I think you will find that in that context the leathers would be better..............

+1 on the Draggin jeans, a lot cooler than me leathers in the summer, and feel like they offer decent protection too.

this is the point, what is "decent", this type of wear will always be a compromise, don't get me wrong I to have a couple of pairs and as said they are better than just plain jeans, however the Kevlar is only friction protection, and the Knee armour stands more than a fare chance of just being pushed out the way, much as the summer "mesh" type jackets are really only impact protection and a compromise on the friction front, whenever I use mine my riding is restricted and riding margins that much greater because of it, It's everyone’s own choice, but don't for one moment believe they offer the same level of protection, they are an addition to protective gear rather than a replacement IMO.

Leathers are restrictive, hot / cold, not that waterproof and expensive, but a well fitting set will give you the best protection you can get, and lets face it don't you want the best ?
