For those quick jump on and go ride locally. Kevlar or with 'non-bulky' armor on knees and sides.

Any recommendations?

One keeps coming to mind is Dragging Jeans from Australia. Long way to buy from and the potential hassle of return etc....

There are at least three companies billed as Draggin Jeans, but to me the original FastCompany version made in North Carolina is still the best. The founder was a rider and textile engineer, and he is the one being dragged on his butt in the original ads. I have two pair of their pants.

The one in Australia came next and is due to Trademark infringement needs to sell as Drako. And now there is Draggin Protective Motorcycle Company in Minnesota. And others with other names.


You'll love the video at the end of this.

What size do you need? I have a brand new with tags pair of Icon pants size 38 I would make someone a great deal on.

I found most brands had very baggy legs on them. I had a couple of pairs of Brosh that came out of Israel that I liked real well. In fact I still have at least one pair of them, but there's no way I can wear them anymore. Too many cookies.

Aerostitch makes a great riding jean.
I must be in the minority when I say - I'm not the biggest fan of Aerostich pants. I have the AD pants and have spent a few $$ is getting them 'refitted' to my size - but each time it comes back worse. I gave up and moved to Klim Misanos. Like them a lot better than the Aerostichs.

non-baggy is what I'm looking for too. A little bit of style surely is OK for Motorcyclists! ;D I'll look up this brand too. Thanks

re you happy with the Klim pants? I'm trying to find a pair of true riding pants (not over pants) that I like

I had and liked the Motoport kevlar style jeans.
You send them a pair of your pants and they will make them the same size.
They are more comfortable than most denim pants and are 100% kevlar not just in the seat and knee area like some others.
