Anyone own any of these?
Draggin, Sliders, Joe Rocket....
Seems like a good idea for warm weather and commuter wear.
Any reviews?

Love my Aussie Draggin Combats. Wouldn't get anything else. (Note if you are in the US they are not the same as the one available there, but I think are the same as Canada.)
Don't look especially like bike gear, let a breeze in when it's really warm, and are comfy.

I don't have a pair, but I was surprised to find that the Triumph Kevlar Jeans cost less than Draggin Jeans.

I have Draggin cargos, wear them all the time. They sit a little lower on my waist than I am used to but its ok. I think I actually got mine from the aussi guy...

I have two pair of American Draggin' jeans. "Field tested" one of 'em a couple years ago. Saved my a*s, literally  . Still have them, just missing a rear pocket and scuffed a bit.

I have the Australian Draggin Classic Jeans, good fit and field tested at around 25mph low side slide on gravel. Just scuffed, no gravel rash.

I don't know how these compare to the kevlar gear or the brands listed. I also don't know if this is a dealership wide sale? Prices seem competitive. http://www.mascycles.com/eshopdetail_cat_3929.Winter_Closeouts_Tires__More.htmjh

Thanks for the input gang. I think I am going to try the Sliders brand and the Draggin brand. I wish I could get some of the Draggin Cargo style pants without having to import them from down under....

I have the Draggin Jeans and like them, but the kevlar is way to warm in hot summer weather. I would buy a pair that also had a "silk type" lining to keep the heat away during 90+ degree heat. I also have a pair of fleece lined Draggins for winter riding and no have never had cold legs no matter what the temperature.
