Default Riding Jeans

What types of jeans do you guys prefer to ride in. I usually just ride in Old navy Jeans, but saw some that are designed for riding. Anylne use these types of jeans and if so, which are prefered for function, style and cost?

I got some Icon Hooligan pants. They have stretch material in the crotch and are cut higher in the back so they don't fall down. They fit nice and are comfortable too.

Anyothers. how about the sizes. I usually wear 36w 34l. Are they pretty much on or usually run small?

The kevlar knee and butt in something like Draggin jeansis better than regular denim for keeping your skin from getting scraped off, but personally I wouldn't use them without wearing hip pads and knee pads underneath. I like walking without a limp, and don't really want a shattered patella.

I wear The Icon Recon pants. The sizing is true. Meaning that if you wear, in my case, a 38W 32L in regular jeans I would get the same in the Icon jeans. Cost is about 80.00 a pair as opposed to 100.00 a pair for draggin jeans. On long trips I DO NOT wear these.I wear leathers.

I ride regularjeans, not riding specific, but always use my knee and hip/thigh pads underneath.

I assume that the ICON denim pants eliminate the bunching behind the knee which is occassionally annoying,
and as the post above says, they are a bit longer in the back. I don't have any, but they are on the list.
