once you try out your Defenders, would you report back to us the pro's and con's; if any. Especially the shrinkage factor. Thanks in advance.

Nice looking jean, a little high priced IMHO but they are supposed to offer protection.

Does Kevlar really offer abrasion protection ? I'm not sure this is what I found:

* Kevlar

Close weave kevlar is effective but doesn't slow you down (the world
is waiting for a kevlar suit with little moulded rubber lumps on it
for braking). Unfortunately, most of the kevlar used in protective
clothing is loose or open- weave type. This is not much good because
the first impact with the ground destroys the weave of the kevlar and
there is little left to protect the skin. If there are two layers then
the performance is much better because the first layer protects the
second layer which does the sliding.

Just don't ask me to "test" them and report back. :-)
