Reinforced riding jeans !?

[Robopath]

Ok so I was reading some accident case studies and scared myself out of my khaki A&F riding shorts :yeahno:. Decided I was going to make an honest effort to find some good mid-ground between riding pants and Jeans. I have heard of some and Ill list what I think so far after this post, but most aren’t what I’m wanting. I was wondering if anyone had any killer ones.

Draggin Jeans
http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcbeware/draggin.jeans.html
Summary: Heavy-weight jeans with a Kevlar (coupled with some other stuff) liner.
What I think: Too fuckin hot. I need something ill like to wear as well as increase my safety! On top of the weight I cant wear straight leg jeans. And I think that’s all they make.

Gas Jeans
What I hear/read: I HEARD somewhere they had some protection. What I READ didn’t say anything about that. If you know for sure they do. . . this is what I want. I think they have the right idea with style and a medium protection level.

Diamond Gusset Jeans
http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-jeans/
Summary: Made for riding, but I don’t see any extra protection over regular jeans. Only extra feature I have found is that they have an expansion gusset in the crotch area to allow for more comfortable motor-humping.

Brosh Power Jeans
http://www.brosh.com/new/default.asp?pid=106&L=1
Summary: They are regular jeans with inserts in the knees and hips. I am sure this is good protection when you fall and roll, but I want more than just that. Plus they work with inserts, which you know are gonna feel fucking weird.

OK ok ok. . . I just might possibly be asking too much here. I mean I want comfortable, low/medium (road rash resistant), stylish, breathable protection . . . oh yea and I want it to look good!

I just think that knowing what I DO know about the textile industry and the multitude of material available there must me something out there that I’m just not seeing. If there isn’t, someone could make a million making this kind of thing for us young, risk savvy riders.

I’m in the game of understanding and courting risk. . . I ain't trying to marry the bitch. :icon_thumright:

If your gonna ride why dont you get a pair of the fieldsheer mesh pants from Patrick? I got a pair and they are much more comfortable then jeans and uncomparable protection with armor on hips, hard armor on the knees, kevlar on the butt, and even armor over the shins.

If your just gonna pose then u might as well put on ur linen shorts with ur stylish sandals :eh:

If your commuting then I'd go with whatever you wear to work (jeans I'm guessin). I wore some jean shorts under my mesh pants when I dropped my bike off for some repairs and it works okay as well.

some one told me they went down with mesh pants and shorts on and rashed up their leg :eh:

so nobody knows about those Gas jeans? They are not reinforced?

I do want to pose. . . of how I do. But there is a difference between reinforced jeans and shorts. But it was a clever quip.
