I used to have the AS Ice leather jacket but the colar tore the hell out of my neck so I bought the JR CBR leather jacket back in FEB/MAR. I haven't had it that long and the f'in zipper (front) broke! Just snapped right off. I have it rigged up with a zip tie. Yeah, I ride almost everyday, but that shouldn't of happened? Oh, and the pants/zipper attachment broke off, and the seam started to rip up on the rear of the right shoulder. Have any of you guys/gals had any problems with JR stuff? I was even looking at the Speedmaster suit but after these lil problems, IDK.

 

I have'nt had any problems with my Joe Rocket Jacket but there are many experts on this forum that feel otherwise about Joe Rocket products. Mabe their right. Johnny

 

call them up and complain, it can't hurt. They may even send you a new jacket.

 

I've never had any problems with Joe Rocket stuff, but if I did I would definitely call/email/write a letter airing your issues with their product.

 

when I first got my jacket, I pulled it out of the box, put it on, and the sleeve zipper broke right off in my hand. called the place I ordered from, and they replaced it immediatly. since then, I have crash tested it a couple of times and it has held up very well. although the main zipper is starting to come loose at the very bottom.

I have heard some people say their stuff is crap, and comes apart on impact, and then on the other hand, you see the pro's using their gear. I understand that the speedmaster stuff is good quality, I think they have different quality of gear. You buy the low end stuff, you get low quality, spend a little more $$, and get the good stuff.
I hope at least.

all that to be said, at this point, I trust the variousJR gear that I have, but if Im going tospend hi dollar on a suit, its going to be a teknic or the likes

 

my dad has had a JR jacket for almost a year and it is perfect. and we both have gloves from them and im a firm believer in the stuff. i love the jacket and both pairs of gloves. ill keep buyin it til it fails me.
