Draggin Jeans and the like.

I have 2 pairs of Icon jeans, aramid reinforced, love them and wear them a lot really heavy weight denim for impact I wear knox shorts and i have alpinestars motocross knee/shin guards, an extra 40 squid over the jeans (which are pricey too) but I love them

I'm getting some as soon as the funds allow definitely worth the pennies!

yeah he wears em so much they've worn through at the knees, keep telling him I'm going to sew beer towels on them to patch em up!
I think we should confiscate them, so he has to get some more

so why did the wimp wear textiles for the hardy reccy while i wore my recsha's ( i know its spelt wrong)
they are comfy as, but as stated impact would be the problem in an off
ps i love mine

ive come off at low speed in draggin jeans and not a mark on them or me. i have the knee pads that velcro into them though, so that offers some impact resistance. i've also come off in levi 512s at slow speed, and that required 4 injections and 5 stitches in my knee, ouch.

draggin jeans - worth every penny

Miss Ophic rides in them. They have the optional velcro knee armour fitted. This comes out easily, which is good cos the pads are huge. She only wears these because she cannot find textile trousers which fit. The knee pad pockets are usually somewhere near her ankles.

Apparently you can also get hip armour but at this point they look less like normal jeans and more like mr blobby, so you might as well just wear textiles.

He doesn't have textiles lol (well trousers anyway), probably his waterproofs on top of his leathers...? If it's YC you're calling the wimp...at your peril

Got red route ones, just chuck my normal jeans under them and undress at college..
Have to take them off, as they always filthy from working with them on..

Get a few looks when i do wear them and my boots around college hah

I wear them all year round, the black cargo version.

I use them too in the summer, I also purchased some extra velcro knee protectors and a brilliant pair of cheap motocross shorts with all the armour in. Does the trick and I feel safe in them.

Hood jeans.... better then the Draggin jeans I had.
