Cheeky, i got one of these last Spring and it is very comfy.
Comes with shoulder, elbow and back protection and a warm removable liner and front, rear and arm air vents.
In white with black sleeves or black.
The white is much better in direct sun than black jackets.
About $230.00.
I bought it at the local dealer.

I wear a dri-rider summit 2 jacket with jeans or camo's I got from the states which aren't draggin but have the same panels as draggins. Don't own leathers yet cause I need custom made (ie 2 fat for off the rack stuff lol) & when I've had $$ to get some made something has always popped up & taken said money. Always long pants, jacket good gloves, helmet & alpine stars.

I wear a Dainese Leather jacket usually (very comfy and still like new after 10 years). On hot days I wear an Rjays All Seasons jacket with the liners out. These mesh jackets seem to have all the armour in all the right places but I'm not sure if it'll stay there in an accidentUndecided?

Usually wear jeans or Tradie Pants (for work), and shorts are out of the question.

Alpine star boots, that I love. Feel great to ride in and look discreet under jeans. Had to wear runners the other day on the bike and didn't feel right, almost felt nakedEmbarassed.

Alpine star gloves (SP3 I think) for warm weather. I'm a huge fan of them. Definately the best gloves I've owned. Very flexible and proving to be hardwearing.

I've tried a couple different pairs of lined gloves for cold days but they all feel too stiff and lack feel through them. My hands always seem to be the first part of me to feel the cold. I'm thinking of trying Damart or similar thermal gloves under normal gloves? If anyone can suggest a good glove or idea for winter I'm keen to try it out?

Tempozzy, try Bikers Gear on ebay their in Victoria for their winter gauntlets soft as, plenty of feel and warm as toast. Dririder or other brands make nice thermal gloves to fit in your normal riding gloves to assist on cool days.

Was wearing Draggins when i came off couple of months ago and a mesh Jacket (white hayabusa jacket) pants only a small hole no skin missing jacket nearly wore through compliments of a barbed wire fence and rode up and lost some skin on my love handles.....definatley would not ride now (even down the shop) with out a jacket with Impact protection and at least kevlar reinforced jeans of some type..but a serious ride or even highway distance ride definatley zip together leathers they are so comfy and so much safer with impact protection and less chance of losing any skin if you have an off with zipped together two peice....I also invested in a back and kidney protector as i was only cm away from doing myself a serious back and Kidney injury.
I'd rather be riding my Hayabusa thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my Hayabusa

My wet/winter gloves are Collins RS3(?) from memory. Great gloves. My summer gloves are Collins vented leather, brilliant.
I also just got a pair of Rjay Speed 2 boots for wearing to work. They look like high top basketball boots sort of, they have internal ankle cup protection, thicker leather etc, have the standard motorcycle boot harder sole (as normal boots would flex too much over the rear set pegs & my feet would kill before I got to work (60km trip).
I would definately recommend them as a casual type riding boot.
Long or "spirited" trips I wear my stars tho.

Result Draggin Jeans ............ comfy but expensive work pants Wtf Leather as it slides .................. fabric just doesn't cut it.


what the frig were you doing jogging in draggin jeans???

hubs is a concretor and i would think he would think twice about wearing his draggins as work pants,thats left too his levis 504,s.


thats where you went wrong oh dear you were out being healthy!!!!!Lol3

lordy!!! my wordy lordy yes in deedy...Roll


but seriously this is the first time i have heard a bad thing about the draggins.

humbussa has made me rethink my gear as in yes two piece gear has the tendancy too separate therefore you can get injuries between clothingPi_freak

The acceptable actual for motorcycle accouterment is covering but blubbery nylon and added constructed abstracts plan able-bodied too.You donâ€t absolutely wish to be ripping your skin accessible aural beneath than bisected a additional of falling of your bike do you? Thought not. The aforementioned attempt will administer to jackets. Impact protecton can be bought alone like back protectors and so on, but always consider the area you're most accessible. And make sure that if you buy appulse aegis you in fact wear it!
