Never have tried those however I've tried several and for the the most durable and best bang for the buck are the jeans from Cycle Gear, Bilt jeans. Lots of Kevlar and CE knee protection which is removable if desired.

I ride with a pair of Duluth Ballroom jeans. Great stuff. Their firehose jeans are also waterproof which is great for when it rains. Look into it

I have these also and like them. Good price too. I'm thinking of also getting the kevlar cargo plants they offer for the same price. I want the extra pockets when on the road.

I just wear regular jeans and a half helmet. People spend to much time over thinking life. I wear a half helmet because its what I prefer. I don't ride to be safe although I try to ride safely. People fail to realize that no matter what you do today doesn't guarantee you tomorrow. You can live the prefect lifestyle and die in your sleep.

You could fall down the stairs and break your neck but I don't play Russian Roulette on a daily basis either.

Today I just wore jeans, sneakers and no helmet. I do that for most of my local daily rides. Which is sort of ironic because I live in an urban area and the traffic can be crazy. However, when I travel, I wear kevlar jeans, boots, a protective jacket and a modular helmet. Go figure.

Check out the Draggin Jean Liners, that way you can have them on under ANYs jeans you have. I have them along with the long sleeve shirt and it is full coverage in case of a dive.
