I just pickup a pair of the BMW Jeans and they are great....expensive...but
great. They have a good fit,  they are very comfortable, and  they look
great.
On mine, I did remove the nee armor as I am more interested in just not
getting any road rash. I hate that stuff.
The BMW jeans are fully reinforced with Kevlar...but in wearing  them you'd
never guess it. I am going to get 2 more pairs myself.
