Teknic chicane leather jacket

algerath · August 28th, 2011, 07:09 PM

I just picked up a teknic chicane leather jacket for a good price ,I think, today.
I searched the forums but didn't find a lot of opinions on it. Anybody got one? How do you like it? Has it held up well? Ever crash in it? Ever get attacked with a belt sander in it?

I also got a set of the chicane leather gloves, my first set of long gloves, my old ones were short. Same ?s

I bought them kind of spur of the moment at the vendor area at the motogp today without a lot of research. The last red/white one in the shop was my size so I jumped. Much lower price than mc superstore, much much lower than msrp.

There nice jackets. Dont think there really making them any more

Miss mine, should have bought one when they were on close out last year

Think theres a pic of mine in the "crashed" section

< Both jacket and gloves held up nice.

MC superstore still listed them, one just like it was in stock. They may just be selling out the last of the inventory though.

That would explain why I got a good deal on it if it was a closeout/discontinued item. Doesn't really matter I guess. I got a leather jacket way cheaper than I otherwise could have, and it seems to be of decent quality so I am happy

Your right, doesnt matter closeout or not.. There really nice jackets, pants are real good too.
Iam still kicking myself, new enough had mine for 130.. I had paid 300 back in the day. Just thought it was a bad omen to get another one.. Turns out it didnt really make a difference

They were going on close out because they were coming out with a new jacket. I'm actually going to purchase the new 2012 version. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com...l.bok?no=12931

Here are some pics:

Well guys I put the money down on the new 2012 white Teknic Chicane Leather Jacket!! Should be here at home on the 25!!!

NDspd · November 28th, 2011, 12:25 PM

Ok, I'm not a happy rider right now. Damn motorcycle superstore sent me the wrong color (red). Errr.....and I realized I went a size too big (44). So, I'm sending the wrong one back today via UPS and I reordered the white one in the size 42. So hopefully it should arrive by the 1st, or atleast that's what they say.

So once the real jacket arrives I'll to a video and pics of it.

Thanks for hanging in there.

I just got one of the older styles in blue. I wanted either red or white/silver, but it was only $130 so I couldn't pass it up. I dont have any other jackets to compare it to, but it feels as good or better than most jackets I see in the stores.

Oh really? What ever works man, I wanted to get the 2012 model just cuz...In fact it looks like UPS will have my correct one here today! I'll take a video review and some pics as well.

My 42\Black will be here today as well. I got pants with it also. Cannot wait. I am hoping it is here by lunch so I can rock it back to work.

Great man!! Take some pics and let us know how it is...I'll do the same. Mine should be here from now until 5pm...so we'll see.

Do they have back armor, or just elbows and shoulders? $130 is a steal with back armor, or foam that can be replaced. Great deal.

It has foam for the back and CE certified shoulder and elbow protectors. I may replace the back protector another day.

I so wanted it to be home when I went there for lunch, but it was not. It should be there when I get home from work at 4:30, but I have my office party this evening. I will try to snap some pics while the missus is getting ready.

LOl...Mine isn't here yet either, I think the mail services are backup with Cyber Monday shipments. They usually get to my house by 3 to 4pm...so I guess we'll have to wait.

NDspd · December 2nd, 2011, 05:19 PM

YEAH!!! It's here guys and I'm loving it sooo much. This is such a great, high quality jacket, although the wrist zippers could be a little better, it is still super cool.

Here are some pics:

Vampyre · December 4th, 2011, 05:09 PM

Here's pics of mine. I got the Chicane pants too.

coondog · December 4th, 2011, 06:46 PM

With the racing rear accomodation I'd definetly slide CE in there. Nice tops!

NDspd · December 4th, 2011, 08:39 PM

What's a "racing rear accommodation"???

Nice black Vampyre!! I figured the I wanted to be more visible with the red or white. How does the Chicane pants fit? Quality? Features? How it stacks up against competition?
