I own a pair of "Hornee" jeans - I find they fit alot better and are fair more comfortable then the draggin jeans.... They have actually catered for the female form. And I dont look like I have step out of a time warp from the 80's with megga high waist and funny buldge in the crotch that looks disturbingly like a iddy biddy baby penis. I think they retails for around $230 or so.... bit more expensive but they are soooo much more comfortable I dont mind paying the little bit extra. My draggin's are horrible to wear.

I had bought a pair of hornee jeans... they looked hot in the shop... but when it came time to sitting on the bike they were waaaay too low cut (half my arse was hanging out... and I'm going with it was the jeans cut too low and not that my arse is too big :P ).

They cost about the same as Draggins I think...

I have ordered a pair of Draggin Skins... they are *alot* better than the ordinary draggin jeans... can't wait til they get here :D

Those Icon pants in the original post look pretty good too :D :D

Mel have you tried the Daggin Skins on? Just curious as to how they fit. I have a pair of the Draggin Traffic's and I hate them...

They are hotter than cargos, but they would protect alot better in a crash.

They have the Kevlar but are no where near as heavy or hot to wear as Draggins.

They feel like normal jeans to wear when you are off the bike.

cheers
i have a pair of Joe Rockets and a pair of Draggin's. The Joe Rockets are far more comfortable but I don't think they offer the same protection. The Draggins are way heavier and The Joe Rockets are not Kevlar but small chain mail steel mesh. The Joe Rockets also look far better.
