  1. Most importantly. I bought these.

    They are 90% nylon and 10% spandex.
    My falls often mean sliding on concrete. Are they going to shred if
    I fall while wearing jeans over them? I've worn baseball sliding
    shorts underneath jeans and they tend to wear out quickly when
    sliding on concrete.

    Can you recommend some concrete durable padded sliding shorts/pants?
    Preferably wearable in hot weather.

    Mostly curious. My shorts look like this without the large EVS
    emblem. http://store.bobscycle.com/prodimg/SHORTS.EVS.IMPACT.GIF
    Are they last year's model?

    Thank you.

  2. Once your exterior layer is breached you can't expect your underclothes
    to hold up for long. I think you would be better off looking into
    kevlar reinforced jeans or perforated leather pants if you can get
    enough ventilation. Some lightweight armor for the hip and thighs would
    be an added bonus.

    I have slid on dirt covered asphalt for a short distance with high
    nylon content bicycle shorts and experienced some mild "road rash"
    (more like a severe indian burn) on the hip without any abrasion damage
    to the shorts. If jeans can't hold up to what you're doing, then any
    stretch fabric won't be much help.

    Jeans hold up well, but road rash goes through jeans.
