"Racing" Jackets
Hey all,
I'm not sure if this should go in "For-sale" or what, but seeing as I am not selling, I'd put it here. Basically, a few months ago I ordered one of these jackets from eBay. I wasn't expecting much for the price but I was blown away for the quality for the price.
The sellers page is here: time-sports-international | eBay
I am no way connected in any way to these guys, I just thought I'd let you guys know. I got this jacket Honda Repsol Red Motorbike racing leather Jacket | eBay and couldn't be happier. I get tonnes of comments about it. YES. it is a knockoff. NO. It not really Dianese... but its not meant to fool anyone.
The PROs of this jacket:
- Price
- Ships with Free shipping (used DHL for me, had it in less than a week)
- REAL Leather, not that plastic leather crap
- Well stitched together. Extra stitching near the impact areas
- Heavy duty YYK zipper
- Pants zipper
CONs
- The armor is junk. I just took some Knox armor out of my old jacket and used it.
- Fits a bit tight - I'm a 44 and its snug. But I guess these jackets are meant to be.
- A bit short. I wish it was an inch or so longer, but I am "long torso'd"
- No removable liner, so its warm
If your looking for a inexpensive jacket that isn't cheap, this was a great choice. I'd order another.
