For anyone looking to get a little more protection than regular jeans, I highly recommend these! These look very similar to non-riding jeans with no extra external stitching, are soft and comfortable but more abrasion resistant than plain denim (they are cordura), and have useful armor pockets. There is a large coverage area of Kevlar. I bought the optional sas-tec hip and knee armor and it is very comfortable. They fit like relaxed jeans, not too baggy and not skinny jeans....very comfortable. Quality is also very good. I've had many pairs of Kevlar jeans and these are my new favorites. 9/10
