Does anyone have photos they can post up of you wearing black draggin jeans? I can not find any on their website or using google search.

I am looking for black riding jeans, any brand is fine as long as they are black and look nice and have quality protection.

Any suggestions/photos are appreciated.
 
I don't have them but here they are. Cortech Black Denim Pants
Great shop too, if you want something special (size/color/advice/brand) just call and they will have it for you in no time.

I was looking at the specs. on this pant and noticed the impact areas are using leather! If the leather is sewn in and you can't remove it there will be degradation every time you wash them. A pant with Kevlar might be a better choice.

That is a good point. They have some others like: Maxx Black Denim Pants Men's Street Pants Maxx Black Denim Pants | Helmet City
Or Rodeo Black Denim Pants Men's Street Pants Rodeo Black Denim Pants | Helmet City

This Rider 2.0 Jeans have the Kevlar protection, they have them in dark blue but as I said, I'm pretty sure if you call them and the manufacturer make them in black, they will send it to you. Pants Rider 2.0 Jeans - Blue | Helmet City

Same here Men's Pants Insulated Denim Pants | Helmet City


BTW, what do you thing about the Carhartt ones, they have double front and are $50.00 ??Carhartt - Product - Men’s Double-Front Work Dungaree
 
I have fieldsheer blue jeans. Look just like regular ones, except there are a few little orange decals, and the buttons have FS on them. Kevlar lined everywhere, of course it's only good for the abrasian, and certainly no impact qualities. Legs are not as narrow as some slimmer fit jeans, more like a boot cut.

I don't have other than leather for riding and I would like to at least have some Kevlar/Aramid re-enforced jean type pants for the very few times I get on the bike without leather.
Also coming for me this year will be a Kevlar riding pant from Motoport.
These are pretty pricey but this guy guarantees his products even after you've gone down and damaged the gear. It's washable in your washing machine. You send him a pair of your regular good fitting jeans and they custom make the pants for you. If you need them altered they take care of that. They come in an overpant version or GP track type pant. They have a jean 5 pocket design type Kevlar. When you think about then long term they're not expensive. If nothing else check them out: Motoport Products

Edit: I have friends that have these Motoport products and they all love them!
 
I bought these from jake wilson since i had a $10 credit:

Cortech DSX Denim Motorcycle Pants

I will post up pics when I get them, they have removable knee armor which i like.
 
I'd highly recommend the Sliders 3.0 jeans, I bought two other companie's "kevlar" jeans which were terrible. Literally like a thin handkerchief sewn in. The Sliders jeans are reinforced well, and have substantial kevlar/textile reinforcement. They're very comfortable, and relaxed, no one could tell I was wearing riding jeans.

I picked up a pair of black, and ordered one length size longer for better coverage while riding.

Ditto! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I have a black pair and a blue pair, wearing them for four years, and bought two more pair when they had a ridiculous sale on them last summer.

Wow motoport, talking about customized gear, I'm considering a pair of jeans and a matching jacket with them(only need to save like $900.00), Thanks for the advice Motogiro. :thumbup:
 
Here's a pic for you (no, it's not me ;)) I have a pair of black - very dark, and my husbands black Draggins have a faded finish to then.
 
As I have mentioned before, I love their Kevlar Gauntlet Gloves. For $120, they are going on close to two years. Not even a sign of wear, even after throwing them in the wash several dozen times. I ride everyday and this is the only pair I have owned since my last pair ripped. They will replace it if it tears. How many gloves have you gone through?

Great gloves for moderate climates to extreme heat. Not really meant as cold weather gloves. But inserting a liner helps.

I use to go through gloves every six months. Either the seams came apart or I would actually wear out a hole somewhere around the palm area of the glove.

As far as my Air Mesh Kevlar Pants, I have worn them everyday for almost two years as well. They have shown some wear, and I have even experienced a 20 foot slide with them on. I didn't feel a thing during my slide but the Kevlar did get scuffed up and even expereinced a small hole in my knee cap area. It really made me wonder how much my leg was actually sliding against the pavement. I was still in my riding position when I came to a stop so if you think about it, my leg went for a 20 foot slide too.

My zipper handle has broken and my reflective material has kind of deterioted from everyday day use, not sure whether it's from the washing machine or just from getting scuffed up from riding or wearing them at work all day. I do live in these pants everyday.

I will see how my repair repair goes.
 
Here's the best I have. They aren't black, but they are Draggin Jeans - the classic style, I think.
