Review of Gear

Just got in the following:

Velocity Juggernaught Armor Top (XL)
4 out of 5 stars - excellent fit solid construction and armor
The material breathes nicely a little snug, but great.
Just have to find a jacket that works with it.

Draggin Jeans - (36") heavy denim, early 90's high rise fit (think 90210) but manageable - should loosen up after a few rides.
4 out of 5 stars - should have got the optional knee armor.
I would not ride with out these - my only suggestion, can we get some newer styles like low rise and boot cut - heck distress them a little too.

Bohn Cool Air Pants - Mesh (L) 2 out of 5 stars
This was a tough one - great fit but you better go up 2 sizes in your jeans - also even at room temp these things were hot under the Draggin Jeans. I can see myself wearing these once I slim down to a 34" waist in the winter Truthfully they really constrict "Mr.Happy" if you know what I mean...


So this brings me to a question for the forum - I really want some CE low profile knee armor to augment the Draggin Jeans - any suggestions?

Hope my review was helpful -

Joe Rocket makes some jeans with abrasion panels in the knees and seat called Steel Jeans. These are a bit more stylish than the Draggin Jeans for at or around the same price. A link to NewEnough on the appropriate page is below:
