Hi Guys, Im looking for a pair of Kevlar Jeans which wont break the bank and Ebay have a selection but im not too sure if they are real deal Kevlar or not. Its these ones:- Ebay Kevlar JeansThe reason for my query is that I was under the impression that Kevlar was more of a Yellow coloured material being the colour it forms after being built up by its constituent parts. The jeans here look more Lime Green ? Anyone own a pair of these or can suggest an alternative ? Im aware of the Draggin and Red Route jean brands but a bit put off by the price. £50 is more my budget than the £100+ the others are roundabout. Any advise is welcome. Cheers Tone

I'd buy them, they look the Bogs Dollocks, and the seller looks 'Kosher'

Do you think the label on them is big enough?

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

Yep they look good I personally have 2 pairs of the old style draggin jeans & the alternatives seem to have far more kevlar than mine,I would not worry about the colour of the kevlar that much as it looks about the same as mine.what i can tell you is the warmth they offer with thermals underneath I never feel the cold in these jeans but protection well that is another matter because as far as I know none of them offer any hard armour & I tried to adapt some to protect my knees? although mostly I potter around town

Seems to be why the colour is different. If they have a softer material ( towelling ) mounted over the kevlar than that would explain it.
