Heh, when I was a teenager by 125cc was covered with my ancient trench coat which I wore riding.

Is there any armour in the jacket?

No.


So it's a jacket, then.

That's like taking the roof off your house to protect your car when it's raining. Actually, might Kickstart that one Rolling Eyes

NEW! From Crapco - the people who brought you the helicopter ejector seat and the motorcycle sidecar
(which cunningly combines the exposure to the weather of the motorcycle and the lack of speed and
manoeuvrability of the car
Thumbs Up ) You couldn't make it up. Laughing

Shows how far behind the times they are. The cool kids would have created a new cryptocurreny to fund their project.

Take note Adam I expect to see YFPOS hitting the exchanges soon.

Loving the part about them not being able to flog their motorcycle jacket as a motorcycle jacket.

Do the chase-me-sailor tats and ironic digital watch come with the jacket?

What sizes will be available?

There will be six sizes for the jacket – M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL and 4XL. The cover will come in four sizes (LxWxH):

S - 183 x 89 x 120cm

M - 203 x 89 x 120cm

L - 228 x 99 x 124cm

XL - 246 x 104 x 127cm

The cover is detachable from the jacket and can be washed separately.


So it's actually just a jacket with a large pocket on the back to stuff your rain cover in

What we have here is BuiltinBackpackPal

Yes, but the clever bit is that the jacket itself isn't waterproof and won't offer any protection in a spill. It takes a very Special mind to think of that.

I've got an old bike cover somewhere. I shall just cut a head and arm holes in it and achieve the same result. Might increase the old mpg a bit though.

"have" might be a strong word to use.

Surely having a dirty T-shirt will give him a bit of extra hipster cred?
