I haven't crashed them yet, thank G'd, but besides being an owner of the Draggin jeans, I also coughed out some serious dough for the chino pants from Draggin of Australia, just so I don't have to change when I'm at work.
They look just like regulars and accepatable at work.
Methinks since regular pants won't give any protection, Draggin's might give some protection and that is as long as you're riding in the city at scooter speeds.
Ride safe (as they warned me everytime I exchanged e-mails with them).
