Regarding the Draggin Jeans stuff, I read a magazine article that test various riding clothing by putting weights inside and the dragging it on the ground. Some nuts in this test even tested full leathers on a track by sliding themselves intentionally off a racing sidecar at 70mph. Anyway, the kevlar reinforced jeans they tested did only slightly better than regular jeans, and were no where near the protection level of leather or tough nylon. Just an FYI but it was a long time ago and it might have been a different brand.
I'm so proud of myself for keeping this post short! :-)
