DRAGGIN HOLESHOT SAVED MY SKIN. AND MY LIFE.

When Grant Mackintosh first invented Draggin he was inspired to make the safest jeans in the world. Draggin Holeshot is the safest jean in the world (and in fact safer than traditional motorcycle gear).

Rob Selby put the safety in his Holeshot to the ultimate test when he was run over by a semi. He somehow lives to tell his tale. We have shared the message we received from Rob.

CRASH VICTIM:

WEDNESDAY, 25TH APRIL 2018
OAKBLUFF INTERSECTION
ROB SELBY’S TALE

Thank you for the jeans!

I have/had a pair of Holeshot pants and I put them to the test Tuesday April 24 2018. I was at an intersection and as I went through, a semi driver who was on his phone drove through a red light. I saw him about 5ft away and tried to lay my bike down. He T-boned me about 6" in front of my leg, hammered my bike, and dragged me 30ft.

It's a 53ft trailer weighing 80,000lbs, hitting me at 65km/hr!

I was lucky - I survived, I didn't break any bones, and because of my pants all I have is bruising on my legs. Without my jeans the pavement would have made me look like lasagna, and the exhaust from the Ducati as it landed on my leg would have burnt it horribly.

As it is, I barely have a mark... Not one really knows why I survived.

So, thank you!! Your pants saved my legs from devastation.

At Draggin stories like Rob's remind us the purpose Draggin serves is to get our fellow riders home safe. These words from Rob really sum it up well.

"Please use my testimony. I sent it to you because I bought your jeans blind. I read reviews and decided that, even though these cost more than a lot of products out there, the reviews sold me. These jeans are something you buy and hope you never use. That said, if I need them, they damn well better work! These things were the best investment I have made on myself. The skin grafts and stitches I would have required over my entire lower body... The doctor even said these pants "literally saved my ass." I hope that nobody ever has to put them to the test, but that is an impossible hope. So my next best hope is that they have your jeans."
