Drop down liner jackets and leather jackets are best used with rain protection gained with the rain over jackets. For the times when it starts to chuck it down. All major manufactureres make them and worth keeping in the back pack or pannier . You can stop and put it on to prevent wet out and any damage to the leather jacket. But as the man with a cap says it is down to how you ride and what you feel you want to wear. I havent had many of the drenching rain rides. only one I do remember was from Winchester to hull, but used a full waterproof over suit, which is another option.

ive recently got these sergeant 2 trousers, at the larger size of 40inch waist, they are too long in the leg, meaning the knee areas sit too low when on the bike and im 6ft tall. also the knee pad area is poorly shaped leaving the cheap velcro joint sitting up as its cut too wide to fit well. annoyingly i embark on a long trip tomorrow and no time to change them now. reviews have said the complete opposite to me so my advice is do not buy online, you must try them on… maybe not at motolegends though, go somewhere less pretentious. why is your man dressed like the peaky blinders dustman? 😂

I've bought the Solberg jacket and here is my first impression. Despite it's well made and I like the aesthetics, the biggest drawback is the use of the very stiff protective inserts in the shoulder and elbow areas. Hey, Halvarssons, the better L2 protection solutions exist on the market! Moreover, the shoulder and elbow areas are additionally protected with thick leather instead of textile, that makes these areas even more stiff, heavy and separate from the other part of the jacket. All of these make the jacket fit uncomfortable. I'll consider replacing the protective inserts.

I just received my Butorp gloves, and they're REALLY tight! Maybe they'll loosen up some, but right now, they're almost cutting off the circulation in my left fingers. I ordered the correct size according to their chart, but maybe I'll send them back and get a size up.

Great exposition on the Shoei range. Do you have any opinion on the LS2 Advant X Carbon v the Shoei Neotec 3? The one major difference between the two is that the chin on the LS2 flips back completely, whereas on the Neotec 3, it's a flip-up, which impacts the modularity of the helmet. But, on the overall build, features, and comfort levels, how would you compare the two?

Wow! What an excellent video indeed. So much info and information is outstanding. I’m getting ready to take my motorcycle class next spring here in Michigan USA. I’m 53 years old and have ridin dirt bikes all my life growing up and ready for a street bike. Also think I’m leaning forwards the BMW 900 GSA, just more affordable then the 1250 I want; beggars can’t be choosers. Haha Thank you for such great information on helmets. What is your head and brain worth ya? It’s funny Michigan just a couple years ago took away the helmet law and I see people riding on the freeway with zero helmet, which again is legal now in this state. But I think man, just takes one fall. Thank you again for such an outstanding and informative video about helmets and the ones I’m looking at before I purchase my new motorcycle. As you guys say across the the pond…. Cheers and thank you. And a super kick ass Pinball game. He was the best!

@stegena3 күн бұрын
It fitted perfectly at shop 2y ago and the reviews were great. I bought it. I found out that it tend to be tight for me at longer rides. I did trip to Morocco, where the flip mechanism was getting sometimes stuck after cca 8k kms and it disassemble after few days while riding, so I ended screwing it together at gas station. I let it fix in warranty after. At next trip after few thousands km visor flipping mechanism get stuck because of dust. This year I'll get back to flip up helmet, because I get to conclusion that flip-over mechanism is just too complicated for my style of traveling. Thanks Chris. I'm happy, that somebody in review is finally saying, it's not on Shoei level of quality. It's noisier. It's tend to me more hot, because of lack of rear vent. Both things I was expecting, but that visor is not sealing properly, so my face got wet when it was raining heavily, surprised me. I still guess it might be fine helmet for commuting and for small trips, but not in my use case.

I recently bought the Kemi jacket from Motolegends and can confirm its very comfortable. I had already bought the level 2 Rukka back armour so I swapped that over from a different jacket. I also bought a Rukka down jacket. I know Chris is right about laminated vs drop liner, but I prefer the way a laminated feels even if it doesn't offer any benefit in the kind of use I have. As for Goretex vs the Rukka membrane. I am sure the lifetime warranty holds up, but when you are in your 60's a lifetime warranty is not as important as if say you are in your 40's and the price for the Nivala vs the Kemis hard for me to justify. I have no interest in the storm collar and the chest armour.

I see sibling junk helmets nowadays. And it shows how much value people have for their own life. Let alone somebody else’s. See the same with protective clothing. My rant now being settled… Love this review and support for the premium brands in general. My first Shoei was a GT-Air and loved it for 7 years. 6 years ago I also added a NXR for the track and sports bike. Great solid helmet with a dark visor. My wife has it now most of the time 😅 Last year I bought my Neotec 3 with Senna SRL 3. This is pure bless. I never want anything else for the road. Only added a smoke screen. This is something I don’t understand, why don’t give riders the choice for a clear - smoke - dark visor on purchase. Not doing so only adds an extra 75€ to the price. I understand logistics and production but wouldn’t it be nice to have this option. I recently bought a KTM LC4 for Sandraiders and some justified off-road adventures. For this again, I’ll look into a VFX- WR. Because their is just something when popping a Shoei on your head that feels likes home and secure. Thanks again for your input and great views. Always relaxing and informative.

Like the looks as well. Don't have the Klim GTX but would like your opinion on the Leatt ADV HydraDri 7,5 as you appreciate good products instead of marketing hype.

No update on airbag tech? I am seeing prices dropping and newer players coming in
@Motolegends8 күн бұрын
Actually, there aren’t lots of new players. Where you see new brands with airbags, most of them are employing the same system from Inner&Motion. The issue with prices is that the demand hasn’t been there sufficient to meet the the brands’ expectations. Dainese, in particular, has huge amounts of inventory, and they are offering ridiculous deals to retailers to take them on. The fact is that there is a proportion of the market that will adopt anything that purports to make riding safer, but by far the majority of bikers does not buy into the hassle and the discomfort of an airbag.

Klim already has an Induction Pro. I am always surprised with you folks that you glorify the Marrakesh (I own) and almost glorify the Baja S4 (I owned and sold), but never mention the Induction jacket and pants. The best of Klim’s line for ventilation. Marrakesh really only good up to about 90degF here in Arizona, USA. The bulk of the Baja S4 makes it less desirable (was OK when I lived in Wyoming). But my Induction jacket and pants are perfect here. Good up to about 102 degF before I need to wear Alpinestars cooling vest.

Day-to-day I’m a Klim Marrakesh / Zephyr / Maverick (& Scott) subscriber… But - I also own that Dianese suit you showed. Bought on a bit of ‘fashion whim’ a few months ago because it’s a little different - not quite so ‘Rallye’ as other ‘costumes’ let’s say 😉 - It’s really been good actually particularly in the summer - I think because of the size and arrangement of the big openable / mesh panels..(It’s also had an unexpected 2.5hr soaking without issue). Just a bit of feedback I guess..

@Motolegends9 күн бұрын
There will eventually be a new one, but not for next year. But you should be careful. The Badlands ticks a lot of boxes, but for most people it’s probably not the best option. In fact, for many people the Carlsbad is easier to live with, and gives very little away to the Badlands. You need to be really sure that the Badlands is the right suit for you. Don’t buy it because you think that, at that price, it must sit at the top of the tree. The most expensive is not always be the best; and certainly we have come across a number of people who don’t consider the suit to have been their wisest buy! CP

Just another question, I wear an Dainese smart airbag vest when touring and noticed on your website against the Klim air bag its quotes "But clearly Klim’s jackets are all airbag compatible" just wanting to check if this is also the case with the Carlsbad and means don't need to size up to give it the room to inflate?
