'''Draggin Jeans'''

~~I have both the~~ Draggin Jeans and ~~Shirt~~. ~~The shirt is 100 percent knit kevlar and~~ the ~~jeans have~~ the ~~same kevlar in~~ the ~~seat~~ and ~~knees. Kevlar is one of~~ the ~~best materials~~ for ~~abrasion resistance. Since most accidents occur at about 30 mph (Hurt Report) they should provide adequate protection from abrasion~~. ~~They are~~ well made ~~and ideal for hot weather riding~~. ~~I got mine from Competition Accessories~~ and ~~they take returns if~~ you ~~don't like them~~.

There are two Draggin Jeans companies; one in Australia and Fast Company, based in Hickory, NC (made in USA). According to the best information that a 30 minute search would provide, the US company is the original, and holds the US patent for the product. Both products seem to be equally well-made. It may come down to price and what you can find.

~~'''Note~~:~~''' You may want to consider~~ the ~~fact that most~~ Draggin Jeans ~~don't~~ have ~~any armor~~ in ~~them~~. It is ~~an option, however, so make sure~~ of ~~what you want~~. ~~Also, if you~~ are ~~looking~~ for ~~these, there are several companies that call themselves by a similar name~~. ~~Make sure~~ you ~~get the Australian Draggin Jeans (see website below)~~.

Testimonial: I have both the Draggin Jeans and Shirt. The shirt is 100 percent knit kevlar and the jeans have the same kevlar in the seat and knees. Kevlar is one of the best materials for abrasion resistance. Since most accidents occur at about 30 mph (Hurt Report) they should provide adequate protection from abrasion.

'''Note:''' You may want to consider the fact that most Draggin Jeans don't have any armor in them. It is an option, however, so make sure of what you want. They're a good idea if you like the jeans look, but you can most likely find a pair of mesh pants with better armor for the same price, or less.
