I love joe rocket.... what do you guys like?

 

[Grunt_99]

Dainese, by far the best! But I do have some JR stuff too. Spidi is decent and Alpinestars too. But Dainese is the sh!t.

Mr Rocket's gear is about the only gear I can afford. I wouldn't say it's the best. And his stuff seems to hold up well in crashes.



Vanson seems nice too, my buddy has a jacket and he loves it.

My Spidi CarboTech Gloves are excellent, supple in the right place
and thick leather where you usually (instinctively) put your hands
out to land.

My Arai RX7RR-v4 helmet is bloody great, no complaints at all.

My Draggin' Jeans are good, seen a guy come off doing 150km/hr
(94mph) and had no problems on his legs. His broken shoulder
was another matter!

My Rivet boots are OK.
My RJays jacket is [email protected]#ing crap. The leather has "gone off" or
something. I tried some combined waterproof+treatment and it
didn't help it. I'm going to have to try something else and
if that doesn't work I'll have to take it up with the shop.

try Renapur leather balsam. Its that stuff those people shine your leather boots at all that shows and expo's.
I bought mine at the Superbikes at Phillip Island a few years ago
and every now and then I do my leathers and they come up like new.

I have a Simpson bandit helmet that is custom painted and has a dark tinte screen on it. I LOVE IT!!! People always say I look like the guy from the predator movie.... its great!! I have owned HJC helmets but I think they are to big.

 

[billym99]

my HJC felt too small when i got it, but it stretched like crazy and now it is too big. i guess you pretty much get what you pay for, it was one of the cheaper priced helmets and i spent all my money at the time on my jacket so... tried a shoei on the other day, felt very nice. i wish dealers would let you try them on and go for a ride. what i hate most about mine is wind noise, my next helmet will hopefully not have as much wind noise as my current.

WTF is a Gixxer?

 

[96SNAKE016R]

Yep, the Shoei is the best. Try them on and it's like the Mercedes of Helmets. Great ventilation and a great fit. Costs more but worth every penny.

I just got my black Joe Rocket Pheonix Jacket in and I love it!!! It breaths great with the mesh.... I also got Joe Rocket green/black lightspeed gloves in and they feel great!!

 

[96SNAKE016R]

I got the Phoenix in black and white. It is a great jacket but mine already ripped at one of the seems for the vents?? Other than this, it is a good jacket. Overall, I like it but the leather is the only thing that makes me feel really protected. My JR gloves kick ass too.

If you want a mesh jacket, I'd strongly recommend the Fieldsheer Titanium Air over the Phoenix. Has better armor, and costs less.

I thought the phoenix was leather-free, do you maybe have one of those Reactor ones? I'm not trying to bust your balls, i'm just curiuos.

Another competitor to the phoenix that I've heard good things about (CE approved armor) is the Spidi Net jacket. Think it's more $$$ though.

the Phoenix i have is all mesh and has pads for protection.

No, I meant that I like leather jackets better than the mesh.
