Drag Test

We tested a pair of K7 jeans by dragging them for ¼ of a mile at 50 mph. To create extra friction we made the jeans very heavy by filling them with off-cuts of Para-Aramid. As the photographs show, the denim has damage through abrasion and tearing as well as being scorched by the excess heat that was generated.

The yellow woven Para-Aramid lining remained totally intact. This test backs the excellent reports we have had from customers who have had ‘spills’ proving the woven Para-Aramid performs very well if the worst should happen.

‘Real World’ Feedback

I was involved in a major road accident at the end of June. I was hit by a car changing lanes and came off the bike at around 70mph, losing consciousness in the process. I escaped any sort of major injury despite the K7 jeans and the armour being badly damaged in the process. I’m very glad I had these as I’d only bought them a few weeks prior to the accident and as you can see from the attached pictures, the knee took a lot of damage. The A&E department at the hospital were quite amazed that I’d not damaged my hips or got anything more than bruising to my knees.

Thanks!

I just want to thank you for a great product.  I received my K-7 jeans for my birthday in August.  This morning, I lowsided my Triumph Bonneville in a highway construction zone on a patch of loose tarmac.  The jeans kept me from getting any scrapes, performing their job wonderfully.

“Unfortunately, I lowsided my Bandit at about 40/45MPH a couple of weeks ago, the bike was written off but I was fine. One of the main reasons that I was fine was due to the fact I was wearing a pair of your “Army Green trousers”. My right knee was the first part of me to hit the tarmac and it took most of the abrasive force before I rolled away from the bike.
Owing to the force of the abrasion, both layers of Aramid were nearly worn through but they did their job and literally saved my skin
