But it looks like you didn't roll the top 2/3 times before securing it with the buckles. That will give the bag the 100% waterproof. Greetings from the Netherlands

does it restrict arm movement like other motorcycle gear ? i'm looking at this for electric unicycle riding, so i'd prefer to have freedom in arm movement, and probably the motorcycle when/if i get my license.

It's a lot less restrictive than a leather jacket, the material has got some stretch so I think it would be a good compromise.

I purchased the Knox Urbane Pro Mk3 in July 2023. I’m a weekend warrior and I’ve put less than 40 hours of use on my jacket when the cuffs began to fray. I wrote the company directly as well as sending photos, to which they responded , that the frayed cuffs were a result of repeated abrasion from gloves, or likely wear from the Velcro closure on gloves. They said that they would not replace the jacket or refund my money. I was disappointed to say the least, particularly when “abrasion resistance“ is the company’s advertisement lead. Clearly, the material used at the cuffs is flimsy at best, and inconsistent with the durability of the rest of the jacket. I pride myself on taking meticulous care of my equipment, and for the company to suggest that the use of gloves on a motorcycle jacket caused this premature wear and damage is ridiculous and outrageous. These companies have a captive audience as well as regulatory capture to inflate their prices, and to advertise an abrasion resistant armored shirt that is now literally falling apart at the seams after less than 40 hours of use is shameful.
@sneakypurpleninja2 ай бұрын
I reading your comment I checked my jacket and I don't have that problem, maybe because I don't use the thumb loops and I don't use the same gloves (I alternate through Dianese, Knox and Alpinestars) Either way it's not good customer support. It does alter my perspective of the company.
