That's nice. Short leather jackets don't suit us fatties. We need more of a touring cut to make it up and over the hump ;-).

Personally I would like a fully perforated two piece leather suit. I'd rather get wet from rain than sweat any day.

From what I have read on many forums and related websites is that even genuine 600 denier cordura (check speelink) does not fare well in abrasion tests. A frequent analogy that seems to pop up is that it is little better than denim (in a decent slide). Given the miserable performance .

Saved me in a 80km/h slide. I wrote this a just a few posts before this. Jacket and pants are both still useable, and saved my ass. Certainly far greater than any denim would have. Both my pants and jacket held up fine, and neither are top of the line. In fact, I still use the pants, the jacket was replaced a while after as I finally brough a good quality leather jacket, and I will be getting an expensive cordura jacket to replace the old one soon"ish" for commuting.

Do'nt believe everything you read, personal experience shows that it holds up fine.

I‘ve yet to see a jacket with a decent back protector built in (including jackets costing many more hundreds of dollars).

My Teknic had a fairly decent back protector moulded into the back of it. When my VFR750 was written off, I landed flat on my back after bouncing off the side of the Audi that u-turned into me. I was slightly winded, but my back wasn't in the least bit damaged.

From what I have read on many forums and related websites is that even genuine 600 denier cordura (check speelink) does not fare well in abrasion tests.... I have a couple of Dririder jackets. One has been subjected to a slide of approx 1 to 1.5 m and the mesh on the front was holed through abrasion.

The first time I came off after buying my Teknic, I would have slid for no more than a metre. I ended up with a hole the size of a 10c piece on the sleeve. The Teknic had padded kevlar panels on the underside of the forearms, the elbows and the shoulders. In subsequent 'asphalt encounters' these got scuffed, but were intact, as were my leather pants. I had the sleeves of the jacket overlaid with leather because the cordura (either 800 denier or 1000 - can't recall) abraded so alarmingly.
Cordura is convenient for all-weather biking, but really can't stand up to abrasion like leather. Even kevlar abrades more readily than leather does.

[Elysium]

Nice looking jackets. Just had a look at 1Tonne site and fuck me some of the gear is way better then the old stuff I bought off you guys years ago. Might have to get some new gear from you guys I think. Definatly need new pants, jacket and boots.

How accurate is the sizing on these?
My chest is 104, which on 1tonne's sizing puts me into xl
My current 'not so dry' rider is L and fits eairly loose.
Oh and has anyone been for a long ride in the rain wearing one of these ? wanna tell us about it??
The older I get the more interested I get in the hi viz and having it incorporated in the jacket is better than the vest I carry around with me but rarely put on

[1tonne]

The sizing is accurate. Measure your chest with only a T-Shirt on and then check your meausrments.
You are boarder liner on either size. A Large may be too snug and so I would probably go for an XL.
We have sold many of these jackets and they have proven themselves in bad weather.
The Wellington Police even purchased some of these jackets after trialling them out.

If for some reason they start to leak after a few years then we also sell replacement waterproof liners for $50.00. So you do not have to buy new jacket. COOL!!
