Thanks Teapot, bought one and used your code. Its on route to me in the scottish Highlands now 👍
Mine arrived today and WOW. So comfy and AA protection. I’ll be using this for my mini wales tour tomorrow. Thanks for the 10% off code, it’s appreciated.
Hi teapot
I just received the 2 hoodies from roadskin in South Africa.
Glad to have you told me about it
Live your life
And spoke to ian to get it to South Africa
Just placed my order. Thanks for the 10% off
That's a fair RRP.. just a normal printed hoody is around £50. So that garment is a fair enough price ..plus with your discount code even better. 😎👍
Went to Roadskin today (27th April) and met Ian and the lads. Bought the hoodie. V impressed. Wife interested in their new range of jeggings.
Nice one, I see they’ve just launched some base layers too
Hoodie looks perfect summer bike rides during the day and then the local boozer on a night in Brum
Nice one Bruce, having ridden with you whilst you've worn the jacket, video doesn't do it justice. It's a very good piece of kit and you can tell it's really good quality!
As for making YOU look good, not sure about that, but it's miles better than some of the kit you've worn in the past 😁
Take care dude and keep up the good work 👍
Nice pants
@@teapotone yeah, thanks for that cheeky 🤣
Just finished a weeks riding in Germany. 1030 miles in total. Due to the sudden increase in temperature, i ditched the textiles and just took the Roadskin Hoodie. Was perfect for riding around the mountains….. bit i’m not a fast rider. Its a great piece of clothing for the hot weather 👍
Hi Bruce
I now have one. Really nice. On a naked I found that better to remove the hood.
Works well with a rain seal coat over the top for cold weather and rain.
Cheers.
Totally agree those hood cords kept hitting the back of the crash helmet :)
I've just ordered one of the hoodies, and I already have a pair of Paranoid jeans and a pair of gloves. The jeans are fantastic, and the gloves are soft and flexible. I'm looking forward to trying out the hoodie now the weather is getting warmer.
Been wearing the hoody the past 2 days and have found it excellent. Real quality product, so thanks for the heads up and the discount code! 👍
My pleasure Paul, glad you made use of it and are happy with the product 👍
That is really nice! I like wearing hoodies in the spring and fall .
great review, currently looking for some new bike gear will definitely give them a look !!
Good video, I'm not a hoodie fan or wearing only light gear on a bike, but it does seem to offer a good level of protection for urban low speed riding. Very good price for level of protection offered especially against other cheap brands offering only A protection and the more expensive brands offering AA protection. Looking forward for your conclusion.
Very trendy Bruce, I totally agree with you its hard to look good when we fill a door frame
🤣👍
I've got the Easyrider 1 and wore it in Europe last summer with high 30/low 40C heat. Yeah it was warm at town speeds, but I suspect anything would be in those temps. Conversely, I've taken the armour out and worn it over an old Knox Urbane Pro in the last few weeks (lost a few pounds since I first bought it) and that combo is great from low teen digits C. The removable hood is cracking if you have a bike that causes airflow to drag on the hood and the jacket is easy to chuck in the wash after the inevitable covering of flies and road grime, coming out good as new. The new version looks cracking, some nice updates with the cuffs and overall fit. Thanks Bruce, this vid has reminded me of their jeans which also look great value for money with performance to match.
Cheers Jim,
Glad the vids been of use to you - remember you’ll get 10% off with the code TEAPOTONE 👍
Their jeans are really good , I had a small accident while wearing them & slid down the road , some stitching came off the back pocket - no other damage to the jeans .
I'll get one of their hoodies in the near future
That’s great to know Stuart, glad they did the job 👍
I have the previous generation Roadskin hoodie and it’s perfect for summer riding, comfortable and looks good, plus a good fit for the more “robust” gentleman. Great little review.
Cheers 👍
Watching this while wearing Bruce's 'Live Your Live' hoodie. 3XL perfect for this 6ft 3 overweight old bloke.
This looks decent kit. It's nice to have stuff that looks good on and off the bike.
Cheers Richard, aye it’s good looking kit isn’t it👍
Great review, Being of larger size myself I have been looking for a jacket that doesnt ride up when riding a sportsbike and this jacket with a belt loop seems like a great addition.....just have to wait until its back in stock.
That's a really good price. I was expecting it to be 250+, I've got some roadskin jeans and highly rate them too,
I must say this looks great, £140 is reasonable for something that is an alternative to a jacket. 🤔
Hi Bruce, nice informative video as ever I live in kent myself so will take a trip down to roadskin keep safe and remember keep it on the stops 😁👍
Never knew Roadskin were in TW. I'll have to drop in
This looks like a really nice product but I like the knox urbane pro and have a standard hoodie over the top
Just ordered one and used your discount code 😁 can't wait to try it
Ohh look at you down with the kids! All joking aside, that’s looks great!
Ha Ha I KNOW!
I got ‘street cred’ now and everything Murt!
I feel like Eminem 😎
Hi Bruce, as a fat old geezer myself, their is no harm in trying to look a bit less horrendous. The hoodie looks fine and is well priced.
Just ordered a pair of roadskin jeans through your link Bruce and got a free pair of gloves . It's a win win . Thanks Bruce 👍
Nice one Martin, happy days 👍
Funnily enough I watched this video last night and then today up at Tanhill Inn, (the highest pub in the U.K.) I see some dude wearing the exact same hoodie. What are the odds on that! 😳
On my radar now - looked a bit of a cheap brand with all the Facebook marketing, but will have a further glance for summertime.
Mine arrived two days ago Bruce. Have to say, the quality has way exceeded my expectations for the price. Will be getting one for the missus soon. Love a cheeky discount too :)
Fantastic bud, chuffed you’re happy with it 👍
Looks good and priced fairly, gonna have to order one.
Teapot has lost some weight, excellent 👌🏾 the tractor has a lighter passenger now 😄 nice video Mr T.
Cheers Carl, I’m back rowing now so we are getting there 👍
I’ve been looking at an intermediate between my winter and summer jackets. This could very well be it
Aaaand ordered
Nice bit of kit 👌🏻
Just ordered thanks for the discount code Bruce
Nice bit of kit.
Cheers Lyn 👍
Well Bruce, it definitely looks good, and it's sensibly priced in my opinion. We'll just have to wait and see what you think 👍
Cheers Nick,
I’ll save you the bother - they’re brilliant. Been wearing since around November, been to the Canaries in it (vids coming very soon), worn in temps ranging from 32+ to -7, zero issues or complaints.
If it’s jeans weather, then I’m wearing the hoody, great bit of kit 👍
Looks like decent gear from a decent manufacturer
Looks good, I think the casual gear is the way to go these days for sure 👍
Cheers Dans👍
I like their stuff. Got the Aranis denims and wore them to work, comfortable all day all week. Might give the hoodie a go depending on your review, although I already have quite a lot of kit including a nice Spada jacket that I pair with the jeans...
Definitely interested in one of these, and probably a pair of jeans too... Err... now ordered one of each!
Nice one, I’ve got the Taranis jeans, love’m 👍
Have you tried their jeans yet? Taranis elite and paranoid. I am on the bigger side myself so trying to find jeans in my waist size can sometimes be challenging especially considering my short inseam.
Not very many reviews on the jeans on TH-cam. tons of user reviews on their website and now you’ve definitely sold me on the hoodie
Aye I’ve been wearing the Taranis for about 6 months now, love’m.
I get slightly bigger in the waist (I’m more like a 40” waist but go for 42”) to fit my rugby playing thighs and calves, but otherwise the fit is great 👍
Thanks for sharing with us. 😊
No worries 👍
I got one when they first came out last summer. I love it, but the only niggle is that I feel it's just a couple of inches too short on the body. I'm constantly feeling it's riding up my body and the worry is in an off it would pull up significantly at the front or side where the belt loop doesn't do much. I got a medium (I'm 6'2") and while bigger sizes are longer, they're not by much unless you jump up to XL+
Feed that back to Roadskin bud via their website or socials 👍
Nice 👍🏻 will give them a look!
They look good and solidly built but I'm not convinced they will be great in higher heat temps when compared with say a summer air mesh (or teabag) jacket due to no mesh and the waterproof liner. But I stand to be corrected. Soon as you get going above 30mph in a air mesh jacket you feel air flow. My airmesh was worth every penny when it hit 41c last year in the UK! Don't think this will perform as well.
I also wear the Helite airbag jacket but it was just too hot to wear above 28c even with airmesh jacket and we all know heat fatigue can be more dangerous then less protective gear. Look forward to seeing the final thoughts 👍
Any updates on the hoodie Bruce?thinking of splashing some dosh on one.
Cheers
I still love it bud, just wore it out in Spain this week with my Taranis Jeans - perfect.
Great video and great channel! I’m just starting out with this and I am watching you because it’s entertaining and also trying to pick up some tips and advice! 👍
Been looking at buying a hoodie for a while and thanks to this review I've just purchased one 😂 cheers 👍
Me too just ordered
@@bradyluk did you use the 10% off code?
When will the review be up on youtube looking forward to seeing it 👍
I don’t think I’ll do a specific review vid of it, just chat about it in various vids to come.
I’ve been wearing it since last November and already worn in temps from -7 to +32 and it’s been fine. Wore it through security at the airport and on the plane to the Canaries without any issues from security, I’ve worn it in the pouring rain - the outer shell does saturate so you will feel the cold, but you don’t get wet.
I’ve washed it and it maintains colour and shape… it’s just genuinely a GREAT bit of kit, I’m well impressed 👍
Handy for doorwork.
Not too shabby I must say! (And, obviously, I'm talking about the gear...😜)
The price sounds really reasonable, it seems to be rather thin and yielding you lots of freedom to move in the gear, and it makes you safe and secure. Will be interesting to see/hear how it is for you to live with.
Cheers Jonas,
I’ve been wearing it since around November last year, absolutely love it. Still looks great, I’ve washed it several times and it still maintains the colour and size, it’s comfortable to wear on and off the bike, I even wore it on the plane when travelling to the Canaries - rode to the airport, parked the bike up and just got on the plane wearing it 👍
Great stuff. Just what I have been looking for. Bought! Just hope the size I have is right.
Nice one, hope you like wearing it 👍
Looks a good bit of kit,just ordered one c/o your code,cheers Bruce.👍🏻
Nice one, cheers Barry, glad you could make use of the discount and hope you like the hoodie when it arrives 👍
My hoodie arrived today,quality bit of kit,really impressed with it,happy days.👍🏻
Nice one Barry 👍
Bruce, for slow/urban riding, IMO AA is OK, but I wouldn't like to trust it for "proper" riding (check out what the AA spec actually gives you, it's not very impressive!). I myself ride in EN13595 Level 2 approved kit, and even the newer EN17092 AAA is lacking in comparison so I only ever recommend people doing "proper" riding stick with at least AAA rated kit only (any decent leathers should easily pass AAA but only a few textile brands do). It's good though that you're even mentioning the rating, almost nobody does and it's important people understand what they are buying with open eyes! :) BTW, for the larger boned/fat calved man (like me and you ;) ), I recommend the Resurgence AAA rated single layer jeans, they have a really nice stretch and comfortable fit, but still snug enough to keep the armour in place (I upgraded the amour to the new Ghost Level 2 from the L1 they came with). I only use them for short/local/urban journeys though, leathers or textile (as above) for "proper" riding... :) HTH! :)
Cheers Matt,
I had a very enlightening chat with Ed Miles and multi-TT winner Mick Wynn about slide ratings and kit, over on my ‘Bru Time’ podcast channel.
The ratings aren’t actually a rating of what max level of protection the kit is capable of - manufacturers submit their item of kit to a specific test, whether that’s A, AA, or AAA, and if it passes then it gets that rating, if it doesn’t then it just fails, then they have to pay to test again at the next lower rating.
So for example if they submit a jacket for AAA testing and it just fails, then it won’t just get AA rating, it simply fails the test and the manufacturer would have to pay for another test at AA or A rating.
So manufacturers generally got for AA rather than AAA as it makes more financial sense.
As it is I don’t agree with your AA comment personally, I think it’s fine for most general riding other than track work. Obviously I’d rather have AAA rated kit, but the vast majority of my kit over the years other than leathers has been AA-rated, I’ve crashed quite a few times, and never suffered any abrasion injuries etc, it’s always been blunt trauma/breaks.

@mattmutane5502 You are correct in being skeptical about EN17092 in terms of abrasion. The test is so lenient as to be laughable. The only abrasion test I give any credibility to is the Cambridge test. Whereas EN17092 tests on polished concrete (arguably similar to worn asphalt), Cambridge tests on OP60 sandpaper, roughly equivalent to top-dressed (chip seal) road surfaces in abrasive qualities.
MOTOCAP is actually the only resource I trust to be unbiased. Much as I love the video presenter's style, he's not telling me anything useful safety wise and we don't generally choose kit based on it's look and style. Well, I certainly don't.
I personally ignore EN17092 because it's a joke standard designed for textiles to pass at ludicrously low abrasion rates. In Cambridge equivalents, MOTOCAP has tested enough samples to produce some data for high risk zones:
A= 0.4 seconds, AA= 0.7 seconds, AAA= 1.4 seconds (and up but we don't know how much because it's just a pass/fail).
I crash test material samples myself and, despite what textile manufacturers would you like to believe, NOTHING comes close to double layers of thick cowhide (>=1.4mm thick). On roads, I still wear leather and an airbag but I don't ride much on roads any more. For off-road, I think a hoodie style, cut resistant jacket or sweater is a very good idea.
What the heck is "Maximite"? I hate it when manufacturers hide their textiles components unless you buy it. I need material components in percentages. It's probably a knit nylon/polyester/UHMWPE blend which is not great for abrasion protection but decent for cut and tear resistance. Another problem is knit fabrics tend to grab on impact and cause tumbling. I'd consider adding leather overlays on the hoodie's elbows and shoulders to mitigate this somewhat. You want to slide not tumble which is a serious of impacts following the big one.
Kudos to the presenter for wearing an airbag vest. That's smart.
@@martinfoster5163 Great response Martin, thanks! :) Blimey though, you sound like me! ;) (like I said, most of my kit is either 13595 Level 2 (Cambridge test rated) and/or leather... :) ). I am familiar with Motocap, it's a shame they can't test more kit! (it's expensive purchasing kit to destroy it... huh? ;) )
Thanks for responding. MOTOCAP buys 2 garments for each garment test. One bought online, one bought in a retail shop. All purchased anonymously. This is a great idea because it avoids manufacturers gaming a test, similar to what could happen in a CE test then shipping a different garment with changed components. Yes, it is expensive. Due to their buying method, they can't buy kit not available in AUS/NS.
When I did a big testing research project, I mainly used material samples and only one whole garment. This made it a lot cheaper because I only had to buy one garment (a Dainese Bora) and the sample were typically donated by manufacturers but I paid the postage. I don't have the funding that MOTOCAP does, unfortunately.
I designed a motorcycle mounted rig to drop samples onto a road in South Vietnam - medium grade asphalt. The drop was from 1m high and the "slide" was 18m. (Drop to stop test). If a sample survived one drop, I'd repeat until the sample failed. My results were shocking because all textiles performed very badly compared to high quality cowhide. Typically, textiles didn't even survive one drop without holing. A good secondary layer, such as thicker kevlar or 3d mesh, would usually improve performance by 4x or more and survive one or two more drop tests for a total of about 30 metres. However, top notch race grade cowhide in 2 layers, survived 11 drops and an accumulated slide distance of 200 metres without failure. I tested cowhide samples supplied by BKS leathers and Hideout Leathers.

Just ordered one! Thanks for the discount code 👍
Awesome, glad you could make use of it and hope you like the hoodie when it arrives 👍
Iam a a big guy BUT i also have a long torso so finding gear is quite hard and these look great im probably a 56 chest 4xl says 54-56, id rekon thought if you did a 5xl would be perfect for me.
Nice bit of kit. Reasonable price. Would prefer a short zip at the neck as I prefer pull over hoodies
Good top box. Decent hoodie. Entertaining video. I'll have a look at their website.
How about putting spandex or straps around the knees and ankles area. that way you can have baggy jeans but yet snug it up in areas that needs to be snug.
Seems like extremely good value for money! I hope to get one! :-)
How world you try one before buying? Ordering online is often problematic if you get the wrong size🤓
Watching this with my little boy ,he asked if you sell the hoodie in his size because they look cool
Ha Ha awesome! Drop Roadskin a line and ask, maybe they’ll do one for him 😉👍
Buying right now just what I’m after
Lovely job - remember the 10% off with code TEAPOTONE 😉👍
Seems like a good purchase .👍
Aye definitely, it’s my go-to riding jacket now if it’s a jeans kind of day 👍
Amazing brand and product
Nice 1 looks good gear at a fair price 👍🏻🍻
Where is the shop TP1? as I'd like to try one on before purchase 👍
Tunbridge Wells
@@teapotone 👍
Interesting. I wonder if this is a viable alternative to a Knox Urban Pro? - For really hot weather.
I’ve not worn the Knox kit but I’ve worn the hoodie in temps up to 32 degrees so far. Was warm at those temps, but felt fine for me up to around mid-twenties.
HOWEVER - keep in mind I wear a Helite Airvest over the top AND then my rucksack over the top of that - so that will inhibit a lot of airflow
I like that. Does it come with all the armour or do you need to purchase that separately?
Comes with all the armour Phil👍
@@teapotone well that makes it banging good value then. Cheers.
Thanks Bruce for your review from another old fat bloke in Oz. Looks like a nice piece of kit at a good price for over here, thanks for discount code 👍
Looks like a good hoody Brucey
Cheers Si, aye it’s a good bit of kit eh 👍
Nice Vid Bruce, it will take more than a hoodie to make you look young and trendy !!!!!😉😂
Charming 🥺
Really want one of these for me and my wife when we ride to Italy. Just a little nervous about sizing. I take an ordinary XL hoodie. Does the size you put on correspond to what you would normally wear with a t-shirt underneath?
I’m a 50-52” chest and the 3XL fits me well.
I’d usually go for XXL or XXL in tops if they’re available. Just drop them a line with your chest size and ask their advice bud 👍
@@teapotone thanks. I shall give it a go. And I’ve now planned three new rides out on CaliMoto. 😃
Thanks for the review, Just ordered one. One thing though, as an affiliate you are making a commission fella.
I wasn’t an affiliate when I filmed the vid, only came through just before I published it.
@@teapotone don’t blame you fir becoming one. I’ve ordered my hoodie yesterday using your code. You deserve the small commission and I’m looking forward to the hoodie. They look awesome, thank you for your video.
Looks good for the price. Do they do kids sizes?
Bruce have you tried Knox clothing
I bought their first ever Handroids gloves way back in about 2015’ish, and had their first biker rucksack, but never tried any of their newer kit.
Chopsie (Lamb Chop Rides) is sponsored by them and he likes their kit
I saw his review and I am going to get some I will let you know how I get on as a fat ex job bloke
Quick question what gloves do you wear??
These are the Spidi X-Force gloves
www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/486001
Might invest Bruce. Knowing how it fits you, what size would you recommend me getting? 6'2' 50" chest and 16½stone.
Probably same as me bud, 3XL
@@teapotone Cheers, I'll wait for your final verdict lol
How many pockets ? Are they zipped ??
Two front pockets, both zipped
What helmet do you have ??
It’s a fair price point and the jeans are really good quality so imagine the hoodie would be to, I’ve seen the road skin guys getting dragged along the road on videos to prove testing! 😂
Aye their kit really does do the job 👍
Does the hood flap around a lot or make a lot of noise?
No not at all, I was out today in it and no issues whatsoever.
Another beautifully delivered review and I do love Ian and the roadskin team top people so I just know it’s a top product ☝️but how naked did you feel without your air vest ☝️😂
Mate it’s daft isn’t it - I can’t go out now without wearing it, otherwise I just feel like I’m tempting fate!
@@teapotone I think that has a lot to do with how it makes you think , you know it will save your life if the need arises and the day you don’t wear it that will be the day you need it , but I do hope you never need it 🙏
Does look decent - although, I’m not sure about the thumbnail !!??!?!?
🤣👍
Brother , teapot one , I was trying to reach you for a while, I have a BMW S1000xr , I want to install Innove K5 cam system on to it . But I don’t have any can smart , so was thinking of tapping the tail light with a possi tap , to connect the yellow cable for switch power , but some one from BMW bikes told me that this will cause the bike to give out error codes . Is it true? Or is it safe to tap the cable ?
Or is there any other way to do it ? Please guide me .
Liking that 👍
It’s good looking kit eh 👍
@TeapotOne yep, just ordered one, cheers for the 10%👍it'll suit the xadv image 😂😂
Why is it that us biglad carnt get huddies or jackets they never do them big enough but we can get jeans
I know this might seen a stupid question Bruce, but would you say the hoodie is for all ages as Im 70
Martin if you want to wear one mate, wear one. Don’t worry about what other people think, it means nothing.
Be you 👍
Ordered a hoody over a week ago,still nothing and no replies to emails,not impressed
Did you get a confirmation email when you ordered? If you did, drop them a line with your order number and ask for an idea of delivery date.
If you didn’t get a confirmation email, that would suggest your order didn’t go through
@@teapotone they have posted today 👍👍👍👍
Will it fit me Bruce 😳😂
They do a 3XL one mate, drop them a line and see if they have one in stock at their shop. They’re only in Tunbridge Wells, Kent 👍
@@teapotone cheers bud 👍😎
Nice jeans but I just don't get on with mine, tried different versions but just to uncomfortable and no give around the crotch...and I after sending the jeans back for new sizes and trying a different style...I ended up spending over £100+ in multiple return costs as "no" free returns..and still not happy with the fit. DOn't get me wrong the Quality & technology is amazing...but unhappy and in the end cost me a lot of money and I still can't wear them.... Their gloves are nice and comfy and wear them all the time though. ;)
Try some bull-it jeans the fit is great and you can get AAA rated ones it's what I have.
@@zedddddful Will do...
Another recommendation is the AAA rated Single Layer Resurgence jeans (as that's what I have for slow/urban/local/occasional use). Larger legged fit, but with stretch and snug, keeps the armour in place. :)
@@mattmutane5502 Thanks for tip will check them out.
@ Max Steele Not 'high tech' but check out 'Hood Jeans' They are a bit 'heavy weight' so best worn with braces IMO. Made in the UK (The North West I think) but they will make the length whatever you want. Which was important to me as I'm a 'shortie'. Absolutely excellent company to deal with.👍
Update I ordered this hoodie and it's hands down the worst jacket I've ever had the armour doesn't cover the whole of your back, in the hot weather it's almost unbearable to wear and the sleeves stick to your arms when trying to remove it, the back on mine rides up when I'm riding as well I'm not impressed by it at all
Send them the feedback then bud, the vast majority of people who’ve bought one love it 🤷♂️
But why do most of these manufacturers just do BLACK ?
Slimming 😉
nice gear but not stab proof
They don’t quite go big enough for me but then neither do most of the other manufacturers, my own fault for being a fat sod I suppose
It doesn't make any sense to me that you would wear something that could possibly hook on something causing further injury.
I wear a rucksack every time I ride - no issues.
I’ve come off a bike at around 130mph+ and slid along the road whilst wearing a rucksack - no issues (well none caused by the rucksack… the mountain I fell down however wasn’t so kind).
Whilst I understand your concern about a hood, I think it’s misplaced bud and nothing to worry about at all
@TeapotOne I'll totally disagree with you. Any thing that can catch or hook on to an object you hit is increasing your chances for a bad outcome. Just because
