Default Speed & strength, what do you think?

I just bought a jacket from motorcycle superstore that was a Speed and strength jacket(still waiting for it to get here). I havent heard much about their gear but the price was reasonable and it was what i was looking for, the reviews looked good too. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this brand and if so what do you think?

Just did a review on a1500 series helmet they sell..for two hundred..i think the helmet should be just a boot more quiet..otherwise good helmet..and decent brand..

I have 2 S&S jackets.. One mesh and one textile. Very impressed by the quality especially given the price point (bought mine on clearance). Another friend also has two of their jackets. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

The jacket i have is great, no complaints about it. I just havent heard much about them before i got the jacket. Its warm and cool without the liner and vents open.

I had a ss1000 helmet. It worked out good for me. I high sided in it and smacked my head pretty hard. It did its job for sure.

I have a S&S leather jacket that has taken the place of an alpinestars just fine. No issues,sturdy feel, good weight, mobility and fit. I would buy again, and suggest anyone to do the same.

S&S is an overseas brand that was recently bought by American motorcycle "stuff" distributor Tucker Rock. They had some pretty "high end stuff" for being a non-European brand before the buyout and it seems the QC level hasn't real dropped. I wear their riding jeans and I love 'em.

I have a Moment of Truth jacket by S&S. I wore it during the summer, fall and as late as January. Pretty good three season jacket and overall would recommend their stuff.
