    Just reviewed me first pair of these.... Have to say I really liked them... :upyeah:So much less cluttery (is that a word?) than the textiles.

    I adapted them with an inner pocket for armour...


    Here's the Review...

    I have had a pair of Draggin's for about 3 years and got to say they are brilliant, I even wear these when it gets cold with thermal leggings underneath and it keeps you nice and toasty.

    Haven't really got a bad thing to say about these apart from it would be nice if you could add body amour to the knees.

    Cheers

    Got mine in 2005 (they were only £99 back then). Those that know me on here know I do a lot of miles and to be fair even now the only thing that's worn through is the bottom of the rear left pocket. £11/year - don't think you can go wrong. (However, I've never come off the bike whilst wearing them and don't know anyone that has...)

    Nice review, but with no knee armour thrown in, I don't think I would buy them, I got a pair of red route, with Kevlar at all the key areas along with knee armour for £99, I wear them all the time on the bike and they feel very comfy...
    However, if you can get the model in the review to pop round to mine, to personally demonstrate the jeans to me, I might be tempted to buy a pair! :biggrin:

    I fancy a pair of these, any chance you could do a review on them?

    Pricey, but I like the look of them plus all over Kevlar, and water repellant, sounds good to me :smile:

    That sounds a bargain Martin.

    But if you read the review you'll find there's more to the Draggin product than just Kevlar.... We've looked at cheaper alternatives and usually (to some extent at least) you do get what you pay for...

    OK Joe, We'll contact them and see if we can get a pair.

    If anyone else wants us to try anything else (clothes or accessories) just shout.

    This Halvason stuff from Sweden is meant to be very good (might be worth a look) :smile:

    I have two pair, one of which is new, I had to buy new as one pair had shrunk. My Wife says its me who now has a fat rear, you can always rely on your misses to put you right. So hedge your bets and make sure they are washed at a low temperature

    I can recommend HOOD jeans, British made, I have had mine years, washed many times and still good.

    Yes, the Hood product is pretty good from an abrasion resistance pint of view, but the cut is a bit clumsy leading to a shapeless and baggy garment. Draggin seem to offer something more like a fashion jean, which is a desirable quality given that one of the main selling points is wearing them off the bike, which you can't easily do with textiles or leather.

    Its critical too in getting women to wear them...

    See our review of the Minx Jean.

    I've had some RST jeans for the passed 3 years. Brilliant, wear them all the time on the Bonnie. Only wore them on my Gixxer 1000 if I was just riding locally in town.
