Draggin drys

Anybody got any?
How waterproof are they, are they warm?
Will they give me sweaty nuts sat in lectures?

Chris

Yep, not very, off the bike yep, and yep.

Might as well get a normal set and waterproofs then...

check out the hood stuff before you decide on draggin.

triumph also make a nice range of motorcycle protective denim that look pretty neat,

weird, I was just going to start a thread and thought I'd better search, hehe

anyone got any more to say about them?

i got some redroute from the rocket centre in blackburn and there warm while riding but not waterproof at all,cost me £110 IIRC

are jeans meant to be for town use? ie slower speeds or are they any good if you was to dismount the bike at a faster speed?

yC,would it not be cheaper to get cheap single layer textiles a size bigger and wear your everyday jeans under them. Probably warm,waterproof and protection.

The kevlar jeans themselves as supposed to be quite good, even at speed. But I only wear mine round town/short trips/commuting. I would prefer it if they had a zip to attach to a jacket to stop it riding up in an off - that's the main reason I wouldn't trust them at great speed (and lack of armour)

I have two pairs, one was a direct replacement for an old set of draggins, but they have changed design and now don't have pockets for armour ( just velcro backed armour instead) the other set are "Bulletproof" (and before anyone asks, no there aren't), however they do have the armour pockets and the kevlar is like a pair of extended shorts inside rather than just the patches, neither claim to be waterproof, whilest it would be possible to waterproof them (tent spray works well), a side effect is it does tend to transmit the cold a little.
