What are the best kevlar motorcycle jeans?

[north-aurora]

I'm in the market for a pair of blue kevlar motorcycle jeans and am wondering if anyone has any advice. So far my favorite pair is the Utility Draggin' Jeans, but I am going just by pictures and online reviews ($120 + $20 shipping).

I've had several pairs of draggin jeans, I like them. I don't so much like the
aerostitch riding jeans... http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-protekt-jeans.html...

I wear dickies over-alls when working and stuff at my house, but they wouldn't offer
much abrasion resistance in a crash... but I've recently gotten some really thick
overalls from duluth trading post, I'd ride in them... they call their thick material
"firehose canvas"...

Had the opportunity to field test a pair of Sliders.     They worked just like they were supposed to.

  I have HOOD jeans from England there about $100 they cover more area with Kevlar then the local companies they don't have any extra seams that you see they look like regular denim jeans and they have other Kevlar products .

I have a pair of Diamond Gusset and my first trip in them was 1150 miles from Austin to Central Florida in two days. They were about the only part of me that was still comfortable after that trip.Pretty much wear them as often as I can when riding.
Wore them this afternoon on a little jaunt of around 75 miles. They are soft and comfortable and fit well. They are getting lighter in hue and fit like you like jeans to fit. Every time I wash them they get softer just like they are supposed to. Just looked at them and every seam is still perfect. They have a velcro band at the bottom of the pants leg that will allow you to tighten the leg around your boots for poor weather. There is a dedicated cell phone pocket on the front of the right leg that I have started using as I use the nav function in my phone and bluetooth it to my helmet. Makes it easy to grab the phone when I stop.
The actual denim appears to be at least as heavy as Carhart jeans which, to me, is a good benchmark. The patches of kevlar sewn in are still perfect after many washings. No pulled stitches and no bunching.

Don't forget that the impact of an oopsie is as important as trying to mitigate road rash.

I agree... do you have some of these?

The aerostich jeans that I foo-fooed in my previous post are high quality and have really good
knee pads that are removable... even so, the clunky knee pads are what makes me choose not
to wear them very often... it might help if I bought the right size, but I hate tight stuff

Thanks for the advice. I think I will go with the Diamond Gusset Defender jeans, from what you are all saying and what I am reading it sounds like a real quality product, and made here in the USA.
