Draggin Jeans (Red-Route)

[dizzyblonde]

Don't worry too much about them Paws, myself, Yc and Matt practically live in ours!
YC has done the road test..lol...literally
Matts mate has too, they don't tear or anything!
I'm quite comfy in mine in summer, even went to Bordeaux and back in mine last year, were perfect for the heat,

Glad to hear it Dizzyblonde that you went to Bordeaux (and back) in them as I'm off to france on MOnday going to the centre of france, somewhere around Poitiers, a few campsites there and might go to Bordeaux as well! And I was thinking of going in my kevlar jeans - I have the Elite from Giali with hip armour. My leathers are much hotter than my kevlar jeans but then I have the combat version which I suppose are a bit more airy altho the material is v thick.. When standing still at traffic light or riding slowly and sun beating down on my legs they are as hot as my leathers, as soon as I start riding they are cooler. Also can't get on with the tank v well with leather trousers , they stop me from moving where I want/need to be (stuck to the tank). Apparently I'm used to moving my legs a bit (maybe the result of riding a harley for two years).

If hood would have had a similar design I would have maybe gone for them as I have a few friends who like them.

Well, I went to GW today at lunchtime and tried on a pair of the RED Route Jeans, seemed well made and fitted OK. I got the ones without the padding as the ones with looked as though they were worn by Dexys Midnight runners, i.e. 80's throwbacks!

Will let you know how I get on when wearing them on the bike.

That is after I have taken them back and changed them for a pair that will fit, looks as though I picked up a different pair than what I originally tried on and with the best will in the world a pair of 34 short will not do!!

Agreed, I bought some chino's from Robinson's and they were/are just a little too snug, baggy everywhere else except the waist. I don't really wear them anymore, too tight to sit down at work all day in.

ive got a pair of draggin jeans really comfy and airy good for going round town the kevlar is nice and thick on them some of the others just look like theyve farted kevlar on it.

Sound good and I might get some when I have some cash burning a hole but I'd only wear them for short blasts or under my leathers/textile gear.

you won't feel the need to wear em under leathers or textiles i can assure you. Besides, they're too thick to even bother

I seem to live in mine now too, going to work in them most days and have turned up at a few Guildford, Soho and Selkent meets in them. Infact I use them more then I do my leathers now.
I need to pull my finger out though and fit some armour to them as I have that 'rubber' stuff Hein Gericke do.

Another thumbs up for the Hood jeans - my Concept Six set arrived this week - they're a bit snug from the knee down, but that's mainly to do with my boots (A* SMX4), and as someone else mentioned, their customer services is spot on.
