Does anyone have any experience with Draggin Jeans?
There is an Aussie Draggin Jeans Company...

and a US Draggin Jeans company...

Both have the same name and almost identical logo, but each are not affiliated with each other. Both companies claim to be the original Draggin jeans.
I don't care which is original; I only care about the quality and internal kevlar protection.
The Aussie ones are more expensive, but the kevlar protection is built in to the knees, butt, hips, and shins of the jeans already; which (in my opinion) is more preferable then having to strap in the protection yourself. I've been told that the Aussie brand provides as much protection as mid-range proper textile motorcycle trousers with kevlar protection.
The US versions are cheaper, but they DON"T include any of the internal Kevlar protection (you have to buy them separately and insert them). The jeans themselves without the protection cost $100 USD and up!
Has anyone used either of these? Which model, and how much?
The advantage of these is that you could be protected, but if you stop and walk somewhere in the city, it looks like you're just wearing jeans, not tacky looking textile motorcycle trousers.
