Sliders Jeans 4.0
Hey guys I was thinking of getting a pair of kevlar jeans and was curious if any of you had experience with the slider jeans, either good or bad? They look like they have good coverage and seen like they'd be fairly comfortable.

I don't have sliders brand ones, but my kevlar jeans are fairly comfy. Definitely worth the extra protection.

I heard they run a little big and they've got good reviews.

Where do you usually buy your jeans? At the flea market? $80 for kevlar jeans is really not expensive.

Denim lasts two seconds on asphalt. 80 bucks isn't so bad when you consider the price of skin grafts.

You'll pay more than that in co-pays for all the doctors visits you'll have if you get a serious case of road rash.

Do a search, there was a thread not too long ago about this. I went with the Diamond Gussets adn really like them. They're more of a relaxed fit, so I will go one size smaller when I get my next pair, but there's tons of room, especially for the sword and stones.
