Those Sarso trousers seem to have a strange sheen to them, don’t know if that’s because the guy got dragged down the road. No he isn’t going very fast but if you came off your bike at 60 miles an hour I don’t think you would be much worse off in terms of wear and tear on the trousers than at the 15mph they’re doing but you would probably break your neck anyway.
That Sarso label on the back sucks though, way too shiny.
Yeah the badge at the back is a bit ott - but they have a decent range of styles and the kevlar lining seems pretty comprehensive + the price is very reasonable. The stockist (get geared) in leatherhead is closest to me - might go and take a gander.
I’d phone first to check they have them in stock to gander at, as the website gives a despatch time of 1-2 weeks which would seem to imply they don’t.
I’ve got some Dragging combats which are fine, but if I was getting a pair of jeans now I’d seriously look at the Hood stuff, not least because it’s significantly cheaper; I’m sure my Dragging combats only cost me around £80 a couple of years back.
Red Route is Frank Thomas stuff & I’ve grown far too attached to my flesh over the years to ever entrust it to the appalling standard of their kit.
i just woundering what do these jeans look like with armour fitted in the knees and hips. are they still comftable. i looking at getting a pair, or two but if they look bulky in this area i think i may just get them as they are
Personally I prefer Hood jeans… even though they don’t look as stylish, they have a full length layer of kevlar running down the jeans (from the waist to just below the knee) rather than just on the bits thought necessary…
They also came with Knox knee and hip protectors and are much much cheaper than draggin’s…
You can only order them through Hood directly but they are great in offering advice and can custom make the jeans for length etc…
Although Draggins look good new I don’t think they wear very well, they seem to sag after a while amd look krapola … just like jeams yer sdad bought in Tescos…
My Hoods are still going strong with no sagging or stretching 3 years on
