The level of detail in these reviews is extraordinary. The opinions expressed are informed by experience and knowledge. I truly appreciate the content Motolegends has been putting out. I'm in the States and stumbled into these reviews a few months ago. I am subscribed and watch everything they put out.
Seriously good content you guys are putting out the past few months. Really informative and honest reviews. If I would live on the island I would have definitively come by when all this nonsense is over. I wish your country inhabitants will do this and bring you smiles and prosperity. Thanks again!
Can't believe I'm commenting - but glad to have watched some of your videos while I'm unable to ride... that being said I have a silver blue sportbike and never heard of the Furygan name - blue matches my bike, went online and I might have found the very last size large on earth, even on sale (I never get good deals) and ordered it immediately. Got it soon thereafter even after ordering from some out of country website - the jacket is great. Great color, fit, style, etc... yeah, consumerism and all - I'm still glad to have watched your really well produced and informative videos... so thanks.
I ride a Rokker Revolition jacket and its an amazing piece. It looks like a regular civil one, but protection is perfect. A friend of mine slided a bit from 50km\h with the same one - no issues at all and no replacement needed, just couple of scratches on jacket, man is perfectly fine. In hot summer weather (like 25+ Cel) its a bit hot when not on a motorcycle. But think its ok for total waterproofness of Revilution line. I'm so happy with it that bought rokker ridertech pants recently. Think, price is reasonable for the Rokker quality - youll ride many years and be a happy protected person. Greetings from Saint-Petersburg!
Well done Chris and Co, another great informative honest review as always. Beats looking through a catalogue any day. Keep them coming. I don't reside in the UK I'm next door in Ireland but I will probably make a trip over to you guys based on the content of your videos after this covit_19 mess I'd dealt with.
In fact these people doing reviews don't care or don't even know that every country has a different summer and temperatures. I bought a Furygan Kenya which is claimed for summer but based on my experience it is good for temperatures up to around 20-25 degrees and above these temperatures it's a struggle inside this jacket. This is the information that people need to know, even manufacturers do NOT know how to display their products and they don't show the inside of the jacket. How these incompetent people pretend bikers buy a jacket online based on a picture???
@@Fee.1 I've found none. Believe me I tried 5 "summer" jackets and I still own 3 of them, they are OK but not suitable for the Australian hot summer. Based on my experience the jacket must be light, have a clean front zip, should have a "mesh" lining, NO any anti rain/wind liner or membrane, two simple front zip pockets, NO elastic to the waist and the sleeves' openings. All jackets I tried are a mix of these specifications and I feel like designers know very very little about motorcycle summer jackets other than playing 3D software on computers. The only jacket that I'm eyeing is the Tucano Urbano Spencer jacket because I think they made it right, the jacket looks very casual and ticks all requirements. But unfortunately it's hard to find (for me) so depending on your country you might be luckier. A very very sad note and a thumb down about Tucano Urbano (Italian brand) is that they never replayed to my e-mail and my request for support from their Facebook page!
@@billadmond9450 yea I live in New Orleans, southern US, hot and humid most of the time. “Summer jacket” is an oxymoron and there’s just no way around it here. Mesh jackets made like you mentioned are the closest i have found. I own a mesh jacket from Revit that’s not bad at all, but nothing can make even mesh in our summers not feel like an extra couple of layers. That Rukka airflow focused forsair jacket seems promising, as much as is possible at least
@@Fee.1 No, I mean mesh lining not mesh jacket. But the one you suggested is an expensive one, even so the manufacturer doesn't show the inside, as usual so I would only buy after trying it in a shop! Edit: look also for motorbike shirts because they are usually lighter, I like one from Revit.
Like your review but the selection is a bit odd, please do some more variations in the selection and include only AA rated jackets. A rated is for scooters ;) feels so wierd with a leather non perforated summer jacket. But i guess it's what you have in the store Must be something new for 2020 that beats the Marrakech?
The selection is heavily biased. They like to talk a great deal but they don't even try the majority of items they review in real life conditions so they are judging mostly by shallow impressions.
For the longest time, I dismissed Rukka when looking for summer gear. I assumed, and it seemed so, that their expertise and focus was gear for cool climates. I see they've come a long way from those days!
Great review. One of the rare video that handle the products with such great and objective approrach. Thanks a lot. How about Klim Induction and Rukka Strechair? Wouldn't those qualify to be on this list?
The other respondent is correct. The Forsair Pro is the Stretchair. The Klim Induction looks a great jacket; no reason we're not doing it; there's just a limit to how many jackets we can carry. ML
Shame you seem to have given up on the Rokkertech jacket. What about getting them to make a single layer lightweight dyneema shirt/jacket that could be worn under mesh jackets for high speed use?
We haven't given up on the Rokkertech jacket. I think Rokker have. It was perhaps too expensive for a shirt. The underwear idea is already done by people like Bowtex already. ML
Dear Alan. The Level 1 back protector isn't available from the UK distributor and we believe has been discontinued by Rukka. We have not seen one available for more that two years. The only time we ever see the Level One protector is in the Nivala jacket. ML.
Thanks for the reviews! -Would love if rukka released a forsair 2 with super fabric down the shouders and sleeve outers, think I'm going to go for the baja (once lock down ends), even though i do not go off road much for that extra piece of mind in terms of abrasion resistance!
Yes, that makes sense. The Forsair is up to road riding. The Marrakesh is, in our view, probably more robust, but I think the Baja gives the best combination of safety and air flow. It is just a bit more expensive. ML
Why do all of the "hot weather/summer" jackets I see reviewed on the web have choke-style collars? My home town once went 15 days straight over 38 degrees celcius! No way I can find a "summer" jacket to suit my climate I suppose.
Christopher Blais do you mean it isn’t very good for the U.K.? I have just bought the Marrakesh jacket so hope it isn’t going to be rubbish with our typical summer weather
@@Motolegends Well, Lee and Ronnie are still both legends! You're putting out tremendously knowledgeable and engaging videos. I know just how hard that can be, and what a thankless task it often is! Keep up the good work!
I just purchased a Klim Induction. Very good ventilation. Paid $350 for it . My opinion it's overpriced. I don't think the zipper will last more than 2 years. It's not even a close comparison to my 13 year old Alpinestar mess jacket that I bought on closeout for $89 . I'm going to hang onto the old Old Alpinestar. I'm sure it will out last the Klim. Also forget the water proof liners Get a good rain jacket. And a electric heated liner. I've rode 30 to 90 degree on trips. And stayed pretty comfortable.
You look very smart in that waistcoat. Very English. I'll have a Halvarssons Eagle, sir. The best motorcycling clothing videos on TH-cam. Understated. Are you listening, Revzilla?
@@Motolegends Sure!...... But i'm also talking about beautiful shades of all the colours.....lovely blues, greens reds, yellows etc. Still it probably reduces your outlay in the stock you have to hold & makes life easier & cheaper for the manufacturers too. It also seems to fit in nicely with the Hipster trend. Hmm!.... it seems even the world of motorcycling is being socially engineered.
Belstaff is just way too overpriced for what it is. We have a bunch of companies like them in the US that put out just as good of a product, if not better and for half the price. It seems like a buy for the name only type of brand.

The waterproof sealing in the rokker jeans is coming easily off.
I’m disappointed in the revolution by rokker it is to hot above 20 celcius
First time visiting your channel. I have to say I'm impressed with your in depth content. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Melbourne.
The Rukka Forsair Pro "is knitted not woven". Brilliant detail. I learned something new!
Excellent review! Sure, it was 70 minutes long. But spending 7 minutes per jacket seems perfectly reasonable to me!
Well done Chris and Co, another great informative honest review as always. Beats looking through a catalogue any day. Keep them coming.
I don't reside in the UK I'm next door in Ireland but I will probably make a trip over to you guys based on the content of your videos after this covit_19 mess I'd dealt with.
We look forward to seeing you. If you come by public transport we can always pick you up from the railway station.
@@Motolegends that be perfect thanks
@@Motolegends you wouldn't happen to know the best form of public transport to get to you? I have two choices _ plane or boat
@@danthechippie4439 Plane is usually quicker.
Superb and thorough presentation, thank you. And now I fancy a bacon sandwich as well..
StretchAir is a new name of Forsair or is it different model? And what's the model of this Scott waterproof jacket?
I think the UK has a different definition of Summer than my region. Any tip videos for staying safe while riding in Sauna’s ?
In fact these people doing reviews don't care or don't even know that every country has a different summer and temperatures.

Great review some decent jackets with reasonable prices
Why did you not included the Klim induction Jacket and in wich one the air flow Is better and cooler: Klim induction , Rukka, Baja S4?
Where do you stock your mites and rats?
Impressed! I’m glad to find your channel!
Excellent video again Chris
Great review. One of the rare video that handle the products with such great and objective approrach. Thanks a lot. How about Klim Induction and Rukka Strechair? Wouldn't those qualify to be on this list?
I believe the Forsair Pro is called the Stretchair outside the UK, for reasons which have not been ascertained...
The other respondent is correct. The Forsair Pro is the Stretchair. The Klim Induction looks a great jacket; no reason we're not doing it; there's just a limit to how many jackets we can carry. ML

According to the Rukka website they do a Level 1 "Allback" protector as well as the Level 2 ?
Dear Alan. The Level 1 back protector isn't available from the UK distributor and we believe has been discontinued by Rukka. We have not seen one available for more that two years. The only time we ever see the Level One protector is in the Nivala jacket. ML.

Apparel Apprel what’s the difference. Pronunciation I guess.
My experience with Helston jackets has not been so good so far...
I gotta try me a Belstaff jacket, love their style.
Wore a Belstaff for a long time. Great jacket
The top left hand pocket on the Belstaff jacket is sewn on really sideways
No, I think that's just on our dummy. It is not a slanted pocket on this jacket. ML
@@Motolegends Hi, it's the Belstaff jacked at the end of the video (Last jacket reviewed). Pocket is crooked!
Belstaff moves back to the UK and starts cheaping out on armor? Not a good look
Why do all of the "hot weather/summer" jackets I see reviewed on the web have choke-style collars? My home town once went 15 days straight over 38 degrees celcius! No way I can find a "summer" jacket to suit my climate I suppose.
A lot of jackets to fetch bacon sandwiches...good stuff
I wish I lived in a climate where the Marrakesh was a true summer jacket - it's without a doubt the most comfortable motorcycle jacket in existence.
Christopher Blais do you mean it isn’t very good for the U.K.? I have just bought the Marrakesh jacket so hope it isn’t going to be rubbish with our typical summer weather
GPZ Fan no, I’m in the US on the East cost - humid & often over 30C. I think the Marrakesh is perfect up to about 26/27 or 80f.
Christopher Blais thank you, that’s good to hear 😊
What's Lee Evans doing selling motorcycle gear?
I can't win. Sometimes I am Lee Evans, sometimes I am Ronnie Corbett. Why is nobody mentioning Steve McQueen?

I'm going to hang onto the old
Old Alpinestar. I'm sure it will out last the Klim.
Also forget the water proof liners
Get a good rain jacket. And a electric heated liner. I've rode 30 to 90 degree on trips. And stayed pretty comfortable.
You look very smart in that waistcoat. Very English. I'll have a Halvarssons Eagle, sir.
The best motorcycling clothing videos on TH-cam. Understated. Are you listening, Revzilla?
I would use a Scott waterproof membrane even taking a shower. Man you sell that one.
And why do most of them seem to come in black? :(
Cheaper to produce in quantity - simples
Eagle jacket nice!!
Registering for warranties should be illegal
My wife complains about 'exposed skin' all the time. Maybe I should wear a Belstaff on and off the bike.
I'm old enough to remember back in the day when motorcycle clothing used to be in colour.
Dear Gary. You sound about my age! You really can't find a decent bright yellow or bright green leather jacket these days. ML
@@Motolegends Sure!...... But i'm also talking about beautiful shades of all the colours.....lovely blues, greens reds, yellows etc. Still it probably reduces your outlay in the stock you have to hold & makes life easier & cheaper for the manufacturers too.
