You have NOT posted where you are from, Amigo, So as far as I can find, these are not sold in the US.

I wear this brand and bought them from the US. About $240 of your Yankee beans iirc.

My only gripe is they can only be washed about 30 times before the structural integrity of the 'fabric' is comprised. I ride daily so air them at night and don't ride commando....
 

Where did you find out about their shortened life with washing?

There website info tends to rave about their "wash after wash" performance
Motor Cycle Cargo Jeans | Protection for the motor cyclist | Resurgence Gear

They appear to be 'the duck's guts'.
 
I can't remember if it was their website or a performance review/comparo between brands. The conclusion was that regardless of brand/construction or fibre used, detergents break them down over time.

I'll see if I can dig up the info because it talked about "half life' too...eg. when new the resurgence jeans are good for an 8-9 second slide at 100km/h but after X number of washes that was down to 4 seconds
 
Most of the time when I ride it is back and forth to work. Been doing a hell of that lately. To buy special pants for that seems to me to be pretty **** silly. I have a leather Jacket with pads still in and winter pants with pads still in. I will not ride with out a helmet but the idea of being so concern about getting into a bad situation that you go out and spend money on even more protection tells me one that maybe you do not ride much or you just have a lot of money to piss away. Can understand the need for it I guess.
