Snagged a pair of Alpinestars Axiom denim jeans this week. After searching through every manufacturer or kevlar jeans for weeks they seemed to offer the slim cut and good looks that meant I could pass them off as my regular jeans during a night out. Overall the fit is very good, much like my 501's, but the waist runs a size small. luckily my 31 waist just squeezes into the 32 I bought. Kevlar panels in the knee and seat as well as pockets for knee armor should add a bit of confidence over my traditional Levi's if the unfortunate happens. Another awesome product from Alpinestars.
