I got mine from the draggin jeans website. I know I'm a 34" waist, so just went with that, and trust me, I have humongous thighs and a fat ass relative to the rest of my body!

http://www.dragginjeans.net/

They are from Australia. Took almost two weeks to arrive. I wasn't sure if any of the others were reliable enough. These sure did the job. Just over £100 inc the free knee knox armour you get with them.

Defo worth the price, seeing as my thighs skin is still in one piece and unscathed. Not gona think twice about forking aout another £100 for another pair once I start riding, although this time I'm gona get a zip stitch so I can zip the jeans with the jacket to avoid the belly road rash I suffered this time around!

ohh right ok think im going to try and find some to try on first as £100 is a lot and i realy am usless at geting jeans that fit

and a zip sounds like a grand idea

trust me mate, £100 to a uni student like me is sh*it loads too. Now after the accident, in hindsight, its peanuts!

Got no beef with forking out the 'peanuts' again, even tho it's not so peanuts, lol!

Quite a few places sell them. If there's an Infinity near you try them. Otherwise a few main dealers sell them too.

HG too although from memory they're £90 a pair with no armour.

For goodness sake wear something more than jeans! I have a nasty mark on my knee from my off, from where my textiles and armour got worn through by sliding along the road and all that was left was my jeans underneath which provided maybe 0.00002 seconds protection before tearing. With just jeans you could have gone to see my leg at a Tesco near you, 'extra lean minced meat'.

Oh and never ride in jeans with holes already in the knees. I did that as a daft teenager. I still have the scar.
I think I still have the jeans too

There are quite a few companies out there that do the Kevlar stuff. Red Route are another one, and they are stocked at loads of bike shops. I also have a pair by a firm from Bristol called HARD ASS - they are a bit more substantial than the draggin jeans with double layer kevlar in some places. I believe Hood jeans are another UK firm who make bike jeans too, although I've never tried their stuff. red route stuff starts at about £80, plus £15 for knee armor if you want that too.

On a quick sidenote, I'm looking at some R&G crash bungs for my bike. Comes up to a whoppin £100. Not a lot if you consider the damage it can save, but is there any way of getting these a bit cheaper.

Perhaps places that sell R&G bungs but not quite at the prices given on the official website?

cheers philbut, will have a good look, should be geting £60 (£20 a hour) for fixing a lap top for some one at my dads work so can put that towards some good jeans

and thulfi r&g's are hard to find cheeper than there quated price on there site, i got mine off of some one on hear you may want to get ure self on a er6 forum and see if you can pick up some used one's and i dont meen used as in scraped down the road
