Does anyone have them? Been thinking of getting a pair, i have some waterproof trousers at the moment, i don't ride a sports bike, its the kevlar actually any good?

Do they offer the same protection as normal bike trousers? (non leather)

If there draggin, you need to pull them up and use a belt 

[tunnie]

not that kind of dragging, interesting test methods, but not sure if i wanna trust them  :-/

Yeah tunnie ,they're ideal for you on your bike . with a decent jacket and a good pair of boots you will be protected , and dont forget to wear a pair of glove's .It's amazing how many berks you see with all the gear and no gloves,human nature to put hands down when you fall .

Cheers, yeah i got a Dainese D-dry jacket, and some black leather boots.

One thing i do have a problem with is my arms sticking to the jacket, i wear a t-shirt underneath, but my arms sweat a bit, and its hard to get my arms out of the jacket.

Is it worth investing in a long sleeve t-shirt type thing? Maybe something runners use  :-/

Bought these because I can't be bothered to get into the full leather kit every ride but I do want some protection that's better than ordinary jeans. Also the black Draggin jeans can be worn in the office so no need to change when I get to work.

The jeans don't offer any impact protection, only abrasion (the cargo pants have pockets for soft armour, I think). I don't know how much protection they offer as I haven't crashed (and hope not to, so may never know how effective they are).

On real hot days I wear Draggins (over shorts), a Heine Gericke mesh jacket, walking boots and gloves. Easy to take off the Draggins and carry them in your backpack.

I recently read that you need protection from your feet upwards. So feet first, then legs, then torso and obviously head. Not what I would expect, but apparently ankle injuries are very common. (Just remembered that Ted Simon in his recent book described getting trapped by his ankle when he fell off on a bad road).

Yep, see them pull up at the shop every day.
