    Draggins are just really well known, so are hornee now. RST is known by some - but I didn't think they were that much ($30ish?) cheaper than the others, depending on the styles. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Have you had a look at "Bikers gear" in Victoria/Philip Island. they have some pretty good ones, I am using them at the moment, and no complaints here. I have the cargo style jeans myself.

    I thought (could be wrong) Bikers Gear had some kind of try em on and return if they don't fit policy?

    Yep....I bought some Bikers Gear kevlars a couple of years ago now and they are still perfect. Even had a small crash while wearing them and not a scratch on me knees where i landed - mind you i was limping for a week.

    The stupid high cost of Draggin Jeans means that i cannot support them...not when Bikers Gear costs $99.

    I had several pairs of drag gins then got a pair of blue jeans from bikers gear australia

    the denim is much thicker and heavy dusty and they are still blue after 40,000km (Draggins fade so quickly)

    I was at Bikers Gear yesterday, Their store is located at 1033 Burwood Hwy Ferntree Gully. They got some good gear there and their prices seemed reasonable.

    Hi Davutch,

    If you contact Stretch on this forum he could put you onto the people he bought his from. I can't remember the brand but they are fully lined and about half the price of Dragons. He recently rode tested them by crashing on to the road at speed. His legs came out without a scratch and pants undamaged. If you live in the south east you may know him he rides a sporty with a skull on the side of the tank. 

    Dutchy.

    Last year I bought cheap and nasty pair from Aldi, torque jeans or something like that, now I always ride with them. But I have no other choice as they are my only Kevlar jeans.

    I'm so glad they have a nice outlook and that the blue shade is too good, it matters!

    "Bull it" jeans have the best wear quality ratio and is ISO. Cheaper than dragon. + much better.

    If you're near an AMX store, they have kevlars for 30% off until Australia day. Bought a pair of neo jeans for $91 at the Melbourne East Keilor shop

    Find the draggin's comfy with the silk lining, but it also makes them too thick and hot - especially the recent Hades that was Melbourne...
    Picked up a pair of black waterproof Kevlar ones from bikers gear - comfy, much thinner, and cooler. Haven't tested them in the wet yet...
