Default Kevlar Panty Liners...The Ultimate or a Waste?

Has anyone had any experience riding with the Kevlar pant liners or other abrasion-resisting pants? Can you compare them to Kevlar reinforced jeans? How well do these kind of pants work during an asphalt skin removal procedure?

The discussion on the chaps reminded me that I was looking at those things trying to decide if they would be better, as good, worse or "no comparison" to "Draggin' Jeans" et al.

Before I invest a couple hundred dollars in long underwear that might be unwearable, I'd appreciate some input.

To me, they look really hot (uncomfortable...not the other kind of "hot"). Furthermore, since Kevlar doesn't stretch, I wonder about...er..."binding".

Finding a good, comfortable pair of abrasion-resistant pants for long rides during the summer is not as easy as I thought it would be.

(Oh, by the way...the "panty liner" thing in the title line was purely jocular...so to speak)
