Looked at some kevlar lined jeans last weekend at Barber's Vintage Festival. Talked the the guy who owned the company - he was wearing a pair of the jeans and they looked great. Could not tell they were riding jeans. The Kevlar lines the jeans and stops at about the top of where a boot would end so your whole leg would be protected as long as you were not wearing tennis shoes or flip flops. Have been meaning to look into the jeans and this gives me a big prod.
MapleJeans.com
I found a pair on amazon for $109.
The picture of the hole in the knee is crazy!
I had the exact same hole in my knee.
I have full kevlar jeans now.
Were they Maple Jeans?
That's pretty much the average running price for the kevlar lined jeans.
I think Dragging jeans used to go for something like $80.
I asked Wayne over at Motoport about these jeans, here's his response.
The Kevlar Jeans are very similar to Dragon Jeans. A complete gimmick. They use sections of Kevlar under the denim material. Denim tears at 4 pounds, so you need to land perfectly on the Kevlar sections. To make the pant even worse is that they use pure Kevlar sections that have the same abrasion strength as cotton.

hmm while that sucks for that dude, I do still find myself riding somedays without my overpants, sometimes jeans and sometimes just shorts. but thats when I ride from my house to school/work which is all of a mile away on 30mph max roads. I do try to wear my overpants most the time, but I always wear my helmet, jacket, and gloves; it just feels weird not too.
