I used to ride with Draggin Jeans however switched to pants also with knee armor (and then knee + hip armor) after reading that relatively few riders slide on their bum Vs hitting their hip or knee on the ground when involved in an accident.
However knee armor in pants does tend to make the pants ride up my legs regardless of how I adjust the pads or the brand and model.
After my last ride to the New England Tablelands I decided to try find a solution as besides letting in the cold and causing wind chaff I need pants to stay down near my boots on the upcoming tour should I encounter rain to stay dry as well as to keep warm.
I obtained these clamps/straps very reasonably priced from eBay (look awhile the prices vary wildly) and tried them out last ride. Happy to say they work perfectly, they did not intrude yet held the pants in place. They are adjustable for length and the clamps held fast all day yet do not a fix in a way to damage your clothes.
