Road test: QMoto Viper jacket

[AllanB]

It's got bug splats on it...

That helps to water proof leather

Thanks for the write up Hitcher appreciate it.

Tell me what do you think about the length? I added a bit more cover over the lower back.... considering so many are wearing Jeans and the like these days.

Can you please post the length of the back (from collar to bottom).

Mr H., how do you find the cuff fitt over your gloves; snug and long enough?

The Length is 75 cm from top of collar to bottom (at the back)

The jacket is designed for the gloves to go over top (sportsbike style) reason is that gloves carry alot of armour these days and to accomodate them all inside the jacket sleeve would make the sleeve very big, additionally 90% of riders wear the gloves on the outside to

cheers

Thanks Quasi,

Looks like 2cm longer than my current jacket, which is long enough so that is great.

Re gloves.... I just find on wet days my gloves get wet with water running down the arms into the glove if the glove is on the outside.

Mr H. - sorry for the threadjack - back to your regular programming.

I wear my gloves over the jacket sleeves. The only time I don't is when wearing my GoreTex jacket.

The reason I asked is it looks to me in the photo you posted, your gloves are tucked into your jacket sleeves, not over the jacket sleeves.

It depends on ya gloves mate,most of ours go underneath as well as over top, but gloves with masses of plastic on the wrist are hard to get under.

Those are cuffless Teknic summer gloves. That's probably why.

I like the shortened logo, less intrusive.
And hmmm, I've always tucked my gloves into my jacket because the gloves are quite short, I shall try the other way around.

I bought one, worst mistake ever. Well maybe not ever, once i hooked up with a guy in a pub, that was a baaaad mistake, but its pretty close.
