my mate has a pair from www.dragginjeans.net that he got on ebay. They are pretty cool and i fancy a pair myself! They are made in oz though and not many outlets sell them and im not willing to spend £80-90 and find they dont fit.

I'll have a look at the site you posted

that's the thing. i would be able to make it to the hood factory to check them out before buying

I’m going to get a set off these after my recent off!!

I wear a one piece suit for rides out but if I’m nipping to the shop there is no way I’m putting all that on to go through town at 30mph!! I reckon a pair of these and a lightweight jacket is a perfect compromise.

They aint that good, they affect your confidence on the bike because you know its going to be more painful than usual if you come off, even with armour in them

i notice that if i'm riding in normal jeans to work, i use a LOT less lean angle then when wearing proper trousers

A few people recommend hood jeans over on VD. Not sure how many have crashed in them though.

Going to get a pair myself next year.....after I've lost some weight
