Fulmer jackets are surprisingly good for their price. They're usually somewhere around $100-200. I got a mesh one (live in the desert, mesh is a must here) on sale for $70 as my first jacket over three years ago. Comes with tonnes of pockets, thermal liner, decent reflection, and while the armour looked like foam, it was removable so dropping an extra hundred on some proper pads still left me under $200. Recently a friend got the women's cut on an updated model, which was identical except it had proper armour and the liner was waterproof.
Glad to see the FG Jaunt included. I purchased one about 5 years ago on a closeout for $99. Upgraded the back pad to D30 for cheap. Only replaced it this year because all the Velcro wore out.
@@zer0h0n0ur3 I just evacuated from Penang. Rented a scooter while there and was given access to their full range of tropical grade protective gear for free. This consisted of...

Just went and bought my first motojacket after spending two hours and more in the store. Men's, slightly bulky in the back (length/ass=concave), beautiful leather, sits snug otherwise, D30 back, shoulders, and elbows, vents in arm and back, pocketed and removable lining... and not branded like cattle. 300 dollars. Thank you, Ryan!
Hey Ryan, love this channel and your informative yet entertaining vids :) Thanks for mentioning options for female riders. Would LOVE if you made a full length gear review for women's jackets though. I'd love to hear about the best leather options out there. I get that this might be a bit more difficult as you can't really wear them yourself, but i'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it! Its so difficult to find resources for us gals bc everything is so male-centred- like you said, times are changing and there are more female riders than ever!
As usual, far more than we paid for… can’t decide whether this was more informative or more entertaining. Oh well, I guess it doesn’t really matter… Please don’t stop :)
I wore the Rev'it Trench on a two week motorcycle tour of the Himalayas last july. Overall it was great, we had some hot weather into 40 celcius which wasn't so great but it did a good job in a range of conditions. I didn't bother with the zip in thermal just layered up underneath. I had a few small low speed offs in the dirt/streams/gravel and had no damage on the jacket. Waterproof napoleon pocket for my passport (in a ziplock too) and had the Rev'it back protector in. You can also zip in the cooling vest where the thermal zips in and it has pockets for chest protection if you want to get gnarley . I commute to work with it too and it doesn't look very biker off the bike more like a technical gore tex jacket. When you consider the features and protection and compare it to something like Arcteryx it's a bargain. Comes with the Short Zip for connecting to the Jeans belt thing or a long zip for the more technical pants they sell.
I lived in Vancouver for about 7 months back in 2010. Your videos make me miss the best time of my life. I just want to tell you that you are 100% my guest if you ever happen to be in Rome (Italy). I don't even have a motorcycle yet :)
I am from ashion country 🇵🇰 Pakistan and I make these jackets brands company jackets and I want do business if you need any jackets send me semple I make jackets for you and I have need a partner
ive loved everything that youve done in the past few months and the evolution was awesome. but i was just thinking how much i missed the old review videos. never disappointed with your channel!
Some of these look pretty nice, but I already own the discontinued Icon Sanctuary which I bought from you guys a couple of years ago on clearance. Got a great deal for such a wonderfully protective jacket. It is however a little on the warm side when temperatures start getting into the high 20's and above and so if I buy any second jackets, it would likely be some sort of mesh jacket to use when summer is at its peak.
In a word, mesh. I like Olympia Motosports offerings. I'm long waisted, so I prefer a 3/4 jacket if possible, which is rare in mesh jackets. I am currently using Olympia Motosports Denali 2 jacket, and I like it a lot.
I'm about a half inch shorter and about the same weight. I just ordered the Medium Tall Firstgear Jaunt. Thanks for checking the size for me. Best motorcycle content on the Tubes. Keep it up. You guys are scoring on the goal every time you try. Thanks!
My favorite deal ever was a Tour Master Flex Series 2 Textile/Mesh Jacket for 69 Freedom smackers nearly a decade ago. Closeout deal. I bought two and still have one in reserve. My first was hundreds more back in 2008. Truly a dinosaur. It gets compliments all the time and still looks new when I use the outer rain liner.
Excellent information as always but ... and I KNOW you don't want to hear this ... the jackets at any Harley dealership are _mostly_ great buys. From unarmored to armored, from water dissolvable to waterproof, from poco pennies to beaucoup bucks AND you can try them on and see how they look and fit! Quality on average is as good to better than what you find elsewhere. I'm a long-term big bad-arse biker with over five inch zippers and my wife LOVES shopping there. You want to make HER happy too? There's a dealer at most 70 miles away no matter where you live ... usually.
Great vid as usual, but I'm not sure how the Icon Raiden in any of its iterations didn't make the cut. Cheaper and better than anything here imo. I learned about it from watching you wear it, and it replaced my $900 Klim, as it is better in every meaningful way. Anyway, keep up the good work!
I scored a 6th gear mesh jacket at the Progressive show in DC 3 years ago for about $200 shortly before the end of the show. It's a 6xl with rain and thermal liners in an adventure cut. Truly a 4 season jacket with a vest and bibs I have ridden into the 20's. It's got a few low sides and an Endo. I would have been in much worse shape without it. It's showing some wear but still my everyday. Being full mesh is great in the summer.
Good connection Mr Luzuk. I wonder if they could pick up a firefly theme on a future video and boost the already awesome content. It would be 'epic' as the kids say.
2:39 thank you sir!!!! This sent me down a wonderful rabbit hole of learning these ratings and how to figure out what is what. Now that I am older and have a family and all, I have been looking into upgrading my leather to something that is more protective, but never really knew how to determine what is good and what isn't other than word of mouth or buying the most expensive thing and hoping, now I can search for a CE prEN 17092-2:2017 Class AAA certified leather jacket and know that I'm going to likely be getting the best protection and then make my best guess decision from there. Thanks dude, this is something I've been wanting to learn for a long time!
I never pay more than $100 for jacket or pants. Great sales all the time. Icon, Fly and Rocky Mountain ATV Tusk brands. I may have to break that rule for some good boots, but my current Icon Raider boots were only $95 and are breathable, which is important in hot NM and AZ. I have noticed that if one company has it on sale (like Revzilla) they all will, but sometimes you have to move fast.

@@wolfmannn2008 yeah me either but I've only been ridding for 45 years. So I probably dont have your experience. Oh but I do have a new bike because of the money I saved on what would have been useless gear. Oh and I've been comfortable the whole time. I got a 50$ half helmet I wear in the winter and when I'm forced to by commy states. But it does quite well in 4° and snow.
@@wolfmannn2008 I did.. lots.. but you can't go that fast with 125cc moped and 150cc sports bike XD 3 major incident: 1. scartched my face but somehow it leaves no mark, my face is as good as new. 2. was hard brake to avoid the ... no-so-obedient rider and by some miracle there was a pot hole in front of me, I literally flew away from my moped and rolled over 5 meter from my crashed bike and again... with some miracle.. no broken bone, only scratched my palm.. not even any scratch on any part of my body... 3. A literal full body hit from bike behind me because I avoided a car that turn without a sign lamp. And many minor incidents... sliding when cornering because of muds... Beginner mistake of holding your brake and full throttle... Get stamp on my feet with hot exhaust... A full brake that makes my rear wheel up of almost 45 degree because some children suddenly run on the street. And many minor incident that cannot be immagined by developed country hahha Well... the apparel showed in this video is literally cost half of my moped hahaha...

Can you take a look at Viking Cycle gear? I'd love to get some professional reviews of what I've found so far to be reasonably good, and underpriced, gear.

It's kind of weird to see that you have to wear a baggy fit XL Rev'IT! at your 6'3 because that's pretty much the average size of the Dutch guys that make that jacket. You would expect them to have more of a European tall cut.
The Rev'it Trench is a touch looser than most of their stuff. I have the Worker Overshirt and it's tighter than the Trench although the trench has room for the lining.
I bought a really great Teknic jacket 10 years ago. Waterproof as hell. I have ridden in total downpours for hrs...on the highway. Dry as a bone. $150.
just wanted to say how much I enjoy your vlogs. Watching your vlogs out of order...just saw the 'rant;'' about motorcycle journalism. I'm in the UK - I am sure you have more viewers than you think. Keep it up (ugh that sounds so patronising - its meant with the kindest thought)
Hello Fnine Based on your reviews of riding jackets, I have been able to get allot of good information..I watched almost all your reviews. I have been riding 48 years.wearing leather and denim I saw the Firstgear Jaunt in your video and loved it. I couldn't find one in my price range. So I did some digging and ended up getting the Firstgear Kenya 3 season waterproof jacket. Thanks, Keep up the goofy antics they keep us laughing. Ride on brotha
VERY clever and witty reviews. FortNine videos are all excellent and well written.....and subtle funny enough to watch merely for the entertainment factor (which I do as I don't own a bike)

You are the only person that reminds me how good was to watch topgear uk ofcourse.
And you have it.
Randomly remove eyes at 60 😂
Wisdom and financial prudence wrapped up in a wonderous review of jackets that our past forgot.... Thank You!!
Everytime I see Fortnine, I am laughing to myself that I only use my Hoodie with only 1 protection: UV
KevinMulia So I take it you have not crashed yet.
@@wolfmannn2008 yeah me either but I've only been ridding for 45 years. So I probably dont have your experience. Oh but I do have a new bike because of the money I saved on what would have been useless gear. Oh and I've been comfortable the whole time. I got a 50$ half helmet I wear in the winter and when I'm forced to by commy states. But it does quite well in 4° and snow.
@@davidfellows6250 Just because you have gotten lucky does not imply you have been making the best decisions.
@@wolfmannn2008 I did.. lots.. but you can't go that fast with 125cc moped and 150cc sports bike XD
3 major incident:
1. scartched my face but somehow it leaves no mark, my face is as good as new.
2. was hard brake to avoid the ... no-so-obedient rider and by some miracle there was a pot hole in front of me, I literally flew away from my moped and rolled over 5 meter from my crashed bike and again... with some miracle.. no broken bone, only scratched my palm.. not even any scratch on any part of my body...
3. A literal full body hit from bike behind me because I avoided a car that turn without a sign lamp.
And many minor incidents...
sliding when cornering because of muds...
Beginner mistake of holding your brake and full throttle...
Get stamp on my feet with hot exhaust...
A full brake that makes my rear wheel up of almost 45 degree because some children suddenly run on the street.
And many minor incident that cannot be immagined by developed country hahha
Well... the apparel showed in this video is literally cost half of my moped hahaha...
@@tempestandacomputer6951 or circum to vh popularisum. Lucky you say a? Good for you you believe in thing like luck. No it wasn't luck the tooth fairy keeps me from harm. Ps. If your afraid of life you should deal yourself in a bubble. No ham, oh wait what about loneliness. Oh hell.
Helpful, very informative, densely packed information and humorous... Thank you for the video and greetings from germany :)
When I grow up, I want to be a horologist!
Came for the jackets. Stayed for the commentary 🤣 always an enjoyable watch!
Can you take a look at Viking Cycle gear? I'd love to get some professional reviews of what I've found so far to be reasonably good, and underpriced, gear.
The Preacher Plays, I’ll second that request! I’ve got one of their jackets, and I’m curious how it stacks up against the (much) more expensive competitors.
Great video. It's amazing to see how jackets are evolving and making it fashionable to wear in day to day business.
I am from ashion country 🇵🇰 Pakistan and I make these jackets brands company jackets and I want do business if you need any jackets send me semple I make jackets for you and I have need a partner
It's kind of weird to see that you have to wear a baggy fit XL Rev'IT! at your 6'3 because that's pretty much the average size of the Dutch guys that make that jacket. You would expect them to have more of a European tall cut.
The Rev'it Trench is a touch looser than most of their stuff. I have the Worker Overshirt and it's tighter than the Trench although the trench has room for the lining.
I bought a really great Teknic jacket 10 years ago. Waterproof as hell. I have ridden in total downpours for hrs...on the highway. Dry as a bone. $150.
If that’s 5 inches I have a 3 foot wiener. Classic. Thank you for the timely video, I have been researching jackets lately. Good info.
just wanted to say how much I enjoy your vlogs. Watching your vlogs out of order...just saw the 'rant;'' about motorcycle journalism. I'm in the UK - I am sure you have more viewers than you think. Keep it up (ugh that sounds so patronising - its meant with the kindest thought)
...any more than a horolgist studies loose women - OMG I can't believe you said that! I almost shat myself laughing.😂
20 years ago people were arguing leather versus technical jackets. I still have my leather Kilimanjaro from '98 and I don't argue about extra armour.
The real question is did Ryan steal 3 packs Nacho or Cool Ranch Doritos 5:58
You're seriously my go to for all reviews. Thanks!
fun fact: nothing is truly bulletproof, only bullet resistant up to a particular cartridge :^)
Will a 50 Cal go through tho? Just asking for an American friend...
@@generallymexican8978 congrats, you asked a stupid question. the answer is, 'it depends'
I can never get enough of your videos. Love the details!
3ft LOL
nice video though, I love Rev'It Products!
Bought the Icon Tarmac on your recommendation and so far it’s the best commuter jacket I’ve owned!
"Cheap"
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
Hello Fnine
Based on your reviews of riding jackets, I have been able to get allot of good information..I watched almost all your reviews. I have been riding 48 years.wearing leather and denim I saw the Firstgear Jaunt in your video and loved it. I couldn't find one in my price range. So I did some digging and ended up getting the Firstgear Kenya 3 season waterproof jacket.
Thanks,
Keep up the goofy antics they keep us laughing.
Ride on brotha
This dude flexing at 6'3" the whole time i am thinking 5'10" wtf🤣🤣🤣
" I have an athletic build " mate, you are also as tall as my 7 year old daughter!!
5'10"?? I'm 5'3" LOL
VERY clever and witty reviews.
FortNine videos are all excellent and well written.....and subtle funny enough to watch merely for the entertainment factor (which I do as I don't own a bike)
