Biker denim jeans
Follow on from a thread a couple of days ago, I dug out the pair of VOTO kevlar jeans my wife got me last year, I've never worn them, but they look to be well made, double stitched and rivited, big panels of kevlar material inside and Knox armour in knee pockets.
Just wondering if anyone on here had crashed in this sort of garment and how they stood up to it ? Cheers Mark.

Re: Biker denim jeans
Slow speed off with me ending up taking the impact on my left leg/hip.
No problems, wouldnt know I did it looking at the jeans - wish they had hip armour pockets - will see about fitting. These were Draggin ones - probably same as yours tbh David |

Re: Biker denim jeans
Don't know why, but I guess I'm biased, but if I'm going for a proper ride I prefer my leathers, Oh I'm not saintly and have ridden in normal jeans on the odd occasion, but never for any distance at all.
Cheers Mark.

40 mph off wearing Hood jeans. Did there job though some of the denim almost wore through. Have Draggin jeans gargo pants now which are both lighter and a much better fit

http://www.votomoto.co.uk/storefront...px?sfid=120659 and as I've said, more than happy with the quality, all double stiched and loads of internal kevlar fabric, also pockets with good knox armour on the knees. Look up both HOOD and DRAGGIN jeans as well they are the popular ones. Cheers Mark.
