do they feel like ordinary jeans, living in the back and beyond as i do i don't get near a bike shop that often so are can't check them out but am thinking of getting some. of course it will be an internet purchase, any suggestions?..

I love them. The only difference between them and normal jeans is that the bits lined with Kevlar are a bit thicker (but not stiff at all).

Who sells it? I'm not really too keen on buying clothes online and not trying them on.

I just bought some Shift jeans off trademe...the waist size was right, I asked about the leg length (which was good enough) and they turned out sweet.

They seem to have a bit less Kevlar in them than the draggins...just the knees and arse, but they were quite a bit cheaper, and looked nicer colour/style wise.

They're no better than normal jeans in my experience.

im surprised he hasnt popped along to this thread already, i will be definately be buying his gear, and he has a 100% return policy, try your gear on and if it dnt fit just send it back for another size, you should be able to PM him and get the guff on his jeans,due to his rep i would expect the jeans to be good.
