I take it you've never crashed in regular jeans before? Yes, they are worth buying (preferably the ones with armored panels sewn in) Leathers are even better (but unbearable during the summer months). I have a pair of textile riding pants for the summer, leather for the cooler months.

I wear textile protected pants, but lately I've also been checking out the Defenders from www.gusset.com
Anyone experience this product?
Any other riders jeans out there worth mentioning?

RE: riding jeans
Hi Sean,
That was my next thought. I've seen riding jeans with reinforced kevlar, but not with padding. Are there pads out there that mate up well with my riding boots (Sidi)? The knee pads I've seen adverstised always seem to combine with shin protectors too, which would interfere with the shin protector on the Sidis (by the looks of it).
