Draggin Liners and Kevlar Shirt?

[1stbase]

I see lots of review on draggin jeans but how about draggin liners? Also how are the long sleeve kevlar shirts? Any links or stories about crashing with draggin products?


Draggin Liners: Draggin Liners

Hey guys I would also be intereted to hear about the liners!!!

I hear good things about the pants but the liners work with all of your jeans, and give you even more protection...

I am considering Draggin' Jeans products as an alternative to leather pants (full leathers), atleast until I get the Ninja...

Also I have seen armour available that fits on the liner... Which could be an option for longer distance riding (obviously though it slightly defeats the purpose of these products, to hide any signs of protective gear).

I have the draggin jeans, can't stand the armor in it when off the bike. Jeans are pretty warm and don't breath much in hot weather. The jeans are lo-riz so they don't fit my chubby body well, off the bike they feel strange, not at all comfy. Their kevlar shirt is kind of a snug fit so don't wear the armor in it either. Black in color is what I bought so gets hot in summer. Haven't crashed since I bought them so can't comment. Just bought tour master mesh jacket seems some cooler, looks a lot better. Just bought 1st gear mesh pants too hoping for cooler ride. New enough.com has River Road mesh pants on sale for around $50. Hard to beat the price for a quality pant.

The Draggin liners looked like a good idea.

I'm open to anything right now. Due a spill last week I'm kneeling on the chair right now because my butt hurts so friggin much I can't sit while typing this. I'll try NewEnough again though. Thanks.

Real sorry to hear about your spill. Sorry too that I have no experience with the liners, in fact don't know what they are . . skid resistant ? or only air and moisture retardent . Good luck, heal quickly.

Thanks SKTR. I guess when you don't use your brains you'll end up up using other parts of your body.

Anyways I thought the question brought up by 1stbase is real interesting from the standpoint that it would be nice if some more good ideas would come along. Being a short chubby guy my search for protective gear has been difficult. I'll be spending some time on the Draggin jeans site myself tonight, I didn't know they had the other products.

Good luck on the search. Being a transplant from Beloit, was wondering what part of SE WI you hang your hat in. . . Jim

I've been in Waukesha for about 30 years now. Not far from Beloit but for some reason just never have made it out there yet. I'm sure I will soon however, don't need much of an excuse to jump on the bike to go places. Do you make it back to the area much?

All I can say is check out Motoport jeans, spendy but so is a skin graph

I have a pair of the Draggin' Liners and really like them. I can wear them under any pair of pants and living in SC they are fairly comfortable in the summer heat, very breathable. They are not really scratchy at all. I had a pair of the Draggin Jeans but found them uncomfortable for all-day use. The liners are a softer feeling Kevlar and a double layered at the knees and but. During the winter I prefer wearing all leather but it is too hot for the summer. At least with the liners I feel minimally protected as I do not use the armor. I also have a pair of the BMW City Pants which I love, but they are a bit expensive and are not overpants, great for long weekend rides because they have great armor and look pretty much like normal pants (European style). The BMW Summer 2 pants are also great.
