What is Kevlar?

Kevlar® is a soft knitted non-abrasive material and is comfortable against the skin. The fabric is unique in construction and offers breathability and flexibility. The material itself is designed to dissipate heat quickly and distribute air evenly through the fibres.

How strong is Kevlar ®

Draggin K-Shirt - 100% Pure soft knitted KevlarKevlar® is a man made fibre, which offers incredible protection against abrasion, cuts and heat. Five times stronger than steel pound for pound, flame resistant up to 400 degrees Celsius and exceptionally cut and slash resistant.

Kevlar® in various forms is used in ropes that tie up ships, clothing worn by saw-millers, firefighters, glass handlers and air force pilots, tank armour, aeroplane wings and lightweight canoes.

Probably the best known is the production of bullet proof vests! Although constructed in a different way (lets face it who wants to wear a bullet proof vest on their arse!)

The knitted Kevlar fabric cannot be easily ripped, torn or damaged in any way apart from manually cutting with scissors and the like.

The Draggin' Jeans Kevlar® is fully machine washable / dryable and requires no maintenance, they look good, feel comfortable and most importantly... they work!

Draggin Products, enhancing the pleasure and safety of motorcycling.

General Features of KEVLAR® :

* High Tensile Strength at Low Weight.
* Low Elongation to Break High Modulus (Structural Rigidity).
* Low Electrical Conductivity.
* High Chemical Resistance.
* Low Thermal Shrinkage.
* High Toughness (Work-To-Break).
* Excellent Dimensional Stability.
* High Cut Resistance.
* Flame Resistant, Self-Extinguishing.

Draggin Jeans Testing

How do we know how tough our jeans really are?

We conducted our own drag tests at Calder Park Raceway in Melbourne. The concept was simple, attach a victim to a modified drag car and maybe a Harley Davidson or two and drag him on his arse up the drag strip!

Well ... 140 kph and 300 metres later the jeans basically spoke for themselves. Not only did our victim survive but he wanted to do it again! Not a scratch on him and the jeans were still in good enough shape for another run.

All in all 12 drags were conducted and the respect of all involved was gained. They ain't called Draggin' Jeans for nothing you know!
