I'm not going to claim the carhart logger jeans are better protected than the kevlar, but they are A LOT thicker than the reg jeans, plus the doulbe dennim over the front. when i got mine i had to wash them a few times, they were stiff as a board!

If you have been looking at the new expensive riding jeans that are extra thick with added protection, I found a cheaper alternitive ($35). try a pair of carhart Logger jeans. they are extra thick with double layer front dennim. I just got some and they work great on the cold rides!

Bass Pro Shops sells a jean that has a liner inside the pants. The brand name is RedHead.
These jeans have a regular price of $34.94 and are on sell for 24.94, a $ 10.00 savings.
These jeans would be great for this time of the year. I am going to try them out in the morning on my way to work. It will be cool and a brisk travel to work. I am sure they will work find.
Hope this helps someone, Have a great day and please ride safe...

I just picked up a pair of http://www.gussetclothing.com Carpenter Jean Dark Stonewashed
And for comfort they are hard to beat. A little pricey but worth it to me for that type of comfort and Made in the USA.
I have a few pair of Carhartt though i like them the leg cuff rides up high when i am in the seat. Above the top of my boots which lets a ton of wind in and not digging the moose knuckle.

I work with fire engineers and they wear kevlar fire equipment. It's like I'm looking at the tag on the fire suit right now. That's funny work for DuPont.
I have been in jeans in a crash in the 70's when real jeans were made. I will tell you that jeans are no good for any slid and now I will use leather or kevlar.
