webBikeWorld.com has a review of the new Drayko Drifter Kevlar/Dyneema Jeans written by your's truly. These jeans are made by Draggin Jeans in Australia (not to be confused with the the Draggin' Jeans here in the USA) and are CE rated for abrasion and burst resistance. Here's a bit of what I had to say about them:

Looking at the inside of the Drayko Drifter jeans reveals more stitching on the inside of the main external seams. There is a third row of stitching along with another wide set stitch that secures the panels to the denim material on the inside. The panels themselves are composed of a combination of Kevlar and Dyneema, which resemble a tufted micro-fiber washcloth or rag.

Though not quite as soft as said washcloth, the material feels just OK against the skin. A bit softer feel would be welcome for all-day wearing but you pay for your protection in some loss of comfort and this is a minor cost. Speaking of protection, the Drayko Drifter jeans are supposed to meet the CE rating for abrasion resistance and burst resistance. To receive the CE rating, the material needs to be able to withstand road abrasion for up to 4 seconds without wearing through and the materials used in the Drayko Drifters lasted 4.4 seconds, according to the company.
