Default Draggin Jeans (Red-Route)

I am looking at geting some Draggin type jeans and these are sold in my local GW in the City, but wondered if anyone has any first hand experience with this particular make?

Cheers

I've had draggin jeans before and I now own Hood jeans, and I will say the hood jeans are miles better. But I have no idea what this 'version' is like, though they lack the kevlar levels of draggin and hood jeans, which win over all.

Hood jeans front -



Hood jeans rear -



As you can see they can be fitted with armour, but just go look at there site and you will see... Hood Jeans

I was looking at them as well as they came up when I googled but am a bit worried about the fit as I have rather large legs and straight cut jeans will not pass my thighs!!

I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.

Cheers

I've got some Red Routes. I like them, they seem well made to me. Go and try some on. I got mine from J and S, haggled them down and get some hip armour thrown in too.

Well at the end of the day it is your choice, always found the people at Hood helpful as they can adjust them for you.

i got a pair of hood and a pair of draggin off ebay

the plan was to keep the best and sell the others, so after trying them both on, i kept the hood

i think draggan look better, but the hood seem better quality, and fitted better

with draggen you may need a size bigger

Yep, the is more selection with the Draggin jeans, but I found the a little lacking compared to the Hood jeans.

I have Hood jeans, but i needed to get 1 size up on the waist.....or it could be the pies....not sure which

wor lass has issues with her hood's going over the top of her alpinestar boots, although they were 'boot' cut

Yep, but those Alpinestars are huge boots, I've never had a problem with my Sidi's.
