So.... What's in Your Closet? - Page 6

shortstuff · June 16th, 2009, 05:26 PM

There's not too many lady-riders in my group, so it's been really neat to see what other chicks are wearing. And I'm looking at a sizing chart right now for the Savannah Pants

My lineup:

Scorpion EXO-700: Some complain about the excess of wind that comes up under the helmet, but I don't mind it. You can buy a chin-bra if it bugs you.

Shift Mesh Jacket

Ladies Joe Rocket Gloves: love the armor they come with

Set-Up Racing Boots: My hiking boots were too little, but $500 Sidi's were too much. These boots are perfectly in the middle-- armor in the toe and shins, calf protection-- but it doesn't break the bank.

And the most ghetto 2pc leather suit ever... made by a manufacturer in Pakistan that I can't even find on the internet. But it's an extra small, and after cutting off 4 inches of the pant leg, it fits! lol It's also blue and white, and my bike and helmet are red (first bike was black). You can only imagine the comments that I get for being the ultimate fashion faux-pas on two wheels.

I need to stop being a broke college student so I can afford a flattering 1-pc!

patw · June 16th, 2009, 06:47 PM

KBC Helmet - not a damn clue the model, all it says is MotoDesign along top. It's a dual flip, and it's probably the best part of my gear.

Now this is where it gets bad...

Jacket - Joe Rocket Honda Branded.
Pants - Joe Rocket... Honda Branded.
Gloves - Joe Rocket... yep Honda Branded.
Boots - Joe Rocket (guess the branding?)

So I ride around on the Ninja (bright green Ninja...) in full Honda gear, which makes me really easy to identify, but it certainly doesn't win any points for style.

The gear came as part of the "Go" package when I bought my CBR125R last year, and replacing it has proven to be too expensive at this point. I may sell the gear to a Honda rider one day, if the opportunity comes up. The Joe Rocket gear has been decent so far, the boots rock, the pants are a bit uncomfortable but the jacket feels good enough to wear all the time. The low point of the setup is the gloves, they're terrible and the velcro pops off while I'm riding.

Here's a pic of the gear, and my old bike:

kkim · June 16th, 2009, 07:48 PM

lol... use whatever's comfortable and works. if anyone should ever ask you about Honda gear on a Kawasaki, look surprised and say, " OMG... I rode away on the wrong bike from that last rest stop!!!"

Initial impression: SOOOOOOOO in love with this jacket. Good leather quality, awesome little detailing- zipper pull is a skullie, stitching is nice and tight, there is some perforated leather under the arms. Corset straps on the side for sizing, and it says "Hell Bent, Heaven Sent" on the zipper flap :P Back, side and shoulder vents.

Sizing: runs large. I got a L and returned it for a M; I'm usually a L so I was surprised. Better than the alternative I guess? Very long in the sleeves.

Fit: Awesome. Only felt a little stiff out of the box; lots of room in the chest and the side buckles snug it up nicely. Liner is quilted.

Obviously I can't wear test it but from lounging around on the couch with it, it's fantastic.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering the sizing of that one! This thread is great!

I love that idea. Seriously, 99% of people on the road a) won't notice/can't tell what model bike you're riding and b) are too in awe that you're biking in the first place to care.

Argh. I can be such a schmuck sometimes.

So this is the second textile jacket I've ruined, or at least partially ruined, through a non-motorcycling event. Quite a few years ago, on a long road trip, I draped my jacket over the bike, and after I came back I realized I had burned a huge hole through one of the sleeves as it was resting on the exhaust pipe. Dumbass.

So I got a new jacket, which has actually held up well for 6 or 7 years at this point. Until I go to wash it from the intense bug swarm it slammed into this past weekend. Washed fine, put it in the dryer for 20 minutes delicate, which has worked fine in the past, even though it says not to use it in the dryer.

And it ripped a huge hole in the shoulder, completely destroying the fabric. Unfixable, and not worth fixing at this point, looking at how worn the fabric had become over the years anyway. So I ordered a new jacket.

Thx for all the recommendations for newenough.com. I priced out what I wanted by calling around locally, and turns out that their pricing is the cheapest I found. I found others equivalent, but none cheaper, and they've got such a good rep I figured I'd give them a shot. So in a few days, I should have this hanging in my closet:

link on newenough.com

Have had great luck with the brand, and in fact earlier versions of the same jacket. Comfy in all conditions, can fit an electric liner underneath as needed, CE armor, holds up well for years and years, and it's reasonably inexpensive. With luck I'll have it in hand in time for this Saturday's ninjette ride, but if not you'll see me in that ancient jacket with a hole burned through its sleeve.

kkim · June 23rd, 2009, 09:17 PM

lol... I have the previous gen kilimanjaro. It's a great jacket and really has a lot of pockets.

Like they said, though, it does run a bit big for the sizing. I wished I had bought one size smaller than I did, though this is my dual sport jacket and I might want to wear some armor under it someday, so the over sizing could come in handy.

Very high quality jacket.... good choice.

Alex · June 23rd, 2009, 09:23 PM

I had the Gen 1 and the Gen 2, this one is apparently the Gen 5, though some retailers are just calling this new one the Kilimanjaro with no version number. Sort of like the Star Trek reboot.

kkim · June 23rd, 2009, 09:25 PM

I have the "Khan" version, which is black and grey. I see you went with the "fairy" version.

nah... I like that white/grey color combo... wasn't offered in the gen I have.

Alex · June 23rd, 2009, 09:38 PM

I was torn between the all black (with a smidge of grey), or this one, which is mostly silver with a little dark grey. It looks whiter in these photos than it does in person, but it still might start looking dirty earlier than my darker jackets. Here's a link to an online retailer that shows all 6 of the color options on one page.

kkim · June 23rd, 2009, 09:45 PM

well if it get dirty, just throw it in the washer... oh wait, that's how you got in this predicament in the first place.

I would get the color you did or the Hi Vis yellow for safety's sake.... you know me and visibility.

No pants mate? If you can have 2 helmets and 2 pair of boots, you should be able to have 1 pair of pants

cwb48 · June 24th, 2009, 06:21 AM

HJC CL-MAX helmet, Alpinestars One-0-One jacket, Alpinestars Bat pants, Tourmaster Solution Road boots, and various gloves according to the weather.

I also have a 20 year old Hein Gericke California II that's still in excellent shape, although it's really not a jacket that provides any protection (glove leather and no armor).

RSman · June 24th, 2009, 11:49 AM

Helmet: Shoei RF-1000 (light Silver)
Jacket: Cortech GX sport 2 Textile (silver)
Pants: not sure whether I should go with full pants or knee guards, for the time being I wear Levis.

Those with Fulmer helmets: How do they fit? I love their design/shape but no local shops sell them.

ninjabrewer · June 24th, 2009, 05:45 PM

Ordered Scorpion Deuce pants Monday from NewEnough, the arrived today. 2 days. Looked at the FedEx tracking site, they were shipped from Anaheim, about 15 min down the road. If I had known that I would have went down and picked them up.

Now a BOOT question. Are they comfortable enough to walk around in some, not a hiking trip. Maybe a stroll around the mall or around at Newsomes during breakfast. I am looking at the A* MX-4, found them for 149 on clearance.

Your comments appreciated.

nb

noche_caliente · June 24th, 2009, 06:52 PM

I have the A* SM something or anothers, you can see them in my earlier post in this thread - and I wear them for several hours on my feet... They tend to get warm, but they're good! Remember, I need double knee replacements and wear tennis shoes most all of the time to keep the knees happy - and they're fine with the boots. Just make sure your socks are high enough to come past the tops of them, as they can be a bit irritating ot the skin if they're not...

Alex · June 25th, 2009, 02:05 PM

Newenough was true to their rep, and the jacket arrived this morning, exactly as ordered and earlier than I would have expected... One thing that I'm curious about is that these jackets no longer have a velcro strap to tighten the neck portion, like the gen 1 and gen 2 versions did. But it does have a bunch of other new adjustments, that were useful in getting it to fit just right. First ride test will be on the ninjette ride this Saturday...

So how do you like the apex air pants. I was looking at them for a summer pant.

Just an update I got the Apex Air perf pants from Tourmaster. They fit nicely but they are still hot the perf helps a lot but it's still warm. I like them just wish they were flat black to match the jacket. They are just a tiny bit glossy.

I'm still new to riding, so if any of the more seasoned riders have any gear recommendations I would appreciate it. Thanks

So far I like them, they are easy to take on and off with the zipper in the sides. They are a bit on the warm side wearing pants underneath, the mesh in the thigh area has a layer underneath and the air flow is less than u think. Also, if you are on the edge of the size chart and will be wearing them over regular pants, go 1 size up like newenough recommends. Mine are snug, borderline tight with pants on. With shorts on going to the beach they are fine. Would I buy them again, I 'll say yes.

Don't know anything about the A*'s so I really can't comment on them.

Terri-Lyn,
That's Joe Rocket, yes? I have the JR ballistic pants which are full textile and have a waterproof liner that is removable, but they don't have hip armor. I also have the JR Cleo pants which are mesh - you can see both in my post earlier in this thread... given your location I would say to go with the ballistics as they are definitely warmer, but not too warm, even on our 90* and high humidity days

seems to have all the other JR pants rolled into one. Plus I love the design, but it is on the zip off part for the mesh to be exposed. My temps are in the triple digets now, I do sweat a little but not to bad, considering. When I wear shorts under, I don't sweat at all.

I have the A* SM something or anothers, you can see them in my earlier post in this thread - and I wear them for several hours on my feet... They tend to get warm, but they're good! Remember, I need double knee replacements and wear tennis shoes most all of the time to keep the knees happy - and they're fine with the boots. Just make sure your socks are high enough to come past the tops of them, as they can be a bit irritating ot the skin if they're not... __________________________________________________ Progrip tank pad, blue rim stripes, blue Pazzos, Roaring Toyz lowering kit, Puig DB in dark smoke, Cortech sport tail, super mini tank, and saddlebags, OES swingarm spools and Intuitive frame sliders

Blog Entries: 7	Newenough was true to their rep, and the jacket arrived this morning, exactly as ordered and earlier than I would have expected... One thing that I'm curious about is that these jackets no longer have a velcro strap to tighten the neck portion, like the gen 1 and gen 2 versions did. But it does have a bunch of other new adjustments, that were useful in getting it to fit just right. First ride test will be on the ninjette ride this Saturday... __________________________________________________ Montgomery Street Motorcycle Club / cal24.com / crf250l.org / ninjette.org ninjette.org Terms of Service Shopping for motorcycle parts or equipment?

I think that people are going to reveal their inner demons and secrets... Then, I click the link and it's a bit disappointing. __________________________________________________ "This is my Ninja.
