Speaking for pants does ANYBODY have a picture of him/her wearing the Icon/Draggins or any other reinforced jeans?

All of the mc gear looks great in the pictures but not on the actual people. I'm just wondering how those jeans look like. Because, between really ugly heans and motorcycle pants, I will take MC pants. Even if they don't look good, at least they say "hey, this is motorcycle gear and it does not have to look great!". LOL

More bulk, less comfort and can't hold a candle to textile rain protection.

Of course, if you just like the look and feel of leather pants, don't let anyone tell you it ain't right.

i don't have any textile gear...mine's all leather and it's comfy and warm. You are right though...once it gets wet, it feels like your lugging around 30 lbs of water

That's odd my TourMaster Coaster leather jacket doesn't get heavy or soggy when riding in the rain. That jacket has replaced my First Gear Kilimanjaro textile jacket for cool - cold all-weather riding. I never wore leather pants, I never liked wearing shiny clothing or one that makes an obscene noise when sitting down (it was the chair I swear).

The Draggin AU site has much better styles than the single cut of the US site. I think the Canadian site should be up and running by now too and they had a few styles to choose from.

I like the jeans. I wear them every ride. They are warmer because of the kevlar so if you live in a cooler climate they'll be nice. If you're in a warmer climate, you'll get, well, you'll get hot.

Do they make a bootcut version? I wear bootcut jeans.
