The question maybe have asked before but here it is again.

I was thinking of buying some Kevlar Jeans.

Are they worth the extra money ?

where is the best value for money deal ?

Are  the cheaper ones that are online only as godd as Dragin ect ?

I would appreciate any feedback..Cheers

I wear Draggin jeans for the Kevlar protection. They are a bit hotter in summer but I like the extra protection from the Kevlar. Worth the extra bucks if you happen to become unstuck. (Better safe than sorry).

I have a pair of draggin's, bought them at the Harley stealer in dandenong I think I paid well over $200, should have shopped around & bought them online from draggin where I think they may be about $140, and if they are Oz made then they are the ones to buy. Yeah a bit hot in the summer but if they do what they are supposed to do then not as hot as sliding on tarmac. It would be hard to walk with no arse muscles left. Mine fit me good, I wore them all 8,000 kms to Perth & back & they were comfortable all the way. My sister used to work in the rag trade recond the fit & quality was real good.  

I got those prices wrong, here is draggin jeans http://dragginjeans.net/index

Get the only 100% Aussie made Dragin Jeans mate. Julie had them on when she went for her 80kmph slide down the road, and she has no gravel rash at all. Wore the outside off, but the Kevlar stayed intact. We now have two pair each.

Bought some from AMX Motorcycle Gear.....cost me $99

Are they any good? No idea and hope I never have to find out

Draggin claim to use better than military grade Kevlar.
The trick with them is to keep them as clean as you can, as washing them deteriates the Kevlar {apperntly}..dirty bikers..lol
I have a few pairs. The first pair I bought I washed after every use, and it didn't take long for them to go very thin and light.
Now I only wash them when i have too. And only buy black as they never look dirty.
I like em, wear em & don't ride without em.
"Give em a crack"

have a look at kazz mazz in wa. they do a kevlar lined denim with removable thermal lining, jacket and jeans.
Better than draggin jeans? dunno, but you get denim with kevlar protection and thermal liner for about $125

 Draggin also sell for about $75 soft knee guards that you wear under your draggin jeans. 

I have a pair of black Starider jeans, $119 www.starider.com.au they fit very well. Also have a pair of Shift, they are very hard, not comforable at all.

have had some mates buy"other"brands of kevlar jeans,after a year or so the stitching is coming apart from washing them once a week,but me mate with draggins has had his for over three years and washes them weekly and are in good nick,i went with black draggins and they look like normal jeans cause you cant see the stitching that holds the kevlar
my 2 cents

Thanks for all the feedback guys

I've tested Draggin's a few too many times.

They don't stop your bones braking, but they do help prevent gravel rash, which can actually be worse than broken bones.

I bought mine on a site call Zen Motorcycle Gears

you can check out their catalog of Kevlar Jeans here ->http://www.zenmotorcyclegear.com.au/textile-pants/kevlar-pants/

I got a pair from http://www.finnmoto.com.au/ about a year ago. Looks like the price has gone up a little bit since I got mine but they're great quality and good cut. As someone else said, they're a bit warm in summer but I wear them in winter for a bit of protection and a bit of warmth.

So I just took delivery of a set of Kyrano G8 Jeans from the UK, and love them. Not only Kevlar lined from top to bottom but have D30 in them. If you don't know what D30 is - Stunt men use it.

Honestly - you would not the armour is in! They are really comfy. A bit heavier the Draggins, but at about the same price, I reckon they are better.

Bought a pair of Draggin's off the new earlier in the year for $180. Comfortable and they look like normal jeans

I watched M13's review on these http://www.rhok.com.au/jeans.htm worth a look i think.

 

 Tough 14 ounce Denim Indigo Blue in colour (also available in black)

Triple Stitching throughout

Large One piece Kevlar protection ( not the small patchwork quilt type made from off cuts )

We use270gsm knitted DuPont kevlar. Compare this to our competitors and you will be surprised.

YKK Zippers

High Strength Rivets and Button

Removable CE approved hard shell knee and hip armor. The knee armor is removable from outside  the jeans     ( there is no need to drop your pants to remove the knee armor anymore) using hidden armor pockets and zips –

$165 no bad.

They look pretty good mate!!

One thing I will say about the Kyrano - The armour moulds to your body. It really doesn't feel like it's in there!! I sit here at 11pm and have been in these jeans since I left the house at 9am - Still with all the armour in, and still comfy.

If it were the stiff hard stuff, I don't think I could cope. I ripped them out of my Dry Rider jacket 5 minutes after I put it on!! LOL!!

Still - They are a good price for Kevlar jeans!!

Hi,

Did you buy them direct from the Kryanno main site or an ebay vendor?

They look pretty good and I think having the armour is exceptional. At the moment I always ride in full leathers as once on the freeways/hwys you have  plenty of air around you its not hot in them.

But would like some jeans for when going up to the shops etc.

Thanks

I have had a pair of Draggin Jeans for years now and they have worn exceptionally well.  I also have a pair of cheaper Bikers Gear Kevlar jeans and whilst they've worn fairly well they aren't going to outlast the Draggins; the Draggins have a bit more Kevlar in them too but then the Draggins cost me twice what the Bikers Gear ones did so they should last longer.

Are the Draggins better? I think so.
Are they worth twice as much? I doubt it.
