 Posted: 18:24 - 29 Dec 2011 Post subject: Sartso twats - UPDATE |
 |

Just a rant really, I was given a pair of Sartso Killers for Christmas.
Marjorly awsome etc until I found out that womens Sartso Jeans do not have pockets to put armour in! I think this is completly not on. When you research Sartso's they make a big point of mentioning that they have this feature which makes them stand out from the rest. But they fail to mention that they dont give a shit about their lady customers.
Wankers!
So now I have to exchange them for a pair of ill fitting mens Sartos.
And the mens version are the same price as the womens, which is not cheap at £130.
Rant over. ____________________ "The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had"

I have just noticed that in fairness to them. However the homepage which says 'Our Kevlar® jeans have incorporated armour pockets in the knee along with the Sartso Kevlar® (Safety Capsule) to offer their customers peace of mind when they are riding in our jeans.' does not have small print excluding certain lines.
I got these ones https://www.sartso.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=129&Itemid=151
Even on the product page it does not exclude the pockets for the armour  ____________________ "The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had" |

Above that image using this link https://www.sartso.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=129&Itemid=151 it says
'All SARTSO jeans are fully equipped with our special grade lightweight Kevlar® specially designed to withstand abrasion.'
To me that image just shows where the Kevlar is.
I think their site is very misleading.
I cant find anywhere on their site that tells you which models dont have pockets for the armour.

Look at the previous message though, it does state that they should have the extra length under knee Armour pockets, depends how you see it I guess.
If they argue the least they should do is edit that picture so it does incorporate all their designs. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

It would appear that Sartso believe ladies don't actually ride motorcyles looking at the pics on the website.
I notice that for the full range of mens pants the photos show the rider wearing a pair of nice shiny bike boots. For the womens range they vary from canvas trainers (with unfastened laces) to open-toed high-heeled sandals. While I have ridden in both in the past (OK I may have fastened my laces!) I don't recommend either in terms of protection for the old tootsies.......
Suspect that as they seem to think women don't ride they don't need the protection of extra armour. If I were you Shereen I don't think I'd be swapping my ladies jeans for a pair of badly fitting mens, I think I'd be asking for a full reund under the Sale of Goods Act (item not fit for purpose) and spending my money with a company that isn't quite so discriminatory and sexist.  ____________________ Sod falling in love, I wanna fall in chocolate.  |

I reckon knee armour in jeans is as likely to cause you damage as prevent it.
It is invariably in the wrong place and there are no straps to anchor it in position.
Unfixed armour in the wrong place does more harm than good.
Knee armour should be about a third of the way down the outside of your shin when you're stood up if you want it to land up on your knee when you're sat on the bike.
I took the knee armour out of my red route trousers for this reason. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I dont wear the armour either. It was always too far down on my berik ones that I got last year. This year I got hood ones and I asked for no armour. Not sure where it is in these jeans but I think that kevlars are meant to look like normal jeans and having bulky jeans defeats the object. If I want (and will get) fully armoured jeans, I would get either proper textile or proper leather bottoms.
Call me stupid but stinkwheels reasoning gives me another reason.
Still, check out Hood as the coverage is great and they literally look like jeans. Others have sort of squares and stuff that you can tell where it has been put in but other than being a bit thicker, the hood's look regular. Not sure if they have a ladies range though but many people say they are the best, have great testimonials that you can read on their site and are £30 cheaper than sartso's.

Its not really about if they have armour or not, its about the fact that the whole of their womens range dont have armour. Why?
Its just a bit shit from my point of view  ____________________ "The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had" |
