I liked the Draggin Jeans that are made in Aus (I think the H/O is here in Melbourne) but their pricing is way over the top compared to other brands. I am not sure what the go is here?

I would have to agree with unclestoolie. Wear what makes you comfy. Just like wearing leathers as far as I care. The helmet will protect to some extent, but don't expect it to save your life.
