DRAGGIN' JEANS...

[OZZY]

SINCE I CANT AFFORD A FULL SET OF LEATHERS AT THIS TIME, IM LOOKING INTO A SET OF THE ICON DRAGGIN JEANS, PREFERRABLY THE RECON'S. HOW TRU DO THEY RUN TO SIZE. I HAVE A 38 INCH WAIST WITH A 32 INCH INSEAM. SHOULD I ORDER I SIZE LARGER FOR SAFE MEASURES OR ORDER MY TRU SIZE?? ANY INPUT WOLD BE AWESOME.

THANKS,

DAVID

dunno, make sure you try them on and get on the bike. If they don't fit, send'em back

 

[OZZY]

i know i could do that but im just too impatient to send them back and wait longer. i like things to be done right the first time. but then again i think im living in a perfect world and then reality sets in. hell, i ordered my windscreen yesterday and im already anxious for the shop to call me and tell me it is in. i need help!!!

i ordered the camo pants in size 36... and they run tight. I need to get 38's or lose a little bit of weight. I just dont feel like sending them back to Australia and ordering another set, so I put them up for sale on this site in case anyone that is a 34 wants to buy them. they are still brand new with tags.

They run true for me.

the ones i got fit just as good as levis of the same size.

I have recons they fit good. I wear 40 x 34 and my 40's fit me good. They are tight but that is my beer gut talking and they fit higher than regular pants.

 

[OZZY]

thanks for the input fellas!!! keep it coming!!!

 

[BlueHaya]

I would put mine on for pics....but thats just a little too far.

If sponsor cant help you out check with sandhillpowersports.

I bought the regular Draddin jeans brand in size 38 waist 32 length and they fit perfect.

 

[OZZY]

ah come on blue, not even to help a fellow rider get a better idea of the fitment of the product?? where is the love man???

I think they're snug, just this side of tight. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go the next size up (I got the anthems). And the waist does sit up pretty high, it feels more snug then it should when hunched over on your motorcycle. Come to think of it, I'd probably go with real "DragginJeans", which I did end up doing (ended up exchanging for longer size, same waist). Another big reason with going with the DragginJeans is that the Kevlar coverage is significantly better. The aramid on the Icon Anthems have decent coverage on the knees, but the part covering your butt doesn't really - it's only something like 3 inches below your belt!! Draggin Jeans go a few inches below your butt cheeks. Another less expensive option are Slider Jeans from CompetitionAccessories.com. They have the similar Kevlar coverage as the DragginJeans but are something like $20 cheaper.

Hope that helps.

Sandhillpowersports has the Icon Recon for $64 right now.

 

[OZZY]

cool, thanks for the heads up. im currently watching a pair on ebay for $28 and a pair of the icon barriers for 45. if i cant get either of the 2 then i will def give them a try. thanks again for the heads up.......

I have Draggins and I'd say there are pretty close to Levi or Wrangler jeans. What sucks is that they only offer even waist sizes. I'm wear a 33 waist and had a choice of 32 or 34. I chose to stay on the safe side and went with 34 which fits very loose. Not all bad as they are comfortable on long road trips.

You're looking at the wrong Draggins. They are a US based company and I don't think they are affiliated with the one from Down Under. The US Draggins allows you to pick length and quite a few different styles. Last I checked the Australian company offered only one length (which you had to hem or take to your tailor) and not much choice of style.

Hate to go a little off topic here but I got some Icon motorcycle jeans a while ago, fit right (both lenght and waist) but when I got on the bike the low inseam pulled the legs up. Leaving about 4 inches between my foot and the bottom of the pant leg.
Any problems with that in Draggin' Jeans?

 

[gat0r]

I have US jeans & had to order 1 aize up
I also have aussie cargo pants that i have to order 2 sizes up (length was fine on both)

i have a pair of the Icon Recon jeans and they run pretty true to size...BusaFan00, i don't know which ones you purchased, the Recon's have a strip of expandable material just above the knee that runs up the inside of the leg that makes them very comfortable on the bike...they don't ride up like regular jeans and are much cooler when riding in the heat

Sounds normal to me

I was curious how well these jeans fit in the thighs? I have pretty large legs, and usually only buy baggy or carpenter fit jeans to fit my legs a little better. Standard fit jeans are a no go for me. Can anyone give any input to the thigh fitment in any of the brands of these riding jeans.

Sorry to Hijack, but I figured it was on topic a good bit.
