Armour - Page 3

HokieDNA01 · 06-23-2009, 10:16 AM

All of my jackets have armor built in and I never leave home with out one. I have been riding around town in jeans though and would like to pick up some kevlar ones if I can find them for women. I am also looking at some undersuit pants to wear under jeans.

Boy if you were my size, I'd send you some armored underpants! Mine are so hot, you may as well be wearing leather!!! That's why I went to the knee armor set-up I use now.

That may be a good option as well Tig. I will need to buy some baggier jeans but I just dont like having my knees un protected. I wouldn't mind having some armored shorts and then knee guards. Will have to start shopping around.

I don't know seems expensive... I thought Draggin' jeans sold ladies sizes? For that money you may be better off with armored mesh pants. Except for the "Power Ranger" factor!!!

Draggin' jeans does have women's sizes, cuts, and styles.

They do. I do not like the way they fit. VERY high waisted. Next time I'm out in NC I might stop by the Draggin Jeans store to try some more on.

I have mesh armored overpants. They are very hot when not moving (ie bike nights etc) and they do look like ski pants.

Have you looked at the new Skinz model or maybe it's called Minx? They're low rise.

Careful now, let's not let fashion come before function!

Nah, to be honest, I've tried 4 or 5 different kevlar jeans and I won't wear them because of they way they fit and look!

I really don't understand why they can't take an Express, TH, POLO, etc jean and throw some fucking kevlar in the seat and call it good!!
