      That is what I am planning to do. I don't ride anything yet but I plan to. I don't mind looking like a dork because I am planning to ride a scooter which perhaps already looks dorky so might as well go all in.

    I got the Klim Badlands Jacket and pants 4 years ago. I dont wear it in summer in Florida but after it cools down I love my Badlands. I feel so much safer and it is rainproof and loaded with armor. Worth every penny if it keeps me out of the emergency room.

    just got the Klim Badlands, i'm a 6xl in everyone else's jacket, in the Klim i'm a 3xl, and its loose.
    I've only worn it twice so far, 1 time in 8 deg C. and 1 time in 32 deg C. day/ evening rides, both times the Gortex kept me cool with 2 rear vents open (its hard to explain how it breaths, but when you warm up, it lets heat out, then when you cool down the heat increases ? some how), and i was warm with all vents shut, yes its heavy to take off and on, but once it's on, kidney belt on (or forgotten to put on) it's so well built the jacket weight disappears...
    being brand new also i was expecting it to be stiff, it fits me like a Glove straight out of the box, and i love it.

    I usually wear a high viz airbag vest over my jacket and put the back pad in the vest. That way if I stop somewhere and take the vest off I don't have to deal,with the back pad but I can still have my cool looking jacket on.

    Is D3O safer than CE with hard armor? I have a jacket that has CE rated armor with a hard covering: would I be better served upgrading to D3O? Or is this just a comfort trade-off? Thx! Great reviews! For riding dual-sport are you better off wearing something like the Fox Titan or a mesh jack with D30?

  • @gordonthomson2183
    @gordonthomson2183 7 років тому

    Whatsup FortNine! As usual, your reviews the most legit out there. I fear after churning out all this great content, you may be running out of review ideas, so here is one... How about height specific gear reviews. Let me explain. I am 1.86m (I think that's 6 foot 2, but I stand under correction ) My trusty steded is a BMW F650 GS 2006. I bought the bike about 5 months ago, and I love it. I have however found that my lower back starts paining if I drive for too long. I have found that I experience relief if I sit on the passenger seat while driving. (Yes, my legs are that long) While it is super comfortable ( for my legs and back) It is also dangerous, as I fear my centre of gravity is too high and I can't grip the 'tank' with my legs as firmly as I would riding on the noemal seat. (I am aware that the actual petrol tank of the 650GS is in-fact under you and not in-front) I am thinking of buying a cushion or seat ad-on that would help to 'raise' the seat height or make other adjustments to the bike itself. I have sifted through many a UA-cam video/ vlogger and I am yet to find good videos around this topic (Affordable comfort gear for taller riders). There are however tons of video for shorter riders, but it probably wouldn't be fair to make videos for only the taller blokes.
    On a completely different topic, I have also been looking for videos of guys using their bluetooth comm system to speak through a megaphone hidden somewhere in/on there motorcycle. Anyone seen anything like this? I have a Comm System (Scala Rider G9X) and want to rig something to receive my voice via bluetooth and feed it into the megaphones mic. ( I could probably write an app for this and strap my phone to the megaphone, but that would be a shlep every time I want to use my phone)

    I can't believe you didn't include Helite Airbag jackets in this review. These are clearly the new standard and although Fortnine.ca may not yet carry them (which is in itself odd since you have many $1200+ options) you could have informed your viewers about the safety benefit afforded by air. Afterall, it won't be long before they are required by law, at least in Quebec.

      Must be all that free health care you guys get in Canada, in the rest of the world doctors bills are expensive , way more than an airbag jacket, the air bag techs are actually affordable for what you get, I’m more waiting for them to refine them a bit more, i don’t think the neck protection is good enough, you would have to buy a seperate neck air bag to be covered. There the future once they refine it in 5-10 years they will be mandatory.

    • @FortNine
      @FortNine  7 років тому +1

      Suede is made from the fibrous underside of leather, meaning it has *way* less abrasion resistance than top or full grain. But I'm pretty sure the Black Hawk isn't suede though? I think it's some kind of calf skin if I remember correctly. ~RF9

  •  3 роки тому

    For me the perfect jacket should be made of leather, with good protection, no hump because I need to wear a backpack and also waterproof, but with all that it could keep you fresh in the summer with proper ventilation, and also, be under 250 €.

    I need a new Jacket, problem with mine is its cheap materials so its itchy and annoying and i guess highly distractive to wear but it also lacks adjustment so all the padding movies to area's like my lower arm rather then my elbow or the back of my shoulder instead of the top/side. Guess thats what $150 gets you.
