    Hi all,

    Thought I'd post a review of these jeans. The pants in question are the Draggin C-Evo relaxed fit Kevalr jeans. I got them from a friend of a friend brand new for $140 which was pretty good as they are about $300 in the shops.

    The Upside. These are well made and seem durable. The reason I wanted these particular jeans was because

    1. The Kevlar is from top to bottom, not just in the high risk area.

    2. They have an elasic at the base so they can go under your boot and won't ride up in wind/crash

    3. They have a breathable liner from top to toe so it feels nice on your skin and you dont get Kevlar rash

    3. As the kevlar is all over and then lined, they are so warm. Even in freezing cold my legs were more than comfortable

    The Downside:

    I have a sneaking suspition my nads will catch fire come summer

    Due to denim/kevlar/liner construction they are quite bulky. It feels you have 2 pants on.

    While the fit is great the dark blue denim looks a bit "KMart".

    When I tried on some of the other jeans in the shops the Kevlar fely rough against my skin and these were a good feel. Try them on, they feel great. I give them a big thumbs up! Hope this helps someone out there.

    Hey Max,

    I was about to pull the trigger on a another set of Draggins as my current black pair are getting a bit ratty - but instead I went with the Kyrano G8 with D30. They should be here in a week or so, and will be interesting to see how they rate.

    One thing though - I don't ride in normal jeans.

    I bought a couple of pairs from Ghostrider Customs in the US. Good price ($100 pair) from memory. You measure your most comfortable pair of jeans and they have them made the same. VERY comfortable...full kevlar lining.
    Only downside....their customer service sucks arse!

    So my flash new Hood Kyrano jeans turned up today - the ones with the D30 in them, and they are bloody good! Kevlar all the way through and the D30 gives a bit of impact protection.

    Even with the padding in, they are super comfy. I wouldn't know they padding was in. :)

    Happy!
