Now that the warmer weather is looming I'm thinking about wearing my jeans a lot more on the bike. I tend to go out wearing them once or twice a week (on casual days in work or at weekends) but I always feel vunerable wearing them and rightly so because it wouldn't take long to get through denim and to my skin if I'm skidding on my a55 at 20km per hour
These kevlar leggings look like a good solution. You can wear these under any trousers and have good protection. I've tried to find stylish looking kevlar jeans but I've just about given up so I'd prefer to wear my own with these leggings underneath.

Has anyone bought these online or in Ireland? Are they any good?

[Mopped]

never seen them before,but they look good-

i guess though you would have to get an exact fit,to make them comfy to wear

[Fazerman]

And would they not be bleedin boiling in the summer under your jeans?!?! How bout nice pair of leather jeans?

Just like u retrogirl I sometimes wear Jeans when riding short distances but I am always conscious of how vunerable I am if I hit the deck.

I was toying with the Idea of getting an alterations shop to put some pouches on the inside of a few pairs of jeans so I could put armor padding
into the Hips and knees.

I Think its an idea that cud work if done correctly.

ya try the Sartso jeans? I got a pair of them the other day and theyre not too bad a fit..could be better but they definitly better than the Draggin jeans I tried on before.

To be honest, once you hit the ground fashion goes out the window. I would far rather look "unstylish" and stand up and dust myself down as i have in the past, then look stylish and still have a fractured kneecap/hip and torn up legs. Armour wins every time for me.

Would you not be taken those under leggings off once you are in work? Be just as east to wear something that you could slip on and off over the jeans without having to enter a changing room/toilets.

Not cheap either and might need to get washed more often as they are a tighter fit to your skin....

[drummer]

She won't have to wash them, girls don't fart or the likes.
