MRT. I am looking at those draggn jeans. I always ride in jeans. Mainly because I haven't found anice set of leathers. Also due to money. Yea I ahve seen some nasty crashes as well, and it should make me the wiser. But those draggn jeans do look pretty good. I wonder if anyone has them if they like them and would reccomend them

Those "Draggin Jeans" look sweet and they seem to protect fairly well..........BUT..........$179 BUCKS??!?!

I'll buy me a set of leather pants with pucks before I pay $179 bucks for a pair of those!

they aren't too great...i haven't tested them personally, but one of my good buddies 12'd a wheelie and bailed off the rear going about 30 in those jeans...jeans made it out ok, but he didn't slide on them...he did some whicked cartwheeling action...the icon jacked got worked...his boots got worked but the jeans never touched...again thanks to the kartwheel type of falling. he broke his wrist....and YES HE WAS ON A GIXXER...i wanted to race up and save his bike...but i had to hold back traffic so he didn't get run over...yes...very squidly move...

i say if you have to do jeans, wear some armor underneath in the vitals spots...would be better than just jeans alone or the bling bling riding jeans.
