a balaclava is just a pair of pants with a leg hole missing.

the last thing I want is for my family to cry

Well I just nabbed a pair of black Hood jeans from Ebay, came this morning, and I'm well pleased. I was eyeing up a pair of Draggin's at MacServices in Bodmin, but then these appeared, which I got for £55 including postage, and with the armour as well. The Draggin's would have been double that! I like these better, the Draggin's use knitted Kevlar, which is like towelling, really, and only cover the points of wear-knees, outside of thighs and backside. These line the whole inside down to the shins in front and the knees at the back, and the woven Aramid (which I think is Kevlar by another name) is smoother and more pleasant to touch IMHO. The Draggin's came up smaller, I'm normally a 34", but I needed a 36" in the Draggin's. These are size 34" and even with the armour in they fit fine, snugly but not too tight. I could quite cheerfully walk around town in them, armour and all, without feeling daft (well, no worse than usual, anyway.) Obviously can't vouch for their effectiveness when one 'chucks it down the road', and I've not had a chance to try them out on the bike yet, but first impressions are pretty good. These are the standard Hoods I believe, not the Concept 6 which use the knitted stuff.

These are the ones I bought - the H2 jean. When I wore them in work everybody thought that they were regular trousers.

I was kinda hoping with the onslaught of winter that kevlar jeans would be in the bargain basement by now. ambusy.gif

I wish. rolleyes.gif

Any hows a trip to J&S today revealed they have their own brand for 40 squids. doubtfull.gif

Or if you know you size you can get Draggins on ebay for under £90 with armour and delivered. I'd have to try them on first though. unsure.gif
