Just fell on this on the web.

They even pretend they are more resitant than leathers, see videos.

I love riding in protective jeans but hate the old fashion models most make. Apparentely these look very modern.
They are quiet expensive, think I will order one, not sure if they ship worldwide.

No affiliations whatsoever,

here is the link, which should be in english :

looks pretty good... A tad typically overstyled as the French tend to do but look to work superbly.

What is the exchange rate?? 300-350 Euro's is how many dollars??

shrunkenhead · 04-23-2007

300 euros = 400 us dollars.

I'll take the sexy leather pants, thanks.

£236 for one pair?!

Christ.
Mind, if this stuff is supposedly strong as leather, it may be worth it.
Will have to do some reserch on these.

I think ICON makes something like this or similar....

I have yet to see a pair the looked normal - so far not my cup O tea...I'll stick with my fleece lined CARHARTS...

holy*****, thats way too much for a pair of jeans.

Ill stick with my alpinestars, they are great.

The Icons look good, but my Icon Anthem Jeans only lasted me 6 months before the crutch wore away in them. I've got to take them to a seamstress and have some patching/repair work done. And this isn't from an off, it's from just wearing them like normal jeans on the bike for commmuting around town.

I'll always go my alpine stars leathers if i'm going for a serious ride, jeans have no impact resistance and i don't trust them like i trust leathers.

The site listed added protection in the hip and knees, whatever that means.

Very nice, if your inside leg measurement happens to be 36"

As with most of these manufacturers, the consumer is expected to pay through the nose for a "one-size fits all" approach

Yes they are expensive but think I ll go for it. It's the price of a decent leather pants, guess it is a personal choice, leather or textile.

I hate a sticky leather pants in hot weather.

As for the inside leg measurement, not all models are only 36. The Technik model has got all lenghts, which can be selected on the order page.

I' ll post once they are in,

Cheers
