Rizla Suzuki and Draggin continue partnership

From Rizla Suzuki

Rizla Suzuki MotoGP has confirmed its continuing relationship with Draggin as its official jeans supplier.

Draggin will supply Álvaro Bautista and the Rizla Suzuki crew with its range of protective jeans for the third season in succession. Draggin will also supply the team's cargos and shorts. The tough working conditions of a MotoGP pit-box are perfectly matched to Draggin products and the whole team will benefit from using the Australian company's designs.

For road riding, Draggin are lined with a revolutionary hybrid of knitted Dyneema, the World's Strongest Fibre, and Kevlar, which makes them so strong that they can withstand at least 4.4 seconds of abrasion resistance while also being lightweight and comfortable.

Draggin is the maker of the only CE Approved motorcycle jean in the world. Grant Mackintosh founded Draggin in 1997 and shortly began marketing his new invention by literally putting his backside on the line to prove the quality of his product. Mackintosh was dragged behind a motorbike, with the drag test starting out at a slow pace and gradually building up to over 110km/h. Video footage of the now famous drag test can be viewed on Draggin's own website at www.dragginjeans.net.
