I used to be a paramedic. Having blue jeans scrubbed out of your skin with a wire brush does not look fun,
+1
I'm STILL a paramedic and they've been dropping like flies around here with riding season kicking in. Better to have jeans than shorts, but oh yeah, denim getting cleaned out equals not fun.
Pretty much what I wear all the time. I've got double front Carhartts that make good riding pants. They make some in 1000d cordura, pretty tough stuff.
If you look at how long these last, the protection they provide, and the guarantee, these would be pretty hard to beat. Don't know about paying $350 for a pair of pants.......the denim removal procedure described here does make them sound like a better investment however.
P.S. Nice to have a link when suggesting a product.....................

Slider 4s from Competition Accessories have a nice, looser fit than Draggin Jeans along with built-in accommodation for knee armor. Khakis, Blue or black jeans and dedicated pants too.
I bought a set of these and really like them,,,have not tried out their road rash worthiness yet,,and not planning to..
But stronger than jeans,, not overly heavy,,,and pretty good looking...
Decent price also..
Good to see that someone has good sense about proper attire for riding. I must admit that I wear denims most of the time and will wear chaps in the coldest weather. What is disturbing is to see all the riders wearing shorts and T-shirts during the summer. Ouch!
