Been considering a pair of these myself, so let us know what you think of them as you use them. I would be interested to know what they are like after a few months, if they are stil a good fit etc. Can you stick 'em in the washing machine btw?

I'd be interested in hearing what you think. I find being dressed like power ranger when nipping to the shops or round a mates isn't always ideal! Do they feel pretty solid? My only concern would be how well they perform if/when called upon.

well they fit great , but only had them for less than 24 hours. you can wash them 30deg. so no problem. but just remind me alter on in a few months and bring this post up and I shall see what hey have worn over the months.
after spending almost a ton on them I hope they are as good as I have read

the main thing is they look like normal jeans. Ok the link does not seem to show that but they do and I did not want to look like a child with mothers knitted knee pads in as I have seen in the past weith bike jeans

fingers crossed

to add I bought mine in Riders of bristol. www.ridersofbristol.co.uk/ whcih is lucky was they are only about 10 mins away from me. they had most sizes froma 34" weist to 44" in various design's

I heard that you need to order a good few sizes bigger that regular jeans. Any truth in this?

I bought a set of their cargo pants last summer and absolutely love them. They're comfortable, warm in winter, cool in summer and you get loads of added feel for the bike.

I have a pair too.

I really like them, do occasionally find them a bit warm in the summer cos knitted kevlar is thick but that aside I think they are great.

I have a thin waist and long legs and the Draggins didn't fit me well, my mate has a larger waist and short legs and his don't fit very well. I've got a pair of Giali jeans which fit a bit better but they're not perfect. I wouldn't reccomend buying them until you've tried a pair on to make sure.

This was a couple of years ago when we bought our jeans so the sizes may have changed a bit now.

Draggin jeans are cut a bit longer in the leg on all sizes. Its so that when you are sat on the bike they don't ride up. Where I bought mine from there seemed to be a decent range of waist sizes... I'm a 32 and a draggin 32 fits fine...
