Default draggin jeans

Anyone got a pair? anyone fallen off with them on?

had some for two days as my leathers are being altered...rode bout 200 miles in them and they feel fairly comfortable, have kevlar in knees bum and hips...and dont look half bad either.

Still missing my leathers...wouldnt 'want' to ride in anything else. Roll on weekend when i pick them up with a tighter bum

yes and yes...

slid the seam happily along the road with my DRZ on top of my right leg, jeans survived with some slight scuffing, more importantly the material held up just fine, although it was just a low speed incident it was enough to grind a good lump from the toe of my boot. downside of having no knee pad is getting a whack there if you hit the road

bought them initially as something cooler for summer, but they're actually warmer than my vented leathers, plus you can't grip the tank as well as leathers. on the plus side they look very normal compared to leathers and they are far comfier off the bike...

Ah good to know! just what i wanted to hear.
Apparently you can put pads in them, but theres no pockets for them, they 'stick' like velcro on the kevlar covering, seems a little hassle to me.

Yeah, brand new jeans, downhill, bump, nethers straight into tank. Ouch.

I do like the fact they look more sociable, go to town and not get looked at like

Ahh not seen this before, I like
Will feel a bit better and less guilty wearing these then, still choose leathers over them but they look as good as casual riding trousers get
