I just want to say that your reviews are very helpful since you give negative and positive feedback on the gear. Revzilla on the other hand, is useless in terms of giving consumer advice. Keep it up.
I don't know how many items I have bought because of Ryan's videos for which I am grateful. Its super fun to watch and in the end makes me feel like a geek. I totally agree that Dianese Mesh Jacket in that exact color is the best mesh Jacket that I was able to get and I simply LOVE IT. Hey I love watching these videos. I also bought a pair of pants based on some of your videos, I think they are made by AGV and have two cargo pockets not on the side but on the top and those are my favorite jeans period. They are kind of small I am usually 36X32 but in those I went 38X34 and they fit super well... THANK YOU X 1000
Ryan, when are you going to put out some new review videos? You have been a HUGE help to me in picking out my 1st gear to wear on my 1st bike.
I love these videos. You constantly test witch gear is the safest and best considering the price. With the men at revzilla, well I can think about how fashionable and trendy my gear was as my fashion leather shreds down to every last atom and I almost die from a minor crash.
I got a stand up scooter that pulls 50 mph, i don't need nutty racing gear, these reviews are very helpful, the ride as if your invisible was the most useful one
I love AlpineStars and Icon (for cheap textile), but Spidi has made me a fan for life.
Fan of your work and channel! Excellent videos and content that has been super helpful in picking out the right gear! I was hoping that you would eventually make a video with Race suit reviews. A top 5 race suit video by RF9 is what you tube desperately needs.
Alpinestars GP Pro Plus R has slightly different back (inside the jacket), so you can insert their "Nucleon" series protector if you don't really need "Bionic" . The only weird thing is that you'll still have these 3 metal knobs inside the jacket which are used to connect "Bionic" . The rest is awesome. I've bought it recently.
Great review as usual. Keep up your fine work Ryan.
Some of the best RUclips videos.
Wish i found your channel 3 years ago love the vids
I had the Alpinestars GP jacket and pants made from an ebay seller for £250. You'd never know it wasn't Alpinestars.
I've seen people fall off with these ebay specials, and the protection seems just as good. Which sold me.
great job keep at it appreciate all the reviews
Your videos are really well done. There have been numerous tests done on leather vs nylon-ish jackets and how long they last before wearing through in a slide. Leather is proven to be much better in a slide. Something like six times better. It has its disadvantages, though. Hot and heavy, which sounds kinda sexual but, hey, whatever works I guess
My first jacket was the overlord got it for $120 on closeout which was worth it just for the D3O :P
Love rewatching these for the nostalgia of researching gear before I bought a bike.
I know this is an old video but I figured I’d chime in with a recent relevant experience. I just purchased the Alpinestars Celer V2 armored leather jacket. It’s the first I’ve gotten that has the extra plastics on the external layer and when I first got it my thoughts were it’s heavier than any previous jacket I’d owned and that it looked stiff and uncomfortable. After riding with it on however I can tell there was a massive amount of R&D in this thing and that Alpinestars is anal about the details. It’s form almost supports your body and holds your arms where they need to be while tucked in but it’s giving enough to maneuver easily when you’re not. It’s heavy but effortless to wear and it’s protection level is confidence inspiring, especially since upgrading the back and chest armor. Everything from the buttons that hold the liner sleeve in to the stitching and locking zippers is exact and well done. Definitely made an Alpinestars fan out of me if you can’t tell. 🤙🏼
Can you do a video in which you discuss proper jacket fitment vs improper? I find i'm always struggling to get the right fit with jackets.
Ah, real vintage. Very nice.
great review man, I am looking for a nice 2 piece Daniese Leather outfit. RS Taichi also makes good high quality stuff
I think there should be an update on this video with the Dainese Super Rider jacket involved ;)
I went with the racing 3 D dry jacket since it’s only $250 right now, along with their super rider d dry jacket (which was also on sale).
I live in WA, so I wanted some waterproof, multi season jackets.
RevIt gtr air is a great mesh jacket. Ce armor in Elbow, back and shoulder.

Isnt lyin' 🎵🎶
When he reviews some shiitt 🎵🎵🎶
Please do one video like this this year!!
Just thanks to Ryan I stopped worrying that my 52 jacket is too small (same extra room in chest with shorter sleeves)
I like your reviews. you sure get to the point and quickly. outstanding presentation. I am on the look out for my next jacket. I sure love my icon patrol though. 3 season in that no problem.
Thanks! I'm also a big fan of the Patrol jacket. I think that entire lineup is on its way out, though. Here's hoping my Patrol boots last forever :) ~RyanF9
The Dainese Veloster looks like something I absolutely need in my life. Is it flexible and pliable or stiff overall?
Very pliable once it's broken in. Stiff when new. ~RyanF9
No furygan raptor? :p i love this jacket, fantastic quality
Dainese Hydra Flux D-Dry Jacket protective at all?
hey. i saw your video. You talk about Dainese mesh jacket with whaterproof and it's a pain in the ass because you can't put on the jacket when it rains. So, i think that may be interested to look afther Bering Keers. It looks like that Dainese mesh you have but the whaterproof liner can be mounted outside the jacket, so when it rains, you keep dry and confort and when the rain stop, you get the whaterproof liner out and keep riding like you never passed trought a rain. I tested it in some havy rain in summer and nothing under that liner get wet. best wishes.
Hey Ryan, recently got the alpinestars gp pro, we’re the same height so I went with the size you got in this video Is there a way to stretch it out? Everyone says a hot steamy room could help or spraying water?
i like Icon Hypersport Prime Jacket
I have a question, I cannot open the links and was wondering how
Much does the Alpinestar GP Pro cost?
Ryan, what do you think about the icon sanctuary, is any good? Maybe a review?
I find issues with fitment for A*stars; it always seems as the arms are just too short for my frame (i feel I have wider shoulders than most). I never feel like they fit right
I have a dyno jacket from 2000 and one from last year and the sleeve length on the new one is too short compared to the 20 year old one.
Let's say your "American sized" American with over sized chest and shoulders, but stands a whopping 5' 9" and enjoys riding sport bikes. Could you recommend a couple versatile leather jackets with a broader cut?
I'm really enjoying your videos!
Are you going to review the new Alpinestars Tech Air Airbag Vest and GP Tech V2 jacket?? :)
Hey Ryan! What do you think about the Icon Sanctuary?
gp pro will be good for summer like 90 degrees... or any recommendations for summer
You should try RST leathers. They're pretty good at a very affordable price.
I got one. It's really good. Comfortable and safe. Good choice
Hey mate can you do a video about leather not so popular suits like rebelhorn or SHIMA? Thanks mate
gp pro and celer jackets are very similar, just one is thermal lined and the other is not. any reason the celer didnt make the cut?
Could you do a video on full one piece race suits?
I rode with an alpinestar leather gp jacket and the collar rode up into my neck, so everytime i went to look over my shoulder it rubbed me down to rashes. It sucks because I loved the jacket except for this one downside.
Hey, what about suits? don't you recommend them? do you have a video on this? thankss
love you bro
Is ALPINESTAR T-GP PRO textile is good for riding between +\- 15 and 25 degree celcius??? I live in Rimouski QC and ride with cold wind from St Lawrence river . Look for 3 season jacket Thx
I like your videos/reviews.
I live in Germany and I ride motorcycle only on my free time and when good weather is. I love Dainese and I bought Avro D2.
Do you think it's a good choice?
Marco Silva yes
@f9 can you do an update version
I would've put the dainese spr in there instead of the last jacket. the protection in it defends the high price
Can we get updates on these top picks, it's been five years. Some of the gloves, pants and even some of these jackets aren't available anymore.
what is the difference between a "stunter style jacket" and a "premium sport jacket"?
@Fort9 !!! Please take a look at RST. They are sort of from UK. I just tried some of their jackets and i was completely sold....might want to check it out. Also, there's a manufacturer in Poland, called Adrenaline. I also find that quite interested (i have a tex RS) looks and feels fantastic !! Pricewise ? 80 bucks ??? 2 interior lining, shoulder elbow and back protection (foam/but good on the back) some kind of hard tpu on the inside (it's very ok and comfy)
I'm on my bike every day for about 3 hours. I ride upright on a cruiser, so I don't really want a jacket designed for the tuck. I'd prefer something with d3o ce level 2 on shoulders, elbows, back, and maybe chest. I would like it to be abrasive resisting in high impact areas like anywhere over the armored areas, but I live in southern California and don't see much rain, so I'd like something breathable, but with a removable thermal liner for mild winter. If I can pair this jacket up with a pair of riding pants that have protection in the hip and knee, but are also abrasive resistive yet very breathable that would be most ideal.
Some of our other jacket videos will have more of what you're looking for. I'd say Klim is your best bet for finding D3O Level 2 impact protection. Even still, only their premium options offer it. Badlands, Rally Air, etc. And Klim doesn't do thermal liners very often - they try to sell their customers on separate base and middle layers instead. For southern California I'd definitely want a mesh jacket ... I'd probably spend my money on a Klim Induction (mesh with a waterproof liner), then buy the D3O Level 2 pads and thermal layers separately. ~RyanF9
So if the Hydra Flux isn't good in the rain, why not get the Air Flux for $100 less?
I am 192cm (90kg), so problem I have is usually sleeves (or the body lenght) too short :-(
just bough myself a Dainese Veloster 2pc suit for 500€ lol, gotta love special offers
Anyone tell me what the difference between the Overlord and Overlord 2 jackets are? is it only cosmetic?
I'd cast my vote for Aerostich.
Icon contra - best jacket summer- legend - color red-black
I just bought the Veloster. I am 183 and took 52 instead of 54. Since i have read that it should be tight than loose, my chest is 100 cm, at 54 its 108 at 52 its 104 Was i mistaken. It feels very tight now.
Cheers, from israel.
What about the scorpion clutch ? Not even considered in that lineup ? I think it's right up there with the gp pro and the dainese jacket
I mentioned that too and as I said above his reviews are extremely subjective and limited to stuff that he can get his hands on and shouldn't be taken as anything but a list of stuff he likes.
What size Hydra Flux fit you?
52. My 39-inch chest *would* put me in a 50, but I had to size up to get the length I need (6"3, 33" sleeve). ~RyanF9
Will this channel be mainly product reviews?
+Tenny80 Our RUclips channel will have three parts: FortNine Reviews, FortNine Explore and FortNine MotoVlog. Only the first part contains product reviews. FortNine Explore is our motorcycle travel series where we ride all across Canada looking for awesome places to ride and visit. FortNine MotoVlog pairs contentious motorcycling topics with an epic road in a brief MotoVlog. Check out our channel page for more info! ~RyanF9
+Tenny80 We'll be releasing Motovlogs soon too, We're getting the Vstrom out from the studio today :-) ~ NeilF9
+FortNine that's what I was hoping for but so far it's all product reviews. I'll just be patient lol
Dude you and I have the same two moles in the exact same place of the face haha
Can we get an updated gear list?
Dainese is and will always be way better than all the others, they invent not copy
I just seen a guy on the 78 in southern California sitting against the concrete barrier wearing a wife beater shirt. His whole right side was red and you can guess why.
Very nice review. Will be checking them all shortly.
Ik this is a older video but I would still like your input. I'm a upcoming new rider and I have a max budget of $600 preferably $550 and under. I want a jacket that has great padding on elbow, shoulders, back and maybe chest and ribs. As well having great ambrosia resistance and looks good for a street rider. What is a good jacket for me. P.S. I am buying off FortNine website because I am a Canadian and I love your guys website policies and offers.
Hey! If it were me, I'd actually go textile with the new T-GP Pro (fortnine.ca/en/alpinestars-t-gp-pro-textile-jacket). It has Bio Air CE-Level 2 elbow and shoulder protectors, which are *amazing*. Also it only costs $400, so you'll have money left over to buy the back and chest protectors separately. That's the best way to get real spine protection anyway. Of course textile is lighter and less abrasion-resistant than leather. But it's 600D stuff so should be good enough for most slides. Cheers! ~RyanF9
Thanks for the help I will be looking greatly in this jacket. It looks like the perfect jacket for my needs
FortNine Is this Alpinestars T-GP pro textile jacket is 3 season? I live in Bas-St-Laurent and ride between +\-15 and +\- 25 Celcius with cold wind from St Lawrence River. Any others recommandation? Is leather jacket are too cold for my need? Thx a lot!

You should take a look at Vanson's products. I own several of their jackets, one is approaching 15 years old now.
Vanson is all made in the USA. Basically, all of the 'known' brands (and the 'Italian' brands) are making everything in China to a price point. The quality of Vanson makes all of these other brands feel like a cheap Chinese windbreaker - I just bought a Dianese and kind of regret it. It is obviously cheap compared to my Vansons.
The first time you pick one up and try it on you will be convinced - just like me.
Agreed. I paid $500 for my Vanson at their factory and never regretted it. I actually met the people who built it.
Plus after about 10,000 miles it will finally break in, and when it does it feels like a coat of armor. And it does not move around in the wind even at triple digit speeds.
People who pick it up are amazed at the weight of the thing.
The only problem with Vanson is that if you buy online you either buy from street and comp, whose website is shit, thurston bros (who don't stock much of the more modern designs read: integrated armor pockets (meh, a Knox shirt works, too), Big Black Boots who is also shit, or their own website which to be fair is not very shit at all but never any discounts. If you buy in person, their partnered shops are few and far between and outright none in many states and provinces with strong motorcycle communities (Colorado, for one of the more glaring oversights). Also they don't have any lower-price options with built-in armor (again, knox shirt).
That being said, the Sport Rider series is really the be all end all of leather motorcycle jackets. Forget TPU or titanium, or copious amounts of clever internal pockets, something like the Satellite or Technical just layers on the 1.4mm what-i-refuse-to-believe-is-cow hide, and then there's their repair service which ensures that the jacket will be returned to pre-crash condition and they won't charge you an arm and a leg to do so, or if they can't repair it they give you your deposit back. A guy I know with Colo. State Patrol Motor just got a Force model from their Police collection as his new cold-weather jacket and he can't stop raving about the thing. Among touring and sport-touring risers is remains one of the best little secrets in the industry. Oh yeah, they also make race suits. Holy shit those things are heavy but they are easily re-crashable suits, and it's no surprise a big chunk of the pro drag racers choose Vanson. In the long run, though, I'd rip the old-school Vantech armor out immediately and wear a Knox armored shirt underneath.
What do you guys think about company Buse for a motorcycle jacket?
Never used them! ~RyanF9
Hey silly question do you buy all the stuff and return later or you just request any item to do a review and then send it back or you get the privilege of keeping some thank you in advance for your honesty
Usually I request an item to review, then send it back whenever I'm finished with it. Sometimes I'll actually buy and keep the item if I really like it though! ~RyanF9
+FortNine thank you very much I do like your reviews a lot thank you again for your efforts
Hi.
I am considering buying any one of the following leather perforated jackets.
Need help in choosing.
Revit-akira-air-leather-jacket
Or
Alpinestars Jaws 2016 leather jacket
Or
Dainese d1 leather jacket
Or
Taichi Arrow leather jacket
Or
Taichi Motion leather jacket.
Criterion: which offers the best quality for the price?
All are of the same price point on various online stores after discount. Around
599 USD.
My height 171 cms
Weight 60 kgs
Circumference across belly button 193cms
My friend's Alpinestars Celer leather jacket size 50 euro fits me comfortably.
I ride a Triumph street triple and don't do track days.
Mostly highway runs and occasional canyon riding.
Everybody, feel free to make suggestions regarding which jacket to buy.
Thanks.
Got any suggestions for a leather sport jacket in 5XL? There are some of us monsters out there that ride the big-boy sport bikes and don't like Pirate (cruiser) leathers.
Grizz Axxemann I suggest you loose weight and quit diabetes.
Get fucked.
how do you keep your pants and jacket together if they don't have zippers?
Some jackets and pants have ties, buttons or Velcro loops to hook together. Other jackets have belt loops at the bottom, in which case you run your belt through those loops *and* the loops on your pants to keep the two together. ~RyanF9
You propably have never tought to fit a lighter in the icons little pocket? Fits perfectly.
I though about a swiss army knife when I saw those pockets, but the lighter is a way more usual item.
from which country are you bro ?
Textile vs Leather jackets link?
For street I have Alpinestars GP R jacket, sport-touring style jacket with a fairly unrestrictive feel, good protection, and discreet enough to keep it on when I stop at the cafe for lunch.
For sport riding and track I have Alpinestars Atem, one size larger than my GP R as it's a sportier cut. I also have it fitted with chest protectors which as well as offering extra protection, also help to provide a firmer fit. The internal armour is all noticeably thicker but also bulkier than the GP R, too, and the jacket is cut for an aggressive position. This shape actually makes highway riding less fatiguing but makes off-the-bike time quite uncomfortable. Being fully CE certified I'd say it would be the way to go over the GP Pro jacket reviewed here although the Atem is a step up in price.
How big is your chest in cm? I want to buy alpinestars i am 176cm high but i have 108cm chest. What size do i need? Is 52 be ok?
I have a 99cm chest (39"). That would make me a size Euro 49, but I usually get a 52 in Alpinestars because I need the extra length (I'm 6"3). I reckon the 52 will fit you very well. Get the 54 if you like to layer underneath. ~RyanF9
Dude You need more Subs!! You deserve lot more. Advertise if you have to.
His reviews are really subjective and serve only to put his opinion out there instead of doing research from website reviews and making lists out of what customers perceive to be the best. He tends to favor specific brands and ignore a lot of others which makes it quite unreliable it's cool to get some overviews on gear but it's far from a guidebook to gear.
definitely advertise if you have to people make good money like that
2021 version please ?
2:59 how freaking long are you?
Great reviews but you don’t mention pricing???
I am from ashion country 🇵🇰 Pakistan and I make these jackets brands company jackets and I want do business if you need any jackets send me semple I make jackets for you and I have need a partner
Most smart phones now are ip67 to Ip8
hi, bro i have a question, how tall are you? i would like subtitles , :D thanks
I'm 6"3 ... and thanks for the suggestion! ~RyanF9
The Dainese Hydra Flux D-Dry screams "MOOOLD, IM GOING TO GET MOLDY" after driving in rain
Icon has a better jacket its called the CONTRA
Icon makes the hypersport non prime! And i just got one for 300$... no plastic outside...
Can you do best budget reviews???
Yep! Most of our "best under $$" reviews go in here: ruclips.net/p/PLQlYdWX-PfbkSur9F3bdqSIITuwGD_OE9 ~RyanF9
Thank you! Btw loving the channel, saving up for my first 125 and the content u provide is top quality mate!
Look around and use your head when it comes time to purchase he gives decent suggestions but he overlooks certain pieces of gear he can't get his hands on. So look through the comments and organize gear on websites by best sellers.
OspreyBravo18 thanks mate
Im pretty sure the only one that would even fit me are the icons. I used a Hellfire Jacket before my crash, giant Jacket, but nothing less fits me I think at my 6'1" and (because I can't really move with a broken foot :| fml I just started to lose weight and now im sure I gained about 10 pounds already) About 230Pounds
Where is 2020 reviews??
Scorpion clutch jacket
Im never buying Alpinestar stuff again. Got gloves, the name fell off on the first day and the gloves are worn out after not even 20h of use. Sad for 70€
If you rode a fz07 would you wear sport gear?
Depends what I'm using the bike for... sport gear for canyon carving, commuter gear for city riding, etc. I probably wouldn't buy multiple sets of gear ('cause $$). But I'd think about the style of riding I'll be doing most, and then dress to match. ~RyanF9
I have an FZ-07 I'm going to suggest aiming for safety that's the main thing I wear a Scorpion SJ2 jacket that I got on sale for 159 and AGVsport willow perforated leather pants because they offer a ton of protection at a great price. If you have more money I suggest grabbing a Scorpion clutch jacket I know they have low prices on some websites you can usually shave 150-200 off the normal price. My goal is to get into a Hypersport prime hero edition jacket though looks great and has great armor.
+OspreyBravo18 thanks for the advice
Tristan Gump It really comes down to personal preference I don't mind sporting leathers you might hate that look. The most important thing is that it's something you are willing to wear every time you go out because the best gear is no good if it isn't on you.
Dude, don't dress for the ride, dress for the crash.. even if you ride a scooter in the city, you could get a serious crash, so I would recommend going for safety gear
How ??
asymmetrical style may be convincing on bikes like the bmw but on jackets its a no go
Anybody who thinks asymmetrical anything looks okay is nuts imo
Your green screen is brutal
so much that i only just realized its a green screen after reading your comment
hi sir
