stantheman Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 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.htmlMy 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 Quote
wr6133 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 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=53529I 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 Quote
Ali in Austria Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 What do you mean By Abrasion Resistance?Kevlar tends to be a lining in strategic placesIf 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 Quote
Herbie Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 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. Quote
