(review) Sliders Kevlar Jeans

'73 H1 Triple · 07-26-2008, 09:36 PM

I just got a pair of Slider Kevlar jeans off of Ebay today. I normally wear Lee jeans and the Sliders are the same size, fit wise. Get your normal size with these including length. I got 2" longer inseam and it probably wasn't necessary.

They look to be well made and were comfortable even before I washed them. They are warmer than regular jeans due to the Kevlar lining, but not bad even in the 90 degree heat today. I think these will be quite useful in the cooler weather.

Luckily I have no info on how well the Kevlar works on the road and I hope I never do. The ones I got do not have armor.

Here's an article I found on a comparison between Joe Rocket Steel Jeans and Sliders Kevlar Jeans http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...ders-jeans.htm

i have those same jeans, wear 'em everytime i ride.
fit like regular jeans, very happy with them.

i did unfortunately crash test them. other than a dime sized hole in the
denim above the kevlar they faired very well, tho i didn't slide @ all.

after 12 hours of riding and most of the miles either on the dragon or busting ass on the interstate back home...

did i mention curvy roads close to home

TN might just be the best state in the lower 48...

One of those rectangular states out west ain't bad either. Hint, it's not Kansas.
