THIS has been a big year for specialist Australian protective clothing manufacturer Draggin Jeans.
Earlier this year the company was able to announce that it had won a prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its 'Holeshot' jeans - said to be the world's first product to be approved to CE EN13595-1:2002, Level 2.
The company has also signed a licensing agreement with DuPont to use Kevlar in its Classic jeans. The company says that the protective lining it uses in its jeans " passes all the safety tests for CE Level 1, offering two and a half times the abrasion resistance of the next best motorcycle jeans tested".
“This is a big deal for Draggin, motorcyclists and the wider motorcycling community,” says Grant Mackintosh, founder and CEO of Draggin Jeans. “We are concerned with the safety of motorcyclists and that is why we are proud to become an official licensee of DuPont™ Kevlar® fibre for our motorcycle jeans.” Draggin has for many years worked on producing the highest safety for motorcyclists, and its products have been tested through certified methods to be fit for purpose. Draggin has always rigorously tested their products to ensure safety.
Grant Mackintosh said: “For me this license is an important part of Draggin’s technical development, and I am excited about the steps forward we will make during the relationship with DuPont".
