Overpriced.
Just fishing line sown into the material. Lots of other brands do similar (eg Draggin) for a cheaper price
lol really? show me links to all these other brands that have the Kevlar as part of the denim fabric and not just sewn in as a second layer inside. while you are at it, show me a pair of draggins that are less than $240!
i agree that these are overpriced though. most brand name jeans, like anything else, are overpriced. I have had a few pairs of RHOK jeans and crash tested them.

not bad for $135
side note… do they use kevlar/aramid fibres for fishing line?
Those RHOK jeans don't look too bad. What kind of crash did you have with them on? I was going to get a second pair of draggins but they are expensive and if these do the job. I can't see why I won't get a pair!
i got clipped from behind at around 50km, slid for a bit and then ended up with the bike on my leg. a few holes/tears in the denim, but the kevlar looked like nothing happened. kevlar is made by elves i'm sure lol! it's incredible stuff.

More reviews here instead of just the one.
I've had a few pairs of kevlar/aramid jeans. Most comfortable by a country mile are these. No official testing results/rating but good coverage all over and extremely comfortable. Don't waste your time with the Aldi ones either, they were terrible.
Bear in mind these are only good when you are sliding.
If you pick a fight with a pole / curb / car / anything stationary these won't do anything for you.
now he tells me….
The fitting was for people who definitely skip leg days last time I tried these on
The reviews suggest they were made for Harley riders: keg on skinny legs type body shape:)
Likely useful for situations when you ride your bike while wearing sneakers and no gloves as per their photos.
