  2. Good brand of riding jeans?

    I'm looking at those as well. Anybody tried them yet? How's the fit and comfort. Went to Iron Pony last year to look at textile pants and all of them fit like ski pants or sit really really low which kind of defeats the concept of protection.

    Although, I don't think any of the men's gear is cut as stupid as that.

    Somebody told me that Rev It are some A-star former employees and their ladies cuts are much better than the other brands. Not sure if that is true or not. Northern Ohio Ducati carries the brand so I'm going to try and make it out there to check them out in person soon.

    From what I have read, 500 denier isnt much better than denim.

  6. Alright lets see where this thread goes

    Now I personally would not stand in his way at owning a firearm assuming hes able to pass the background check. However I wouldn't want to be around him if he did own one giving his propensity to fly off the handle.

    LEGALLY, it sounds as if he is able to own a firearm, but if you are afraid to be around him with a firearm, I would appreciate it you tried to convince him otherwise :)

    Just my HO.

    I have owned many brands. I have two pairs now...sliders and drayko. The drayko are the only ce rated jeans. Sliders have annoying Velcro in the knees where the useless armor goes and they are very hot. In fact, they are my cold weather pants, and I use them up to about the 75 degrees. The removeable armor is a waste of time and will never stay in place in a get off. Draykos have dyneema/kevlar in them and are MUCH more breathable. Both have a lot of Kevlar coverage.

    The Sliders are a loose fit, but the draykos are a little stretchy. Not spandex 80s rocker stretchy :)

    Regarding knee armor in riding jeans...I wouldnt waste your time with it. I guess it is better than nothing, but there is no way in hell it will be reliable protection since it moves way too easily. Knee armor directly attached to your leg is the only way to go IMO.

    Check out Motoports kevlar riding pants. Expensive but impressive protection and custom made. Even their 1000 denier cordura is uncoated(wont melt to your skin) and breathable and are custom made for $199. The 1000 denier cordura has the same abrasion resistance as leather.
