According to the Carburetor Seat standard
According to the Carburetor Seat standard abrasion test, normal jeans last 0.6 seconds, while protective motorcycle pants will last 5 seconds or more.
Think about 5 seconds of protection versus about 0.5 seconds. If you have to think very hard, you have been riding your motorcycle without a helmet again. Go with the Kevlar protected, re-enforced jeans.
You apply the same principles to jackets. You are looking for hard wearing jackets, preferably thick leather not the fancy thin fashion leather like some jackets.
