I have never been a leather pants/chaps type of person so still in denim. Just thinking of addtional protection and wondering if anyone has used the kevlar lined pants or seen them put to use? I am wearing armor under the jeans but thinking that will tear away in a slide. Good for the first bounce or two but then not much. Thoughts?
I wear Draggin' Jeans and even got to "test" a pair a few years back. Low speed, about 25mph, crowded onto the shoulder by an asshat in a Tahoe, lost traction and went down. Slid a ways, tore up my gloves, ripped the back pocket off the jeans, didn't even scuff my First Gear mesh jacket w/armor. Absolutely no injury to me. Except that I couldn't find a throwing rock in time to nail the bast*rd 
Contra todo mal, mezcal; contra todo bien, tambiƩn
