I had a set of Draggins that split along one seam above the knee, and the company showed no interest.   Now I wear kevlar jeans from Bikers Gear Australia.  http://bikersgearaustralia.com/

Hornee black Cargo's w/ Kevlar lining (from Honda team moto, Nerang & Springwood)
Dark Blue Jeans w/ Kevlar lining (from Shark Leathers, Coomera)

And on the risky days, shorts and work trousers, though in winter I wear these under my black cargo's.

Kevlar to everywhere but the local shops.

Draggins when I go for a ride, normal jeans if I'm going to work. Always jacket, boots and gloves!

Pants who wears pants, the idea of riding is to be free of ALL your inabititions  :butt, although when I feeling bashful we wear Hornee jeans for short distance and textile for touring.

Ordinary jeans many times with PVC waterproof overpants for rain, textile pants of one sort for armour protection only (Joe Rocket with matching jacket) or for inclement weather the Aldi waterproof and armoured ones (with matching jacket) other times.

Kevlar seems the way to go these days and there comfy on a trip. On the poll though there should have been one for shorts singlets and thongs.
How many kids do you see wearing that sort of protective gear.  :'(

That's overdressed for terrorists, oops tourists, on hire scooters here. Board shorts and helmet for the guys, no shoes. Just add a bikini top for the girls..... :spank
