Io really wouldn't trust something like this, cheap jeans with cheap stitching and quality would only last you one crash. Get some real jeans

haha yeah dont buy them!

are you kidding, I'm going to be checking these out for sure. they are CE approved which means that they meet international standards, there is not many sets of draggins that are CE approved.

for $70 they are worth checking out in my books.

I just looked there is only 1 set of draggins that is CE approved, and they are $399 retail.

so in my books if they are only half as good they are still worth it. they gotta be better than regular jeans.

Hey Phil, just so you (and others) are aware if you read it carefully you'll notice that ONLY the protectors are CE marked not the garment its self. This means that the actual jeans probably don't have any testing for seam strength, tear resistance or abrasion resistance etc. I also doubt that the protectors are ce approved as its all to easy to put a ce mark on something and get away with it as its loosely policed. If it is however this is what you must get

"by law all CE marked PPE must be supplied with detailed, printed information on selection, care and maintenance of the product. Protective motorcycle clothing and impact protectors must be supplied to the consumer with such information and it must describe, for example: how the product was tested, the test data generated, how to remove and reinstall protectors (as may be necessary when cleaning the garment) and the anticipated service life or how to recognise when the PPE requires replacement."

Taking into consideration the wholesale cost of a pair of $70 jeans and my experience of the cost of QUALITY kevlar i doubt the kevalr would be too spectacular.

Who knows they might be good but id be surprised.

who cares if they are CE approved or not, draggins are a name brand everyone trusts, i dont need CE certification; my ungrazed ass is living proof. i guarantee the fit will be shit, and they'll look kooky, who buys pants in M,L,XL.

keep an eye out on ebay, you can get a new set of draggins for about $120-130 or a second hand/ barely used near new pair for $90-100
