Riding Jeans
Anyone have some recomendation for riding jeans that have kevlar protection of something like that built into them?
I am not looking for leather pants or chaps. Looking for jeans with something like kevlar/leather/or what not protection built in.
Are there and jeans jackets or vests made that way too?

I actually 4 or 5 pair of the regular Diamond Gusset Jeans for regular wear. Top Quality and last.

I have both Draggin Jeans and Diamond Gusset jeans and they are both very good quality. One of my pairs of Draggin Jeans is well over 15 years old now. They Kevlar in that pair is pretty well shot from repeated washings. I also had an unplanned dismount while wearing a pair of Draggin Jeans and they did their job. Tore completely through the denim over my right hip and knee but left the kevlar, and my skin, intact.

Hated Slides & love Diamond Gusset. The extra room in the crotch is the difference. Quality & fit is excellent & the little pocket on the right leg is great for a cell phone.

I also use Diamond Gussett and am very happy with them. All of the above plus they have velcro on the pants leg to tighten them around my boots. Makes a big difference if you ride in cold weather keeping the air from going up the leg.

Yep, the velcro on the leg is a great feature even though I thought it would look a little wimpy
it really is fine.
