Draggin is good.

Cortech is better.

I was thinkin about them, but I am going to pick up some of the bohn underamor pants instead, and just wear that underneath regular jeans. Gives you more options, and I think that the Bohn product offers a higher level of protection.

I'm looking for a pair of Bohn Adventure shorts for under my leathers.

I currently own two pairs of Draggin Jeans. I have their regular jeans and the cargo jeans. The cargo jeans are much, much more comfortable and look better then the regular jeans. Draggin jeans fit true to size. I bought them in the size jeans I normally wear and they both fit perfect.

I also have a pair of Shift riding jeans that I like alot, but not as much as the Draggin jeans.

I've tried on Joe Rocket riding jeans, Cortech riding jeans, and Icon riding jeans. None of those fit as well as the Draggin Jeans or offered as much protection as the Draggin jeans. The Shift jeans were a close second, which is why I went with them. But the Draggin jeans are still the best "riding" jeans i've worn.

The Draggin jeans use a much thicker dennim then other riding jeans and their stitching is tripple stitched all over for extra durability. They have plenty of Kevlar protection all around the legs, hips, and butt.

I highly reccomend them

I have the Cortechs and couldn't be happier. Off the bike, the knee armor kind of rubs you funny. But, on the bike, it's fine.

I wouldn't expect the armor to stay in place, should I go down, though. They just don't fit like leathers do. I only wear them for casual rides, anyway.

I have a pair of the "classic" Draggin Jeans. Great protection, and you have to read their testimonials- like the two old guys on tour that wrecked and the EMT couldn't cut through the jeans

Thing is, the classic feel like old man pants. Too tight in the hips for my tastes. I got them for a great price (like $80) and thought they'd break in. (I think they shrank) The loose fit 32s almost fit me, and mine are 34s, so that might be the way to go. They have cargoes on the US site, and I think the australia site has zip-off cargo short deals.

I just ordered a pair of the Mod Denim pants. Looked at the DSX too, but couldn't see any difference.

I'm considering getting a pair of Icon's Anthem pants if I can find them under $110. Supposed to be the same coverage as Draggin with more style.

Were they when they first came out? They now have velcro'd pockets... the first pair I got they slid around, now they stay RIGHT where they should.

That may be the only difference between the Mod and DSX.

I have a pair of the Draggin Jeans. I hate the cut and the way they look. They remind me of Rustlers or Wranglers. I also have Shift,Icon and LBZ riding jeans/pants. Of them all,the Icons fit and look the best but I doubt they have the protection of the Draggin Jeans. I also have the Bohn under armor. I think it would provide great protection but I found it to be very hot. I got a severe case of monkey butt wearing it on a long ride and quit using them. BTW I just ordered the Icon Leather pants. Supposedly they follow Icon's general style lines,ie boot cut/loose fit. I'm hoping the airflow will be good. I'll let everyone know when they come in. Maybe I'll join Photobucket so I can post some pics.
