Spot on with the Roadskin jeans, so comfy you forget your wearing them...
Nice to know you feel the same. They were a revelation to me after years of heavy, stiff, uncomfortable jeans :)
Road skin much better than my hood jeans and I thought they were the dogs when I first got them
I ordered some Hoods a couple of years ago, wore them once and literally binned them. The cut was so poor that Mrs RM burst out laughing when she saw them :(
Another great vid! I ride mostly in the NE of Scotland and its cold, pretty much all year. My Dianese Jacket is my go to unit; its a trail based coat and a little longer than a cafe type jacket, think Belstaff Trailmaster but a little shorter. Gloves, Held are great but I have found Lee Parks, the best glove I have ever used in three decades of riding. Boots, as much as I liked my Sidis, my Daytonas are the best. Love them. Dainese leather pants with armour go with the jacket. As for lids, just Arai, my recent helmet that I too use on my Speed Twin is a Kenny Roberts Rep. Add in a Dainese mid-layer with socks and I am done. Although just today after yet another cold ride I ordered a Keis heated vest.
Thanks for your input👍😊
Just got a pair of the Roadskin Taranis using your discount code. Much appreciated!
Looking forward to trying them out!
Good to hear. Hope you enjoy them, I find them extremely comfortable :)
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who purchases gear to match the style of bike we ride. I also have separate gear for when I ride my Speed Twin. Ah, vanity. 😊
Lol, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it, but yes, I dress for the bike ;)
You should try the Klim Marrakesh jacket and pants. More ventilated than a mesh, lighter, softer, but way better protection vs a full mesh.
I’ll take a look. Thanks👍😊
Hood Jeans , great for the weather in the Uk and they come in exact sizes.
Yes, I used to have a pair. Difficult to find outside the UK, unfortunately🤔
I think they ship abroad. But they’ll be too hot anyway I guess. I also love my goldtop leather jacket
Spot on - a bit too thick for the temperatures here
Great presentation 👍🏼
As I like to combine motorcycling with hiking I too got the Stylmartin boots and they're great and very affordable. 😉👍🏼
Thanks, Peter. Yes, the Stylmartins are great both on & off the bike👍😊
+1 for those Roadskin jeans. Super comfortable and good protection especially hips ,which manufacturers often neglect
Yep, I haven’t tested them in anger (hope I never will), but comfort is top drawer and, as you say, they do seem very strong👍
Love the kit! As a beginner I've only just accrued my Oxford boot, Oxford jeans and mesh jacket with Oxford laminated jacket & pant. 3 pairs of Richa gloves for summer, autumn and winter. Shoei Neotec 2 which feels amazing compared to the hundred other lids I tried on. I'm sure you'll love the Neo3!!
I'm like a walking advert but I've tried many many others that did not fit me and similar prices.
Keep them coming RM.
Not a bad collection for a beginner😊👍
I bought some Roadskin jeans last year, using your discount code. They are as comfortable as regular jeans, but feel very secure and are in a different league to Draggin or Hood. I match them with a very basic Klim gore-tex jacket that has loads of vents and some lightweight Daytona boots.
Phew, always a bit nerve wracking when you recommend stuff, tbh. Glad you’re happy with them. I tried some Hood jeans, but Mrs RM hated the cut, so they went in the bin🙁
Hi from Sweden. As I started out in the seventies I´ve ridden a lot with normal clothes, although with a leather jacket on top (for style). Used to have skiing gloves and graduated soon from sneakers to hiking boots. After I got too old for vanity reasons I´ve started to use gear that is meant for biking. A GoreTex jacket, riding jeans, leather boots (some no-name brand but they are tripleA), decent gloves (two pairs one for hot, one for cold) and a Nolan and a HJC full face helmet. As our riding season is short due to the weather gear tends to be added more than replaced so some of my stuff is more than 10, maybe even 15 years old. Will propably need to replace the jacket, I bought it from a stall at the Helsinki MC Fair in 2008 or 2009 and the seams are starting to give up but I only paid 60 euros for it so it can be considered a bargain. I ride a Vulcan, and mostly have saddle bags on the bike so rain gear is mostly with me although I stop and find shelter as soon as I can when the weather acts up. But in colder weather the rain gear acts as extra layer and it is good to keep the windchill away so that is why I have it with me. This has worked very well for me but there is nothing wrong with buying the expensive stuff if you can afford it and like the looks and-or feel. But everything that works is fine, main thing is to keep riding for as long as we are able to!
Nice. Thanks for sharing your experience😊👍
In Thailand: Roof Boxer V8 every day for me; I used to have an Icon Contra Mk1. In Portugal: some French jacket, forget the name.
I like that Roadskin jacket. Ditto the stretchy jeans. I wear Reurgence Gear New Wave in both countries. TCX Air Boots in Thailand. Some other make in Portugal. Racer mesh gloves in both countries. Nick
Nice😊👍
@@RocketMan_Moto Haha!
Will need full face helmet in eu soon on motorways. Nice vid as always
Yes, I saw that :(
Interesting choices, I liked most of your kit, but I just could not wear a non full face helmet, I alway have white helmets and have no problems in high heat, but I totally understand living in Portugal it makes sense. I just bought a Klim Marrakesh jacket and it is very comfortable, coupled with a Scott waterproof/breathable jacket on top I am good for 9 months of the year, I add my heated Warm and safe heated shirt for the really cold rides.
Thanks for your input. Klim gear is superb, but pricey😬
Hi RM…are you visiting blighty this summer? I’m confident you’d enjoy the ABR festival at Ragley Hall.
Would love to visit. Alas, no UK trips planned this year. Family tends to come to us, can’t imagine why🤔
I have years of buying expensive technical fabric kit which always failed after a couple of years then I bought Merlin waxed cotton, a game changer for living/riding in Britain where it's wet and cold for 6 months of the year. Not a drop of water has got through the jacket or matching wax cotton trousers and I've had them for 3 years not even re-waxed them yet either ,you can stuff your Ruker,Klim type kit for 1/3 of the price I'm as dry as a bone. Hot summer weather I have a Revit vented mesh type jacket and Pando Moto jeans .Boots either my Altbergs for winter or Revit boots for summer both match both my bikes perfectly Guzzi v85tt and Triumph scrambler 900. Gloves,Gold Top bobber the best fitting gloves I've ever had and lasted the longest too I have 3 pairs in different colours not expensive but bloody lovely and soft. Helmet, schuberth E1 ,the best helmet I've owned too, used to have Arai or Shoei but this is just all day comfort and quiet. After 25 years of riding I have found what actually works and it's never the expensive kit you think it might be
Good list. Thanks. I would use Arai, but their insistence on not integrating a sun visor puts me off
Dude with your clothes modelling vids do you think the next area to dip into is jumpers and cardigans for bikers there’s a huge market out there.Also any updates coming on the ADV ?😊👍🏻
😂👍 I’ve thought about doing an update video on the ADV but tbh I haven’t done anything with it since my last video. It’s my workhorse😊
Roger 👍🏻@@RocketMan_Moto
Thanks for this, your gear list was insightful.
Im looking into a pair of riding jeans as we are about to start the hot and humid South Florida summer (March-December)... are the Roadskin jeans an option for you in deep summer where you are? Or would you stick with mesh?
Mesh will offer a bit more ventilation, but the Roadskins are very comfortable and not *too* hot😊
I love all things Revit, being very tall it really seems they design trousers, jeans and jackets for me. Apart from that I’m a huge fan of the Knox Urbane Pro jacket/shirt. AA, good armour all around and fully mesh it’s great on a summers day and because it’s so slim you can just use a regular jacket (or gillet) on top to take care of wind, rain or chill. If I could have only one jacket that’d be it I think.
I’d love to try that Urbane Pro shirt!
@@RocketMan_Moto It’s a trick piece of kit. If I’d live in your parts I’d try and get the silver one but for me black works well. My favourite thing is to put it under an old Barbour jacket for the classic look. Nomad Sweden uses his as his armour for European tours, just layer up on the outside which saves a lot of weight and volume.
I need to get myself one👍
Hi RM, you’ve got some quality kit there.
I recently got a Helite airbag vest which I use on every ride and am considering getting the airbag pants too. What about you - have you looked into them?
Thanks. I can't say I'm that interested in airbags, tbh. Of course, they provide excellent protection (I imagine...), but I just accept the risks inherent to motorcycling. Hope you never have to use your airbag for real ;)
Some very nice gear
Thanks😊
Nice to see your kit and the readons behind it. Since youre roughly the same height as me (im 6'3" and i bought them in long) id be interested to know if yiu find the knee armour in the roadskins rides up your legs. I find it sitting mostly on my thighs when im riding, ive enev swapped it for D3O Ghost L2 and unpicked the middle of the bottom of the pockets so it drops down another inch or so, but it never feels like its covering my knee properly. I dont ride a sports bike somits not like my legs are bent back that much either.
I still wear them all summer, just dont quite feel 100% confident when I do.
That’s interesting, I can’t say I’ve ever had that problem🤔
Open face. Went back to it 2yrs ago after many years using a Shark flip up. So light. So much vision. Full face visor means warm when cold, too. ( Shark Nano)
Like the Segura jacket.
To be honest I wouldn't wear flip flops and shorts, but I wonder if we've gone ott with protection? Biking carries an inherent risk.
Ride safe 👍
I agree :)
In an earlier life I was a police officer and part of that time as a motorcycle patrol officer. I have seen some ghastly motorcycle accidents. Some of them were fatal and you don’t want to hear about those. Curiously I have noticed that in most motorcycle wrecks, the feet are the first to go. I mean, they get, in some cases, shredded. My advice is to always wear sturdy boots when riding. I wear Redwing Iron Rangers and I really recommend that you always get lace up boots of whatever you fancy. Anything slip-on flies off.
I live in Sacramento California which gets up to 46°C or 114°F in the summer which is bloody hot. I generally escape to the mountains when it gets that hot but I wear all the gear, all the time.
Riding since 1973.
Sound advice
RM, After influencing my decision to buy a Tiger 900 GT Pro, You are about to influence my choice for jeans. Thx for your informative stories. The discount code for roadskin seems to work only in the UK and not continental Europe.
Hmm, that shouldn’t be the case. Let me email Roadskin to see what the problem is🤔
Roadskin have replied. Apparently they have now finished setting up their EU warehouse and will be sending me a new affiliate link next week. If you can wait a few more days, I will update my website as soon as I get the new information here:
rocketman-motorcycles.com/discount_codes_rocketman.htm
Sorry for the confusion😊
I just got the message that the EU website will be fully operational mid march@@RocketMan_Moto
Ive got the rst adventure jacket for my everything jacket and agree its awesome. I ride a little cbr500r so ive bought a jacket for the bike i want not the bike i have 😂
Those are good little bikes👍😊
I have that revit mesh jacket, i like it very much, but dont understand why not all jackets are longer on the back so you rear end dont catch to much air when you are leaning foward
Agreed. We need longer backs, like cyclists get👍
