    bought a pair for $100. at the gold coast bike (show special) only, done about 600km in them . Very comfy, I guess the real test is if they hold up if i ever come off. these have yellow kevlar all the way through and if your a gay fuck ya might be able to turn them inside out so they look pretty. I had a pair of dragon jeans prior to this brand and i thought they were great although they did iratate a bit where the kevlar was over a long ride---cheers Grim

    Any testing details on these? i have seen some "cheaper" jeans with very thin amounts of kevlar in them which can lead you into a false sense of security......Be careful guys and check out the specs.

    Jeans turned up today, yep there great the black denium looking very heavy duty but soft and kevlar is all the way through.

    Unlike the thin Denuim of the Dragons and patchie kevlar and $100 cheaper.

    Very happy, will see how the ware test goes.

    What sizing are they? By that I mean if I take a 40 in a Levi's is it the same in the star rider or I do I need a size bigger or smaller?

    Have a couple of pairs of the stretch good fit look good full protection, only gripe is with the stressed blue they seem a little slippy on the bike i seem to move around . the other pair classic blus in stretch all fine. but the material seems diff with the denim between the 2.

    Warning : the jeans are good but the pockets are crap.

    First day I wear then the pockets failed (holes)

    Its a real piss off, made from very thin clothe

    Emailed the guy no reply

    I bought a pair and they were delivered very quickly. I havent had a problem with the pockets but again they are only new.
    They are the same fit as a normal Jean ie If you take a 40 then you buy a 40 in the Star riders. The black stretch is apparently a little more generous in fit.
    Quality seems very good for the price (I paid $129 plus postage)
    Comfort level is great. Very soft and lots of ball room etc. The length of the legs is really long BUT once seated and with your boots on they appear to be the right length.
    Over all I am happy with the Jeans.

    Customer Service is another area I wish to talk about. On the site they offer for an extra $20 a pair of short riding boots as a bonus if you purchase a pair of jeans. Saving around $100.
    All you have to do is leave a note when buying the jeans and they will invoice you separately for them. No invoice. I contacted them Oh yes we got that but we don't have that size boot. Where out of them. I replied have you got this size then? Nope sorry out of them too. We only have smaller sizes left. Ok then I asked. What sizes as I might get a pair for the wife. That's when the emails stopped. That to me says I don't want to sell you ANY boots for that price. To me that's false advertising and piss poor customer service. I haven't pressed the point with them but that to me is a cop out. I know the argument will be "We only have limited supplies" etc but as of today they still advertise it and there is no mention of limited supplies or quantities.

    I am happy with the jeans but not the customer service for what was mentioned.

    I bought 2 pair for $200, a black pair for me, and blue for the boss - arrived in 2 days! Very happy with them too.

    A year ago I bought a pair of cargo pants, and at the time the short boots were free and no worries with them supplying them at a all.

    I would highly recommended their Kevlar products
