They are made out of kevlar. The same stuff bullet proof vests are made from. (just not as much) Kevlar is extremely tear resistant. It is also very heat resistant as well. If you ever flip and that hot exhaust is next to your legs it will burn the $hit out of your leg if you don't have riding pants on. I know from experience. They are well worth the money. That and they last longer then jeans.

On a trx250r they are a must. When I first got it I tried to ride it with shorts. I still have the burned scars. The pipe will burn your leg.

I've got 2 big burns on my leg from not wearing pants. I got them riding my 250X with shorts on. Now that I have a 250R there is no way in heck I will even attempt to ride with shorts on! Last summer I was riding with a friend (he was on a 250R) we went around a sharp corner and then all the sudden my friend stops.......I go and look what happened and he says, "guy look at my leg" I looked and on it said GOLD backwards on his leg! FMF had branded him LOL
