i'm wearing a pair now.
not had an off in them, but they are very comfy and they are no warmer than a standard pair of heavy jeans.
they do seem to offer a little more wind protection when wet than normal denim.
I've got the standard black jeans type, but next time i'm at M&P i'll be buying a pair of the cargo style ones.
the advice I got from the draggin jeans guy was to try and get them a bit a bit tighter than you would for a normal pair so they dont slip round if you come off.
you'll find the bottom of the legs much baggier than with a normal pair of jeans as they are designed to take your boots under them.
remember tho, that they only provide protection from gravel rash, there is virtually no impact protection.
because of this i only use them for local riding and never if i'm going for a 'scratch'.
they are simply a compremise between full leathers and standard denim

I've got some Black cargos, want to get the urban camo jeans next as my other lined jeans are just about knackered, they are Redmax brand, another local lot. Good for riding in summer when leathers are just too uncomfortable. Havent hit the road in them either.

I luurve my Draggin Jeans.
The denim is cool on a hot day, while the kevlar lining provides a bit of extra warmth on a cool day. I have, however, developed a bit of an allergic reaction to the kevlar lining, but this only develops if I wear the jeans all day for 3 or 4 days in a row while on tour in summer. I have to wear bike shorts underneath them now so I don't get itchy and scratchy.

they've started doing a skinny fit (tight ) for ladies, its jeans&matching jacket.
the bird who designed them for draggin has won a top fashion award for them.
cant be bad!

Bykebitz in Yateley are doing free knee armour with them at the moment, and the same price as M&P. I'm very tempted by the zip off cargo pants. Just stopped in Infinity on the way home and had a look at a pair, they definatly look a lot heavier duty than the Giali ones.

Could do some serious damage to the twiddly bits, from the evidence I've seen on the Simpsons?

There was a Canadian Guy used to demonstrate bomb disposal suits by detonating 1/2 kg of high explosive 5 metres away while he was wearing it , that suits full of kevlar too, and some strange brown stuff
