    This shows the tests on Bull-it's biker jeans.

    Apparently they're the only ones with CE level 2 protection.

    I reckon I could be getting a pair if they can fit armour too. Jeans don't do much to protect bones....

    Those tests are too slow. Kevlar lined jeans are a nice idea but if you are planning on falling off a bike buy leather.

    Nobody slides along the ground at that speed...

    Agreed.

    You don't slide at that speed and you don't impact in a nice controlled manner. The most friction is applied on impact, which is usually at the highest speed.

    Dragging Jeans also achieved the same accolade.

    Has anyone heard of Esquad E-strong jeans? They're made with armalith which the manufacturer claims has twice the abrasive resistance of leather. Still would feel safer in leather though.

    Just got me some Draggins. Cosy. (Expensive though, relatively speaking)

    I'm out in Australia so prices will be different. $320ish next gen (stretchy but also a more tighter/comfier fit).
