Draggin Jeans

**Shorts** · 19th June 2007, 12:08

My Draggins came with knee pads, a' gratis (possibly from the delay in shipping). At any rate, the jeans are great, as other said, they are warm. But that is really good when it's chilly out. I don't wear the kneepads when I ride (though I should!), they run the knee cap a little raw spot.

Sure, not as good as leather I suppose, but better than not.

I was thinking of going with the suggestion of geting motorX knee, shin and hip potection and then Jeans.

Good, Bad Dumb!

All the gear all the time, are you looking forward to binning in jeans?
i would be.
lets hope your mrs digs scars, apparently chicks do, but what you i know

And Draggins don't count as gear?

any advice on if they stretch..... the 12's hanging off at the waist and 10's a bit snug with thermals underneath and definately need thermals right now!!!

Well, my draggin's stopped me from a bad case of gravel rash on Friday night! They are a bit torn up and muddy, but they worked a treat - I didn't have the knee armour in them, but if I did I reckon I wouldn't have a minor graze on my right knee! I'll be retiring them and getting a new pair! W00t!

Owned both Draggin's and Shift jeans, binned in both, Draggin's work well, Shift- not so well.
Have the armour in the draggin's, love it, comfy and never had a problem with them moving.
Sarahtvet, all jeans stretch a little, just up to you to decide if that will be enough, could also try some oilskin overpants, really warm with Draggin's.

draggon jeans are made of the one of the highest grades of denim...
and they have kevlar in all the most common slidey places.

i "tested" them.
and they worked!
(only at about 120 tho)

They are very stylie both in the jeans and cargo/combat pants and both sport Kevlar liners in the places you need them (hips, knees etc).

At $280 for the jeans and $250 for the combat pants they aint exactly cheap but a lot cheaper than a skin graph..

Your thoughts would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks

I was wearing draggin camo when I had my accident. They protected me sweet, so much so that I brought another pair for when I'm misbehaving my the wheelchair. In my opinion, get em Gazza.

I suppose Draggin jeans might be good for protecting wheelchair-bound paraplegics, or preventing carpet burns, but they are FUCK ALL use for anything else.... don't rely on protection from them in an m/c crash

You're talking out your arse mate, you haven't done any research have ya.
No, in tests they perform better than textile / cordura pants, but score just below leather because they don't have all-over cover - the kevlar is only in the main abrasion areas.

Oh really??? Take a look at my wife's knee sometime...there is no fucken kneecap there now, thanks to the non-abrasive resistance properties of Draggin jeans. I've got a bit more first hand knowledge about them than you have, sonny

Do some research and don't just rely on one case.

Hey, look what I found in my pocket
