    I did 200kms on Monday in Draggin jeans. On the open road I wear some MX kneepads underneath. I dont really rate the armour or the pockets int he ones I have seen. too much scope for movement.

I was the laugh of the saferoad session today walking around with my ridding pants down when not ridding letting my leggings dry out. lol

    has this ever happened to anyone else?

    should I just ditch the pants as a design flaw?
    Naa .. I haven't walked around with my pants down to let my underpants dry out since before I started school more than 50 years ago ..

    Get some leather pants, the leather breaths so even though it is hot it doesn't get that bad, lifestyle imports or 1tonne have cheapish ones. Jeans are fine until you need them to do more than just protect your modesty.

    really? my leathers are very tight, very heavy, armoured and black. Notionally they do breathe, sure, but practically they are just as hot

    I got my pair of dragon jeans for $210 im pretty sure, from red Barron in Auckland.. they were on sale though so just got to keep an eye out. From what I read there pretty similar to Teknic and other brands but apparently they use a more resistive kevlar? could be wrong
