Can't speak for the draggin jeans, even though I own a pair and occasionally wear them, I haven't crashed wearing them. However... I can speak for the TourMaster mesh pants. I kissed the pavement at 70 mph wearing these. Rolled and tumbled approx. 50 yards. Buddy riding behind me said it looked like I was break dancing down the highway. I walked away without a single scratch. Was a little sore for a couple days, but nothing major. BTW... these are very comfortable for summer wear. I just wear my regular underwear underneath them. In the winter I wear pantyhose and long johns underneath.

 

I have Cycleport (Motorport) kevlar jacket and overpants, both with lots of good armor. If I am going any distance, particularly on the highway, I wear both. They are supposed to offer excellent protection. I like them and have used them on long week-long rides. Both pant legs have full length zippers on inseam so can be opened or closed according to temp, and I wear shorts under them when hot out. Around town I usually wear only the jacket unless in the 90s or above. A friend has "Slider Pants" with installed armor that he wears on a regular basis. HE likes them and they look for the most part like regular pants (come in jeans of kaki). I'm thinking of getting a pair and am interested in what others have to say about protective pants.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has, or has talked to, anyone who had the Bohn Adventure Body Armor?

 

Did he just say he wears pantyhose?

 

Tumbled in a corner at 50. No skid thank god. Wearing jeans, a heavy sweatshirt and a 1/2 helmet.

 

Yep, that's it - panty hose for "guys".

 

Yep... I said pantyhose. I wear the big girl size.

Actually wearing pantyhose is an old skier and oil field roughneck trick. Helps cut the wind chill and keeps your circulation flowing. Back before we had all these fancy smancy ski outfits, I used to wear pantyhose, long johns and Levis whenever I hit the slopes. On the rigs it was pantyhose, long johns, Levis, and Carharts. When temps are -40° below, you want to dress in layers... same goes for riding your bike.

 

Pantyhose? Now I've heard it all! LOL

 

Pantyhose works! Also used newspapers wrapped around my legs and pull the jeans over them. Works pretty good for insulation too.

 

Nothing hurts till all motmentum stops.
