Draggin the brand, all have pockets for armour, I have had three different brands, and prefer the draggin ones, they hav some whacky designs, but i've just ordered a pair of plain black jeans (with free Knox armour) as insurance replacements.

Cheers Mark.

don't think the draggin jeans I got for Miss Ophic have any pockets for armour. We got them from HG so would expect them to be genuine. The armour attaches with velcro.

The camo style ones are pocketless for armour, I was at a store the other day and the add-in knox armour for draggins came with some velcro to sew in. For an extra fiver I just bought some alpinestars reflex armour as it covered alot more of my leg/knee and figured it would shift less in an off if it was strapped to me.

Yeah I looked at this, for the hassle of strapping knee armor on to my leg I might as well put leathers on!

I find that some makes (2 i've tried are performance jeans and the red route) fall apart at either the ankle (I do a lot of walking around in them + bike boots) and around the crotch. So far had 4 pairs in 2 years of riding...going to look at the RST jeans next see if they work!

Ankle is not big issue, you do not slide on your ankles in crash. But, my draggin jeans have all frayed at the crotch.

All my jeans, kevlar or not, fray at the crotch. It's just down to the way you walk and how fat/muscular your inner thighs are.
