Right. Kevlar jeans?

I'm after some camo ones with decent abrasion quality but don't know where to look.


I've been looking on this site but cant find what i'm looking for. http://www.visordown.com/product-features/10-of-the-best-kevlar-jeans/21237-3.html


My father in law got some for £30 off Ebay and reckon they are just as good as the expensive ones because they are line and have protection.


Can anyone point me on the right direction for this? any good websites on the subject?


These are the ones i'm looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Urban-Camo-Cargo-Trousers-Jeans-With-Protective-Lining-/141163603222?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=440238715608&hash=item20de01a516

I've crashed in £30 "forceriders" (seller on ebay is zeez_clothing) and they held up fine. They do a camo cargo version I reviewed both the jeans and cargo here viewtopic.php?f=79&t=53529


I also have some Draggin Drayko Optix camo trousers. Thicker Kevlar but a lot less coverage. If I'm honest I'd rather crash in the cheap ones. reviewed them here viewtopic.php?f=79&t=53582

What do you mean By Abrasion Resistance?


Kevlar tends to be a lining in strategic places


If it is genuine Kevlar then it will do its job and remain in tact. The outer however is likely to shred much like any other similar material.


Sliding along on Kevlar does generate a substantial amount of heat which can result in some nasty friction burns and leave lasting scars. I know from personal experience.


Good armour is just as important in Kevlar Jeans as it is in any other motorcycle protective clothing. It has to fit correctly in the right places and remain in place in the event of an off. Mine didn't :(

Only buy good quality gear! I wouldn't trust the cheap stuff. You always get what you pay for. I use Hood Jeans and they're great, and I reckon good value for what they are. Don't think they do Camo style though.
