I have a pair of the older ICON Recon pants.

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

I am looking at getting another pair soon.

So $120 Aus plus postage, what are Draggins worth?

I can't remember how much draggins are worth, but i do know at SBK and MGP they are about $50 bucks cheaper and you get knee inserts, or some extra for free

the blue draggins are priced at 225 and the cargo 200 i think
by the prices $65us for postage would work out just as expensive

i walked into rr the other day and there's a new brand on the market called "hornee". Are they the same sort of thing.

The hornee jeans/pants looked good but the price tag was a bit high.

I have the Joe Rocket Steel Jeans, T bought them for me so I don't know how much...

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've gt some Black Rose motorcycle pants, not a jean but actual specific motorcycle pants, highly UNrecommended, very protective but unelss you ride in Antartica you'll end up with a sweaty liquid mass around your crutch..
