[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 290541, member: 329"] There isn't an easy answer to your question since (1) the testing method used for abrasion resistance may understate how much abrasion resistance the mesh actually has, and (2) Wayne stated in his seminars that tear resistance is more important than abrasion resistance for street riding (vs track) because street riders usually hit the ground with more force but don't slide as far as track riders. The mesh pants have a layer of 1000 denier cordura under the mesh in the seat area so that area is really protected in a slide. The only thing that is important is how well the mesh actually protects you in an accident and Wayne stated that to date, no one wearing the Kevlar mesh has ever suffered a skin abrasion although a couple of riders have managed to make some small holes in the mesh.
