Hey fellas, i've been looking around at kevlar jeans for a little while, and it seems all a bit confusing, i have came across these C6 jeans by Kyrano http://www.kyrano-uk.com/acatalog/c6-motorcycle-jeans-mens.html  i'd like to know if anybody has these and what they think of them, and i'd also like some feedback on any other brands, eg ; how well they breath/stop the cold/ sweat/ save your skin etc....please add any opinions but back up with what you think with reason/findings/facts as this thread should be of interest to a fair few..

I'm currently using Propper Lightweight Tactical Trouser in black with thermals under them https://www.epropper.com/products/131/category/50/Men_s_Lightweight_Tactical_Trouser.htm i find them to block all cold weather and being coated in teflon it helps keep them dry, but i guess they give zero protection from the road/accident. i also have a set of these pants in black http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Pants/Tactical-Pants/Taclite-Pro-Pants.html they are much the same as the propper pants above.

Regards Andrew

 

After a lot of looking around and try-ons I ended up with black starriders from the mob in the below link.

Price was right, they're fully lined and comfortable due to being made from stretch material.

Not bad in the cold but not quite as good as thermal jeans, keep the breeze out, not waterproof.

On a hot day it pays to keep moving.

Wear well, still like them and can't say anything about the ultimate test, and more than happy never to find out.

Any reason you don't like Draggin' jeans ?
Unfourtunately I've tested them, and they do work as advertised.

I'd be a bit sus' about using those Kevlar jeans that have stretch Denim though.

i reckon the draggin jeans are fantastic , buy  new  every season .

Rider, I was actually asking the original if he didn't like Draggin's
And I agree , stretch are way more comfortable. But I believe the heavy Denim shell does also help hold the knitted Kevlar together.
You can actually tear the kevlar lining, my analogy would be sandpaper, you can sand metal with it, but you can also tear it in half.
I've hit a spark plug (old Zed inline 4) with my knee, and it tore straight through the Kevlar.
I guess leather is probably the best in the end.

 

No probs, my appologies.

Shift Kevlar jeans are a good pair.Nice and comfy and heavy denim.Haven't tested the kevlar yet and hope to never have to.

i love my Draggins , have 2 pairs ..... tried on other brands but Draggin always felt the best !!! Well worth the investment

I got the star riders and they are comfy and warm

Have a look at NED's

http://nedswear.com.au/

 

I have 2 pair, partical kevlar and full kevlar.

I haven't put them to the test and I don't want to try but both are very very comfortable.

I also have a pair of Draggin Jeans cargos which I hate! they are uncomfortable, the wrong cut and the back pockets are so small I nearly rip them apart getting my wallet out.

Anyway my 2 cents worth.

Cheers Kymbo

 

P.S. Not affilicated with Ned's other than I own and like the 2 pairs of their jeans.

I have a pair of Draggin Jeans which I have had for several years now, at the of purchasing the Draggin Jeans there weren't any other Kevlar jeans on the market. Now i have a pair of Horny Kevlar jeans which I find much more comfortable due to way there their made also the colour hasn't faded like the Dragin Jeans did.

Good to see now that there is much more of a selection with Kevlar Jeans manafacturers.

You have to ask the question why the full lined Draggins are $400 and the StarRiders are $139??

Yep! They are Australian and I just checked my pair - they state "Made in Australia"

 

 Jeezuz, ya dead right, that's fucken worse then, being stitched up by our own breed !

Pricewise, Aussie ones really take the cake compared to the Yankee ones,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what a great deal.

I'm realling liking these http://www.kyrano-uk.com/acatalog/g8-motorcycle-jeans-mens.html they also come with removable armor.... there are just too many to chose from...

i got myself a pair of Dragon jeans, they are the black oiled/waxed ones, they are a slim fit and shrink a little when you wash them, i asked the sales person how good they are in the cold weather and she said they are great, thats a load of crap, oiled/waxed or not they block the wind/cold the same as jeans, so yeah in the colder weather wear your long johns.

Thanks for the testing Jase ! And jim i got mine for peterstevens for $240 odd, maybe i got a discount as i kitted out the miss's with riding gear that same day. i know they can be had cheaper online, but fuck it i was there and for a few extra $$$ i hopfully get to keep my skin, i'd been riding in pants that wouldnt do shit before hand....

 

 I use Draggin Jeans.. the only issue I have even had was with Silverbacks - they are not narrow cut or boot leg and therefore tend to ride up the leg if doing >100clicks...

 

I've got a pair of Hornee jeans, had them for about four years and they're still going strong! Comfory, well lined and are Australian made!!

I have a pair of black Draggins. Probably 5 years old now and only now they are starting to fade. Not too bad I guess.
