Motorcycle Jeans ?

[GSXKING]

I have Draggin jeans, have never done a road test on them so cant say about performance. On any rides of about 300k they seem ok for comfort but I did a ride of about 700k and my arse was sore I could feel the dimples of the kevlar material even on my thigh.

Not going to even comment ...........................................

Won't be too many that's can comment on rides that long.

YES YES that's what I meant

It's an overnighter for you

I've done over 700k's in 1 go, and Yeah, I know what you mean, absolutely.

No mention of the aforementioned butt soreness though Col 

[KiwiCol]

Mate, I was stiff, sore & could hardly lift my left leg to change down a gear, like I was frozen in that 1 position. Me backside was stinging sore, hence I modified the seat & put a gel insert in it.

As Tony used to say, there's a lot to be said for 'bike fit'.   Think the ride I'm thinking of was 900 odd K's.  Was a while ago, but the memory of it is still there . . .

I've done the same ride quite a few times after just didn't wear the Draggin's, wasn't a problem those then.

[GSXKING]

I agree "Bike fitness" has a lot to do with how you feel at the end of the day. I'm not sure how the "Iron Butt" riders do it though. 

[KiwiCol]

They have an iron butt, that helps a lot.

Normally I go the Draggin Jeans but the inserts are extra, they do a good set of Cargo pants in Black, $200-$250 dollars at the Store.
I also bought a pair of Dri-Rider Jeans with inserts for the knee's for $120 on sale, not as good as the Draggin Jeans but acceptable.

I'm big on the Spidi "H2out"over pants. Quite warm so not for all year round.
Full zip both sides so just zip off.  Waterproof and warm. Order up a size for comfort.

I use Rokker Revolution jeans, a bit expensive but waterproof with knee and hip armour.

Still haven't decided which ones to get but I would want to get some locally as I would have to try them on before buying and I wouldn't want to make a mistake when buying something that expensive.

I`ve been googling the shit out of these as my Draggin`s are now miles too big for me and they are fairly old so have the Kevlar linings but no armour, which I want . D30 seems to be the dogs nuts of Armour and the only ones that I can find locally with the D30 are the Triumph branded ones, they are exxy, but the armour is included, am going to have a look when out of lockdown.
