Jump on this deal! (jackets)

jmgrande · September 9th, 2010, 06:32 PM

I picked my bike this summer and was interesting in getting a mesh jacket and another regular riding jacket with more protection then my "fashion" riding style jacket. I missed out on the Scorpion sales, but came across these today!

I don't know much about them either but the reviews are good. I took the leap. MSS has a simple return policy so I figured I'd try it. I ordered both.

Cuongism · September 9th, 2010, 08:33 PM

I believe Speed and Strength was started by the creator of Joe Rocket. He didn't like the direction it was going (poor quality, all image, etc) so he started S&S.

i ordered the texile in black...i'll let you know how it is...thanks Jon for the heads up...

awesome_r6 · September 9th, 2010, 09:30 PM

MeeShee has one (Kiss And Tell Womans) and she really likes it. Its stiff (insert smart** comment here) but thats how all new jackets are. Its a pretty baddass jacket. I might get me one.

Nice, I hope we all like them. I ordered black for the mesh and the silver for the textile.

jmgrande · September 10th, 2010, 12:02 AM

Sorry, I just realized I put two of the same links. I fixed it now. One is for the textile and one is for the mesh!

BIGT94z · September 10th, 2010, 02:31 AM

I was about to order this one, but the back of it has Michael Jordan on it. I LOVED it from the front. Not too wild about the back.

Great deals in this post though! Thanks so much for sharing!

Ally

jmgrande · September 15th, 2010, 05:51 PM

Has anyone recieved their coats, how are they?

Mine were delievered today, but I have not been home yet to check them out.

keeyu · September 15th, 2010, 06:30 PM

I got one already. They are great jackets for that price.

dicer20 · September 15th, 2010, 07:28 PM

i got mine today... i have to return it it is too big.. i ordered a smaller size...it's a good jacket ...and for the price you cannot go wrong...it's starting to get chilly around here so the texile is perfect

Rosie · September 15th, 2010, 08:39 PM

Got mine today too, but I didn't like it so I will return it

It made me look like a football player, the "hump" on the back was really uncomfortable and the liner did not extend to the arms.. a bit disappointed, really

dubojr1 · September 16th, 2010, 05:11 AM

Got mine yesterday and for the money I am impressed. The guards on the shoulder do look like a little much but they should stand their ground if ever needed.

vnranger · September 19th, 2010, 03:05 PM

just ordered the textile in blue! Thank you for the info.

dicer20 · September 22nd, 2010, 07:16 PM

got my jacket today...fits great...the shoulders do make me look like i'm a football player...but i got the jacket for protection not for looks... the armor feels good and sturdy....overall good jacket for the price...thanks again for the heads up

vnranger · September 22nd, 2010, 09:22 PM

Can't believe it but it's true.Placed oder on Sunday morning and received Monday noon,Fits great,realy warm.Thanks again for the info.

jmgrande · September 23rd, 2010, 02:04 PM

No problem glad mostly everyone is happy!

I wasn't sure about my jackets at first, but after a first couple rides with my textile one, I love it!

muffinman · September 24th, 2010, 03:10 PM

Hey guys, good find. I ordered and received the Twist of Fate textile jacket about a week ago.. couldn't believe the price.

PROS: Looks sharp, will keep me nice in cozy for those cooler, morning rides. Nice external shoulder protectors and the back slider is a nice touch as well. Very adjustable sleeves / wrist area, with velcro, zipper and button clasp all helping you adust. I REALLY like the elbow/forearm adjusters... textiles tend to fit me looser than leather and I hate how the armor moves around so the option to buckle them down tighter is NICE

CONS: If you're in warm-weather, get the mesh, the jacket doesn't flow that well. While teh forearm adjusters ARE nice to have, they do pop off too easily.. I've had it tightened only to have the adjusters pop off int he middle of the ride.

They fit a little... baggy... maybe I'm used to tighter Euro-style leathers but my Alpinestars textile had a more form-fitting fit. In this jacket, though it's the correct size, I still look like I'm trying out for the football team when I wear it (maybe it's the external shoulder pads?)

Great deal for $50
