Milligan Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Pondering kevlar cargo pants...Red Route in particular...the cordura ones I've got now do the job and have been brilliant in really wet, cold weather but now the thermometer has gone up a few degrees they are turning into a bit of a sweat suit...good way of losing weight mind!The things I am looking at have good protection for the old kneeknobs but how effective is kevlar? They look great but is that too much of a trade off over safety in a spill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houltmac Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have a pair of Draggin Jeans and I love them - in fact I have 2 pairs!They are kevlar lines and while I haven't had a spill in them (touch wood) I trust their advertising (check the videos on their website) as I have seem live demos. Pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearOn Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have a pair of black kevlar cargo trousers from Draggin Jeans, bought at MCN show, half price!, and although ,touch wood, havent had a spill with them on, they do seem great and very comfy. Also got a pair of kevlar jeans to from Bulletproof. Again cant fault them. Much happier wearing either of them instead of normal jeans or the big heavy textile trousers. Go for it and get some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratser Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have Red Route jeans, and while I have not came on while wearing them, I feel they offer very good protection.Kevlar in the arse, hips and has knee protection which are removable for washing purposes.Think mine were £70 from J&S.

Milligan Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Aye....well.....despite all that malarky I've ended up with a pair of draggin' camo ones, black cargo's were a smidgin skinny and I gave up on imagining I was, longer ago than I care to remember. Got 'em from Infinity in York and wouldn't have if I hadn't got enough points from their incard bonus system. I may have thought twice as the knee protectors were an extra fourteen quid, if you wanted hip protectors they had to go away and have special pockets sown in for £15 plus the cost, 'bout £14, of the hip protectors. Wouldn't a complete package be more attractive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I got the cargo one a couple of years back and they came with the protection, Can't wear it mind, the knee protecters, protect my ankle!!! Keep meaning to have the pocket moved... which reminds me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
