Draggin Liners anyone?

[Motormike]

A friend at work told me about Draggin Jeans -- jeans with kevlar sewn into the inside for abrasion protection. I was doing some research on them and saw that they also have Draggin Liners, which look like long underwear that you can wear under any pants.

I like the Liners because they are full kevlar from top to bottom, and I can wear them under my work pants, khakis, regular jeans, or whatever. I'm a little big in the butt, so getting jeans that fit well is an issue for me.

I see from some other posts that many peeps have used the jeans and like them, but has anyone tried the liners?

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing. I hope someone has an answer.

I've never heard of the liners, but I know ICON makes some great riding jeans...Thats what I wear....and they are great...

For the price I would look into Bohn Body armor. The Draggin Liner does not provide any impact protection. The Bohn armor can be worn under jeans and comes in both a standard and a "cool" version that uses more of a mesh material for better air flow.

A guy on another forum I'm on said he went down at 100+ mph while wearing the draggin' jeans. He got a strawberry from the initial impact and rash where the jeans were (lower back). Otherwise, he was fine. I'll gladly take a pair.

But if you want to wear something under normal pants / jeans... you NEED these

I plan on buying some shortly.

Anyone besides me think these bohn armour things look the old Cooperall girdle?

The Draggin Liners have knee armor inserts that you can add on. I'm looking at these more for abrasion resistance, and the Bohn ones don't seem to offer much aside from the parts where the armor is. I also want something that I won't be deathly hot in the summer, or else I will never want to wear them.

Has anyone tried both?

True Draggin offers knee armor, but I am not sure that I trust armor to be held in place with a couple velcro patches. The Bohn armor may not provide full coverage for abrasion resistance, but it covers the spots that are most likely to contact the ground during an accident. As for how cool each is I would guess that they are both warm if you are just hanging out.

I am torn on this because I like the full coverage of the Draggin liner, but the Bohn seems to provide more protection overall.

Draggin Jeans over Bohn armor. You'd be set.
