i dont have enough money to buy a complete wardrobe of armored out gear right now.. so i was curious is there any such thing as long john type kevlar protection for wearing under your jeans/hoodies? i hear jeans will melt to your legs and arent a whole let better of than just wearing shorts. any help greatly appresciated

 

I have never had a problem with jeans, when i went down at about 90 they saved my a$$!

 

damn you got lucky!

 

Just don't ride drunk

 

I was just thinkin about that and Im thinking of rockin some shin guard or something like that...not sure haven't researched it much.

 

60 mph didn't go through my jeans, I think they do good, but situation like the road was damp(partial reason to going down) and smoother surface helped me out.

 

i looped it on the freeway around 80 and only got one little quarter size hole in the pocket my wallet was in. i would roll with the jeans!!!!!

 

yea thanks swerve i already learned that the hard way and im still picking pieces of ashpalt out of my hand you got to admit its a blast though! on a side note did any of you hear about dennis rodman wrecking his R1 on the vegas strip trying to do a wheelie? he got a DWI or DUI or RWI or whatever they call it out west.

 

hey e-mail me and we can talk,rlk6494 i got some stuff for ya

 

jeans work fine for me too. i have crashed a few times in them at 50+
i will have a line of jeans out in about amonth with some armor style pads in them.
they will look tight like jnco's style, a lil baggy ect
they will be off tha chain and def set a standard..i finish talking to my manuacturer this week and will take some pre-orders shortly after...any questions holla....

 

i wear a dainese body suit under my clothes. its low profile and gives you plenty of protection. it goes for $300 but nock offs are around $150. it looks super pimp too when your doing highway standups and your shirt lifts up. the turtle shell hangs out. can you say gansta

 

I got armoured everything but pants, I've been checking out the draggin jeans, but don't want to part with $100 for a pair just yet. ($100 can buy a lot of e-bay crap at this point) Let me know what sort of retail price you are going to come up with.

I can give my daughter her rollerblade knee pads back then.

 

ive gone down in jeans and got my *** torn up.

 

jeans work sometimes.....ironicaly they didn't for me. Went down around 80-90, my jeans ripped right through the knees. Got some nice roadrash on both knee's. (GAP jeans suck for stunting).

ERICGSXR, if your lookin for protective pants go for the SPEEDRAG pants, cheaper than Joe Rocket, and nicer in my opinion.

at high speeds you have a good chance of getting jacked no mater what your wearing. But leather probably helps

 

Thanks for the link. I checked it out and yeah, they are around $10 cheaper. However, that shimmery black color kind of puts me off. they won't match my black leather joe rocket jacket at all, and if I walk into a restaurant, I'll look like a cowboy, motorcycle cop, an indian, and the rest of the village people should be following me. At least the draggin jeans look some what like a pair of jeans, and I won't get beat up when I walk into applebees.

Don't get me wrong, they looked nice, it's just that I've go so much invested in all the Joe rocket gear, and I don't like the joe rocket pants at all, so I'm still leanin towards the draggin jeans, now, if I could just find a pair on e-bay for $50, (I'm a tight wad like that...)

 

BUMP!!! ME too.......

Eric, you wanting pants to protect you (stunting) or just to look fly in? J|K bro

 

We have looked at doing a jean, but everyone is doing them now. Jeans may be what the riders want, but the fact of the matter is, they just dont sell in motorcycle shops. As far as protection goes, cordura is 20 times more abrasion resistant than denim. So, for the best protection, a nylon cordura pant (or a leather) is best. We make our pants baggy enough so riders can put knee/shin guards underneath. Our cordura pants do come with removable hip pads though. we are working on a summer version of these pants as well. I didnt know they were that shiny? We may end up doing a jean, but it will be way different from anyone elses.

 

Hey I know that guy!!! Wait I was there! Yeah i may definately be picking up some kinda cordura or that icon jean is good too but pricey. I flipped a stoppie this week at 60 and my jeans were gone along with my legs.

 

man i gotta be comfortable when I ride so try and keep the pants from being all bulky and uncomfortable. Cant wait to see em though
