I have actually ridden to church wearing a 2 piece leather race suit, gauntlets, race boots etc. Might as well go straight for ride afterwards instead of going home to change first. The Lord does not judge, although Susan from the parish council sure did.
Susan is the reason I don't go to church...
It's only what's on the inside that counts. So sad for Susan.
I've worn a suit to church 🤷♂️
@Allie X LOL!

These vides are so good, I could literally watch him talk about a loaf of bread and still watch lol

I honestly think he has the most polished, well scripted, and well presented videos on youtube. Every single video is a joy, even ones for bikes or subjects that don't interest me that much :)
Came to say essentially the same thing.
Yea right same here, he's the best thing since sliced bread. :》
Not only are squids people too, back in the Naval 80's, that was also an enlisted fellow sailor.
I wear an evs compression shirt in the Texas heat. The hard armor isn’t “made for abrasion resistance” but... it works. I put a shirt over it so I don’t look full insane. End up kinda looking like a hockey player. But it keeps me from having a heat stroke. Also the back protector holds a drinking pack!
Hey, if it is actually hard-ish pads itll do
What temperatures you are dealing with?
@@planed1978 Depending on which part of Texas, temps over 100F/38C are the norm for summer. Or so I'm told, I live a couple states up
@@hvymtal8566 here in Dallas I've seen it as high as 105 and thats just heat, not factoring heat generated by road traffic or the heat rising off the pavement. 105 at 60 MPH feels WAYYYYY different than 105 at a dead stop in bumper to bumper. I've nearly passed out twice
@@mattthemotoguy1947 true... My car temperature gauge read 109 once and I couldn't wait for the a.c. to crank up..still ended up with wet shirt and waist after 20 mins. I love This time of winter 😒
Ryan I have an idea for a new video series: A series where you test an old-school motorcycle vs its modern counterpart. Examples could be:
Old dual sport vs new dual sport (like the old DRZ and KLR 650 vs the most trending modern bikes in those categories). It could also be old Supersports vs new ones, or old Naked bikes vs new etc.
I am personally very reserved when it comes to buying new bikes, since purchase is sky high like an expensive night out, and then depreciation hits you like a bad hangover. Furthermore, I often find myself struggling with finding the increasing appeal of many modern bikes, relative to what they offer over older generations in regards to pure bike-for-money factor. I'd never get a new 600 over a bike from 2-3 generations ago. Prices are ever increasing, but is technology and development following suit? I'd love to see your take on this topic!
Greetings from Europe, loving all your work :)
This could be pretty interesting. Like the famous CR500 2-stroke, fearsome machine for sure, but a modern 450cc 4t or a 300cc 2t breaks out the same horsepower and more torque at stock.
That would be unfair. There is no bike in the world that could hold a candle to my 1988 Honda XR600R.
@@BigBeardBuilds What about a 1988 Honda XR600R? Lol
All the new bikes have ABS, that alone is worth the premium. My 2018 gsxs750 also has traction control, which is pretty handy in winter or in heavy rain for peace of mind.
Great idea! I think you'll enjoy one of our upcoming videos. ~RF9

Same here.
Does anybody think that having light summer gear in black color is weird and non-practical???
In my country, you're mostly forced to wear normal white clothes or you'd probably be melted during city commutes.
So, gears like these is only for when you're gonna travel for long distances at a moderately high speed. And at that point, color doesn't really matter...
While black soaks heat worse than lighter colors, it also radiates it better. Hence, Lockheed painted the SR71 black and a lot of people keep painting their car radiators - although the second doesn't really have that great of an effect, as car coolers cool through convection, not radiation.
@@zibingotaeam3716 Tried wearing black t-shirt vs white in summer heat, this black thing burns crazy.
Tried painting surface in white, red, grey and black. During summer noon temperatures were as follows:
white 45
red 52
grey 65
black 72.
I'm done with black cars and black summer riding gear.
I bought the icon shirt cause I’m a squid and it’s hot out. It does get hot at stop lights it’s super nice everywhere else. It really breathes
it does seem quite slly indeed , though white may be nerdy it is so much wiser to wear it for cooling and also visability .But blac is tacticool , companies sell more clothes if they are black and companies need to make proffit , so we are stuck with it untill reason prevails over social pressure .Bucle up , black is here to stay .
I've been doing research and watching motorcycle videos for the past couple of years, I intend on taking an MSF course this year at 46. This was the most informative video I've seen yet on gear. Thank-you!
I don‘t know if I already said this to you: But your clips are real pearls of YT. I follow plenty of bike channels, but your clips, your way to present your different themes, with your ironic humor is outstanding.
Thanks for your work. And, please don‘t stop! I am always hooked in your channel when I have enough of all the other clips about bikes on YT.

All The Gear All The Time, what does KGB mean
Sounds like part of the dopest rap verse of the decade. "So the F-C-C won't let me be or let me be me so let me see, think I'm gonna join the ATGATTKGB"

Would love to see your take on affordable airbag vests. Here at my driving school in Germany they have them and require us to wear them. The co2 cartridge is replaceable so unless the airbag is damaged, it can be used over and over again. Triggered by a tug line.
Or even a full out comparison video with the myth busters like tests.
Hope you all had a great Canada day! I sure continued celebrating though in Germany.
Wo wohnst du bitte?In Deutschland gibt es keine Pflicht Airbag westen in der Fahrschule zu tragen
Airbag vests use argon gas, CO2 is not fast enough and also unstable.
@@synomschulz2209 hab auch noch nie davon gehört. Ich muss nur eine Reflektorveste tragen damit ich als Fahrschüler besser erkannt werde.
@@synomschulz2209 es hat auch keiner etwas von einer allgemeinen Pflicht geredet. Ich hab auch so eine airbag weste tragen müssen beim Fahren weil es die Fahrschule vorschreibt
I have the A-stars airbag vest that zips into your jacket. It kills the airflow because it's basically a plastic bubble around you, but I do feel safer in it having read people's experiences online. I don't wear it when riding locally at inner-city speeds on hot days, but if the temperature is low, it's a nice safety + insulation layer.
Thanks for making soo many amazing videos, you inspired me to get my first bike the other day and I can safely say, your knowledge you share with us helped me heaps!
Great job Ryan it’s amazing how far riding gear has come and no doubt this presentation was only the tip of the iceberg.
Ahh, came back from a good ride and lo and behold, new FortNine video pops up! This is the life right here!
Thank you for getting lo and behold correct.
Same and I was thinking I would need some more ventilated pants
I don't get how all of his 250+ videos are all really high quality, super informative, and have their own spin/theme on them. This man is a genius
Edit: It was pointed out to me that the editing and ideas crew probably has a part to do in the high quality of these videos too, should out all involved in making them.
Shout out to his production and writing crew too- I bet they work really hard for this content and deserve a wink.
It's amazing that what's essentially a retailer advertisement channel has the highest quality content on all of RUclips.
Watching your videos for awhile now..... informative, and hysterical all at the same time, keep them coming
Ryan you are the man!!! Hands down the best biker videos with the coolest delivery. Keep them coming. Cheers
That trigger finger tho! Safety is mentioned in the title. One could say I'm... :D
LOL
You're what?
Trigger Discipline!!! Thx :)
Meh, he’s Canadian.... airsoft rifle. Lol
I was thinking the exact same thing. Checked the comments to see if anyone else noticed that too
The calamari racing team appreciates your tribute
Clever!!
No one is even coming close to your level of content man. Keep it up. Love your videos
Very timely video, especially in this current heat wave in Southern Ontario! As always, well done.
Has Ryan finally been hitting gym lately ?
Or his bike is giving him a hard time 😁
Looks like a malnourished girly man, but hey, he has the best content. Gym? Nah man.

He certainly looks a bit more fit, my guess is he's been working out, either at home or gym.

Been wearing the field armor 👕 since I seen your video and my mesh was too hot in Texas Summer, prob about a month now. It is game changing and amazing. I can't say 1 negative thing about it, highly recommend! It's like wearing nothing at all, but I feel so much more protected than just my spine guard.
Just a heads up: I'm 5'10" 165lbs, average build. I ordered a medium and like how it fits.
Fun and entertaining, with the educational expertise you can only get at FortNine. Love it, still watching from Queensland, Australia.
It’s been so recent since the last F9 video, is this Christmas in July?
Yes.
2:53
*FortNine team brainstorming for a new video*
😂😂😂😂
Do they all play the Recorder in Canada? Even in ig glues?
Great tips! I have been riding with a motocross mesh armor “jacket” jacket for years. You can find them for under $100 if you look in the right places and even though the hard plastic armor isn’t flexible, it works excellent in a crash and then you get to look like mad max
This is great, thank you! Awesome production, interesting style, and as always - good info.
Love your vids. always very informative, always very entertaining, and you never sound like a boring fool just reading what they were told to on a spread sheet. On top of this you always research and test the qualities of something rather than just reading them out. Thank you for uploading these amazing videos.
I've noticed that also
I just love the way you explain and perform brilliant videos... On all biking issues... 👍
For me, the best riding pants for hot days is the Trilobite Dual, at least when I'm going somewhere on the bike and not just riding for fun. It let's you unzip the bottom half of the leg, so when you arrive, you're basically just wearing normal cargo shorts. It's comfy on the bike too, and it has Kevlar on knees and bottom, as well as armor pockets, which I filled with Seesmart.
I am incredibly impressed with the quality of work you put into these videos. Did you take any video editing courses or did you simply learn on the job?
Love my Knox urbane pro “shirt” abrasion resistance where it counts, stitched in elbow and shoulder pads, and back protection included. Prices vary, so shop around, being in the us it’s roughly 245-299usd. I think I got mine over seas shipped for 149€ which would equate to 132 usd. With shipping it was still under 200 buckaroos.
I've got one and love it, but I wear it under an everyday lightweight jacket most the time. It just works.
Yep, I have that jacket too and it is pretty awesome. I use it when "allroad" travelling, as body armour. Though not as flexible or lightweight, it will help me in case of a spill on bitumen. And in hot weather, using it as the top layer provides amazing airflow. Just make sure you wear a dark layer underneath or you will look like someone on his/her way to a kinky nightclub...
149 euros is 167usd
Love mine too - blessed that they have a women's size. The only top layer I really need. Nice when it's hot and when it's cold I just wear a down jacket over it.
Yup. Why anyone would settle for the Icon when you can get the Knox is beyond me.
Once again, you manage to make me laugh while you educate me🤣
Another brilliant video, informative and creatively entertaining to watch. Thanks!
Brilliant! Love these vids, such a friendly/factual way of telling you how to do it, and that ain't easy?

@@oblivion0077 Also I
Hey hey! great and informative video as always Ryan. Will check those Scorpion jeans, they look awesome and you convinced me with the kevlar point.
That said I would add something to your open helmet advice... if anyone wants to ride an open helmet with no visor, chances are that you can collect bees and hornets in your rides...and from my own experiences, it makes the ride quite interesting in the wrong way :P I have suffered this issue (and the collateral stings) 3 times (2 in Spain, 1 in Australia). One of them inside my jacket when the bee got in through the space between my neck and the jacket all the way to my clavicle, the other two inside my helmet which, in both cases, the bee managed to crawl all the way to my ear using my sunnies. I love to ride with the visor up but...even with glasses, take into account that it brings some risks.
Ride safe!
Hey bro... Your comedy is excellent.
Your helpful motorbike tips are priceless.
I don't even ride a bike but love this guys cool relaxed delivery so much I'm addicted...
“Add more layers than Paula Deen’s Mac and cheese” 😂🤣😂
How the hell this channel continues producing quality, interesting material, leaving manufacturers brochures aside, with technical data that could make the world fall in boredom, without a single soul getting bored, is something beyond any imagination. Congrats Ryan F9 and Fort Nine. You guys really dig what really matters
Another great video on safety gear what I like best about your show!
Ryan i normaly not comment in RUclips, but you have realy put a lot of work in your Videos, they are really the best informative ones.
We have a lot of riders at church myself included. I wear my lower rated stuff (riding shoes, riding jeans and light jacket) so I'm more comfortable when I get there. But others just wear their full kit and seem happy sitting around in that. To each their own.
Superbly well researched, written and presented as usual. Thank you RF9!
Dude, your videos are awesome, and you are super talented. Great work!
Decently protective top and bottom with good ventilation for a combined $500 is legitimately brilliant! Amazing work from Icon and Scorpion there.
Super relevant content
Of all the people to post _this_ type of comment..
Exactly the vid I've been looking for!
HOT DAMN if this isn't the content I've been waiting for. I am so thoroughly entertained and informed at the same time.
First of all: Your voice is great! Smooth sound with a very recognizable intonation. Love it. Your appearance reminds me of the Lassiter Character in the former "Psych" Series: Seemingly unimpressed from your own work, but incredible skilled in it. And maybe it's your Haircut, too ;). Please don't ever stop making videos.
Next video: Ryan just reads an owner's manual.
I'm still watching and upvoting.
Sweet, let me go pick one of those ICON compressions shirts up, since we are having a hot summer for the first time in 10+ years.
OUT OF STOCK...
The Icon AF you dropped at the beginning is the jacket I wear daily in South Florida. It works.
I will look into armored shirts.
I love your videos and I am always keen for your next one.
Like others said, Knox Urbane Pro is CE compliant. Would love to see a comparison between these two or even a “lab” test. Don’t know why, I feel you missed a nice opportunity to feature the Urbane Pro in this video. Awesome channel, please upload more videos! I need my fix.

I feel like the icon shirt would slip right off of you in a slide
yeah only helps for the impact but after that your skin is on the asphalt
The best out here doing Moto vids. PERIOD.
WE NEED a 2023 summer Gear update. Thanks Fortnine crew!
That Icon riding shirt is crap. It doesn’t matter if there is Kevlar in spots that matter. LOL, it’s sown to basic polyester or other crap fabric and those pads/Kevlar will rip right off exposing your skin. Wearing an outside layer is a must with that shirt and you better make sure that outside layer isn’t just a jersey
Why not just buy a mesh motorcycle jacket then?
Are armoured tops not safe to wear alone?
Armor tops are only as good as the material and stitch work holding the armor together. The issue is that on the street, pavement tends to pull and tear the layer in the opposite direction that you are going. Armor is only good for initial impact and even then it can move and expose your body to unwanted forces. The best solution is a well fitted jacket that uses mesh in specific areas to keep you cool but doesn’t compromise in areas that take the most tearing force and keeps the armor in position on initial impact.
5:18 where is your trigger discipline! This triggers me you beautiful Canadian 😂
Booger hook off the bang switch!
Hand someone a toy gun. Trigger finger straight? American. Anywhere else? Not American.
I thought the same, Schoolboy error ! All the non US countries in the world don’t see the benefit of shooting each other, the fools ! We don’t have any practise of trigger discipline. Don’t need it. Don’t need shooter drills in schools either. What are we thinking !? 🤦♂️
@@nickc6882 Your probably never going to get shot at if you are in america and also places like Britain have a insane amount of knife attacks. A lot of Americans also don't know trigger discipline themselves. It is very important to know trigger discipline also if you are using a real gun or a airsoft gun since you could hurt someone or could break something you like.
This guy is HI larious! These are great informative and ENTERTAINING videos.

Ryan, I have two words for you: Trigger Safety. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU'RE READY TO SHOOT! Points added for using a gun as a prop for your video adding to the cool factor. Points deducted for neglecting the #1 rule in gun safety. Otherwise a great video. Keep 'em coming.
It's an Airsoft gun not even loaded
I really like the look of the armored shirt, and I totally buy the logic of how the armor can work and be missed by the standards (those being a kind of lowest common denominator). Apparently, these are not available, so I contacted ICON, and received a help response, that these will once again be in stock come mid-August.
That icon is hidios. I'd go with knox armors equivalent every time. Thanks for all the insight as always Ryan
