Soul Revolver Jackets

I found a company on the internet that do very expensive but (IMO) very cool motorcyle jackets. Has anybody had any experience with them, are they to be trusted before i shell out £250 on one?

Thanks for any help,
Ben

Never even heard of them mate. This post isn't going to be much help to be honust. Infact it's probablys unhelpful just wanted to say I would look cool as fuck in this.

To be honust you could probablys find similar jackets of different makes that cost less.

Just realised they do the movie replica jackets. Can you not get it else where.

How are they bike jackets? Other than they're a bit thicker.

They look like they have no armor, so would be almost useless in a crash, just protect you from rash.

There's some nice jackets on there. I wouldn't wear one on a bike due to the lack of armour etc. but they look quite nice.

It is only for a 125, I'm just not feeling having to wear a big bulky bike jacket for the next year or so

A 60 mph crash on a 125 will hurt just as much as a 60 mph crash on a 600.

I'm a hypocrite though, I ride in shorts and plimmys and shit.

I know the risks, I'm just very conscious about how I look. At the end of the day safety comes first I'd just rather have a bike jacket I feel comfortable wearing on and off the bike. Seeing as I'll be riding it to college, work and anywhere else its probably the only jacket I'll wear until I buy a car so I want it to be pretty cool is all

Im struggling to find any haha, they all seem very sporty and serious. Not how I try and come off. I don't want to meet people and they think I have some sort of crazy litre bike Smile

Hi mate do not get those jackets. They are purely for fashion. They would very likely rip open if you were to come off and have no armour.

Get a plain black bike jacket with decent knox armour and a knox back insert. This was my jacket after hitting the ground at around 40mph.

Notice how thick the leather is. It's also worth noting that at the green coloured bit the leather has been grounded away and is very thin. Who cares what anyone thinks of you? if they are going to judge to then they really aren't worth worrying about anyway.

I love gear and at the time I did wish I had bike trousers and gloves on when I came off to prevent my hands being out of action for a couple of weeks (I was still out fixing the bike the day after, 1 handed though. Laughing

)

Now I'm grateful of hitting the road hard without gear. It may actually have been better for my health in the long term. (coming off with a 1 piece suit, back protector, boots etc might not have reinforced anything about my own mortality that I might have learned otherwise).
