Default Kevlar Jeans/Shirt

Anyone have any experience with Dragin Jeans and/or Shirt?

http://www.dragginjeans.com

After watching two guys low-side it in the past year on gravel, I'm thinking it might be time for more protection than just helmet and boots. Understand that nothing beats a riding suit, but figure this might be a good alternative. Stuffing my 49 year old, fat *** into a riding suit just isn't in the cards...

Have both but never went down in either.

Both are quality made. Shirt tends to run short at the bottom from my experience as well as those of others. I'd order the shirt one size larger for that reason.

Both hold up well to multiple washings.

I've used draggin jeans for the last couple of years. They have stood up pretty well. I havent "road tested" them but they are pretty sturdy. The one complaint that I have about them is that they get uncomfortable after about an hour or so of riding. There's a seam around the leg at around mid-thigh where the kevlar ends that starts to cause pain.

For longer trips I have a pair of leather jeans from Alpinestars that are really comfortable. I've also got a pair of Cycleport kevlar mesh pants for summer, expensive but the best protection that you can get.
