Nope. Sliders got and excellent review, so I bought a pair of them. They're great. Fit true to size, and have one of the largest coverage areas. They also use authentic Dupont Kevlar in them. Check em out, I highly recommend!!

Have tried the "DRAGGIN JEANS" first hand !!!

THEY ARE WORTH THE $$$MONEY$$$ !!!

If you try them out the hard way and return them with a note of what happened they will give you a 20% discount on the next pair !!!

I talked to some people who say the exact opposite, not worth the money because they didn't hold up well after multiple washings or something like that. I use the Aerostitch tree-climber jeans with the Crash pads in the knees. Just denim but nice and heavy.

Draggin Jeans absolutely work and work well. Life expectancy is much like any other safety equipment you depend on -- it'll eventually need replaced.

YMMV,,,but if you go down with the DJ's on you'll be most thankful.

It's been over a year or more at the Daytona 200 where I talked with some folks. Those users of the "draggins' said something about not being able to get them to dry sufficiently after washing them or not holding up well after washing and drying them. Something that made me look around for another alternative, I like the Arborwears a lot in day to day use and they are a bit cheaper to buy. Only need to buy the pads once and then you can swap them around. Just my .02, that and 3 and a half bucks or so and you can get a "latte."

Ordered the Draggin Jeans but did not like the fit. They were not true to size.

I too ordered Draggin' Jeans. I found the 'regular' size/cut that I wear was too small, I went up a size and switched to 'relaxed fit' or whatever. The company was just fine with me exchanging them. They know their fit problems and will do exchanges.

Maybe the relaxed fit would work they didn't have those when I ordered mine.
