I expected a thicker,meaning stronger kind of feel to the fabric,
So what are these Jeans supposed to do to the wearer in the way of protection?
The thickness of the denim matters not mate. It could be an inch thick, but as soon as you show it to tarmac at 70mph, it is gone. Its only cotton after all. And in the war of cotton vs tarmac, the black stuff wins every time.
The jeans are not supposed to do anything to the wearer. It is what they prevent from being done that is important. The yellow fabric inside is called Kevlar. It is made by a French company called DuPont. Kevlar is 5 times stronger than steel pound for pound. It is incredibly tear and heat resistant by nature. That is good news for us bikers as it is also soft and pliable, can be machine washed and fitted to almost anything.
There is plenty more info on my website, if you are interested.
