who wears Kevlar lined jeans?

[the Ferret]

I was looking at the Brosh site earlier today. Price is right $64 for lined jeans plus $28 for optional kneepads. I found it interesting that they said they had been in business since 1990(?) Yet had zero reviews.

Haven't read the other posts.

I've been happy with my Draggin jeans for many years. Usually buy 34-inch inseam jeans but these are 36 since I bought them for riding. Seems to work well. I like where the kneepads are located. (...On the bike. I don't really care where they are when I'm off the bike.). ;-)

I have a pair of Ugly Bros kevlar woven jeans and would like a pair of Tobacco Motorwear jeans (although the 350 dollar pricetag is abhorrent). For me, I ride the bike to and from work and I have the privilege of being able to wear jeans, but could not wear 'motorcycle' jeans. They need to be dark, plain jeans that you can wear anywhere and nobody would be any the wiser. These two brands I'd consider to work. Also, I've heard Saint CC makes decent discreet jeans.

Thanks. iamheero. I like the look of the UglyBros Echo K, which I think are the ones you have. at $200, they're a lot cheaper than the other one from UglyBros. Do you have an opinion on the Kevlar woven jeans versus the Kevlar lined jeans?

I ended up buying the ones AdventureAF put for sale in the classifieds. Should be here on Friday.

Thanks Nate

While on Draggins site, I noticed that they offer separate Kevlar liners to be worn under any clothing you choose (or on it’s own if you’re trying to make a very bold fashion statement ). The price is a bit deterring, but these are full length and offer more protection than their integrated jeans. Plus the obvious benefit of being able to choose whatever pants you want to wear over them. Only downside I could really see is maybe comfort, full length long johns in the summer time sounds miserable.

Dunno. Worth consideration.

(Btw that price is just for the long johns, although the Kevlar shirt is pictured as well)

Whoa, yea pricey

New member just browsing around, and since this old thread seems to still have some life in it I thought I'd mention the Bull'it SR6 series of jeans. Revzilla has their 2016 line on a pretty hefty discount, although be aware that most of their cuts run tight. However the big selling point for me is that their material meets the new CE standard for "moderate protection" motorcycle gear at a AAA rating, which means it has been tested to the standard at up to 120kph and provides leather or better levels of abrasion resistance. Pretty solid for a product that's on sale for $118, although you need to add armor. The D3O hip & kneepads out of the Klim jeans I have fit the pockets, although the hip armor rides a little low.

Besides the actual CE testing/rating, the other neat thing for them is unlike Kevlar the material they use doesn't degrade with use/creasing.
