Any extra protection, is good protection.
Although, I do not own a pair, I hear good things about them.

Draggin is good.

Cortech is better.

I was thinkin about them, but I am going to pick up some of the bohn underamor pants instead, and just wear that underneath regular jeans. Gives you more options, and I think that the Bohn product offers a higher level of protection.

I have the Cortechs and couldn't be happier. Off the bike, the knee armor kind of rubs you funny. But, on the bike, it's fine.

I wouldn't expect the armor to stay in place, should I go down, though. They just don't fit like leathers do. I only wear them for casual rides, anyway.

I have a pair of the "classic" Draggin Jeans. Great protection, and you have to read their testimonials- like the two old guys on tour that wrecked and the EMT couldn't cut through the jeans

Thing is, the classic feel like old man pants. Too tight in the hips for my tastes. I got them for a great price (like $80) and thought they'd break in. (I think they shrank) The loose fit 32s almost fit me, and mine are 34s, so that might be the way to go. They have cargoes on the US site, and I think the australia site has zip-off cargo short deals.

I just ordered a pair of the Mod Denim pants. Looked at the DSX too, but couldn't see any difference.

I'm considering getting a pair of Icon's Anthem pants if I can find them under $110. Supposed to be the same coverage as Draggin with more style.

Were they when they first came out? They now have velcro'd pockets... the first pair I got they slid around, now they stay RIGHT where they should.

That may be the only difference between the Mod and DSX.
