Boots with zips *and* laces are common in emergency services where we need the protection afforded by a full height boot, but also need to be able to put them on quickly.
The best way to use them is when you first get them, put them on, do up the zip, and do the laces up so the boot is comfy and snug. Now never touch the laces again, and use only the zip to take the boots on and off. The point of the laces is to have that infinitely adjustable fit, and to preserve the traditional look of shoes, while the zip takes on the role of regular shoe securing.
This makes a ton of sense. Thank you for explaining this to dummies like me.
This is exactly right. This is why we get issued these types of boots in the CAF too.
just like when you set the helmet chin strap and never touch it again ....
brain dead much?
last i checked paratroopers moved away from zippers on their boots cuz REASON wins over LAZY when it is your own ass on the line
@monokheros5373 who shit in your cereal this morning bro.
@@monokheros5373bro can you read
It should be noted that deer-skin gloves are usually a product of a type of deer specifically raised and bred in Canada.
Not every type of deer grows gloves instead of antlers and the best are free range, which is why Canada has such a low unemployment percentage for children.
They make a living by wandering the woods and tundra collecting shed deer-skin gloves.
The children set their own hours, have an extraordinarily beautiful and healthy workspace, and they are their own boss.
Can I xollect gloves for a living too, sounds amazing hahahah
I remember my granddaddy telling me about his great granddaddy doing this in the 1800s. They’d find he gloves in the forests but not know what they were for. There’s a theory that motorbikes were invented in order to find the perfect use for these gloves.
Independent contracting only works in countries with universal healthcare.
Unintentional macroeconomic benefit: the Canadian tax base is increased by 10% 😃
We get a metric ton of Fox-gloves in the UK in late summer. Any relation? 🤔
Finally a video with Ryan ❤
The other guys are alright, but Ryan is no doubt the star.
Finally, a motorcycle related video 🤩
Have to agree, even as I’ve enjoyed the other guys and the short-form content.
🙌🏻
Really should make seperate channel for MTB guys and gals
I don’t ride motorcycles and probably never will but this guy’s presentation style of dry witty humor is so good I keep watching lol
Take the step. Hop on a bike. This spring. Find a way.
It will make you happier, and your dreams more vivid.
“Canadian Tuxedo Heritage Foundation” approval FTW.
They always said oregano was a gateway drug to sugar
The Canadian Tuxedo Heritage Foundation endorsement at 0:36 sold me! No higher accolades necessary!
Definitely applies in Nova Scotia, the province that time forgot.
I totally missed that, thank you.
Riding shirts are old news. If you want a proper tuxedo, you should review the motorcycle blazer made by Brummell. It's like the John Wick's suit - looks like a classic suit, but it's designed for riding, with level 2 protectors and full DuPont Kevlar.
Yup, totally! I mean nothing wrong with riding shirts, but I recall seeing this same shirt reviewed in other Fortnine videos already in the past few years. Kinda like deja vu!
Cool but it also costs 4 times as much
US$900 for a blazer with standard sizing that will fit barely anyone
Riding suit seems stupid. You'll look brilliant at the event covered in bugs I'm sure.
What a find! This would be amazing for the upcoming DGR ride.
Back to good old fortnine content, love to see Ryan back at it!
One of the greatest channels in RUclips history.
So many good points, especially the hidden “sweetener”
The script writing, delivery; coupled with the superb filming, edit, execution makes it always such a watchable presentation. Congrats! We need more oh so subtle Easter eggs. 😊
Being in the Video production side of things, watching FortNine is a delight. The Quality of production is OUTSTANDING, congrats to the whole team. And to add one more thing, FortNine should be a standard in all web production that we can compare others show to it.
😅😅 I wear the armor pads in my shoulders to look bigger, I put the rest of them in the front of my pants to also look bigger !! 😅😅
And thats how the CE rated codpiece came to be 😂
@@MrKingsley I always assumed the C stood for “cleavage.”
"Sorry to say, all the bones are broken" Even the-? "No, for some reason he put all the padding on his pelvis" It's ok then
Tried that. My date when home early when they slipped down and back. Dammit.
Someone needs to start selling motorcycling zoot suits. Shoulder pads galore!
Ryan thanks for everything you have done for me helping me find the way if it wasn't for you I would have never found the love and peace that motorcycling gives me have a good day.
Damn! I'm watching this channel for years and the funny thing is that I work in the moto clothing industry now in europe. Few years ago all these things were like amazing to know, stuff I couldn't test on my own etc and it all became my common knowledge to work! Great channel, great content as always!
Whats the best bang for buck stuff to get. Pants boots and shirt/jacket
Yeah, give us some best bangs please.
00:20 God dang it Ryan, you really know whats happening right now 🤣
Boeing lobbied for 300% tariff on the Bombardier CS aircraft. Well, Airbus bought it, renamed it to A22x and builds them in Mobile of Alabama...
Genius! Engineering + sarcasm + truth +... the only videos on youtube I wish they were longer!
The only thing I'd say with deerskin gloves is they shrink worse than leather does, I got a pair from Hestra and after a hilariously wet ride to work I went to leave at the end of my shift and my gloves felt like a condom. turned out the floor heating was cranked up to help people's clothes dry a bit and I'd left my lid on the floor with my gloves on top of it, they hadn't even dried out.
edit: I should probably point out that I have leather gloves which I'd put in the same place while they were wet with the heating cranked up and didn't have this happen, it could be partly to do with my deerskin gloves not actually being motorcycle gloves and not being armoured like my leather ones are
Well, those gloves just got a new, enthusiastic customer base! "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!"
They should hire OJ to do the ads.
@@pistonburner6448That'd be difficult since he's dead.
I went over the handlebars of a kick scooter on the way to work and the skid went through my shirt, pants, and left me bleeding like crazy.
Fabric it basically paper even at such low speed, and I'm very lucky to have learnt that lesson when I did.
Love it, some of these are on my wish list. IMO the only one I wouldn't use is the Dainese shoes, I definitely prefer a higher boot that offers shin protection. I once slightly fractured one of my shins & it was a bear for months.
Thanks for the content guys, found your channel recently and have been loving the backlog of content.
i tried to wear my helmet as-is during covid. the store clerks almost always would say
"take your helmet off we need to see your face", immediately followed by "you have to put on a mask".
one person said "are you pretending to be the mandalorian", highlight of my day.
“Result of running faster than a brisket” had me on the floor 😄😄😄
Funny cameo of sportbiketrackgear hahaha 🤣
There is also a video of him folding a cheap bike stand in two..
That might also be a gem to use in a video one day.
You made some good points about the Darmstadt machine but the AA test means the samples didn't fail at 412rpm which is equivalent to the sample holders spinning at 70km/h. In no way is this equivalent to a crash at 70km/h because the test doesn't include any impact which is where most materials fail. Also, the Darmstadt uses a fairly low friction concrete tile (0.52 co-efficient of friction with reference cotton canvas).
I'd only trust AA level kit in urban situations myself. For high speed riding, look for AAA which is what most good cowhide gear is rated at. Better yet, check MOTOCAP for numerical tests.
Not only is it tested at just 70km/h but only 2 seconds of slide protection are needed to pass AA. In contrast AAA is tested at 120km/h AND needs 4 seconds to pass. So AA protection is exponentially worse that AAA. And single A is just crap.
You don’t need leather for AAA either. There are enough jeans with AAA rating and textiles like Panda Moto Commando and Knox Honister.
It seems to me that most traditional motorcycle clothing manufacturers just don’t see the marketing value of a higher rating. Except for jeans, because of the idea that jeans are less safe than traditional textile trousers, so people can still feel safe buying it because it has a good rating.
Love the Boeing jab
STG really used to do some of the best reviews out there. I learned a ton from them.
Awesome content as always. Impeccable timing as well. Thank you. 🙏
the first company (tcx or dianese) to make a motorcycle shoe with vans or converse will print money, who wants a shoe that looks like an Alibaba/wish knockoff
Held do a prettyy good shoe which look very similar to Converse boots, very comfortable as well. Plus they're goretex.
I would like if they put the Salomon quicklace system.
Slide in

Off you go.
@@kornaros96 already exist
Vans/Converse are for 12-24 y/o, motorcycles for 30+. Nope.
There are very many companies which sell far higher quality casual riding shoes/sneakers than ultra-cheap Chinese-made Converse and Vans garbage. Converse and Vans stopped making even their not-very-high-quality top models long ago and switched to ever lower-rent stuff that can be made even cheaper. And they never made high quality stuff to begin with.
Modern Converse and Vans are essentially Chinese knockoffs of their original stuff. And their stuff originating in the 70's and 80's were far from sophisticated. Waffle-iron soles, etc...
I will always appreciate Ryan’s delivery of sarcastic yet, knowledgeable information.
Just bought the pants. Favorite pair of riding pants of the 6 I own. Far and away the best fitting and feeling.
Thanks FortNine. Always great reviews and information delivered in an entertaining and engaging way!
I dont know who does the writing, but the line that gloves are made with bambi's mom was golden 😂
it has been always ryan's job
Cameo STG footage was a nice touch.
The 2010's were wild for Brian Van.
I'm a mechanical engineer undergrad right now and I had a ptsd episode from hearing about the stress-strain curve
Explain?
During a Mech E undergrad there are lots of classes and labs that heavily involve the stress-strain curve of materials. Engineers use stress-strain curves to determine what materials to use for the intended application, so a lot of importance is placed on them and you get tested regularly on how to define all portions of the curves.@@spacecruisers
Exactly. Stress is independent so should be on x axis and strain being depends on stress, so should be on y axis.
@@spacecruisers stress-strain graphs (stress being on the y-axis and strain on the x-axis) are an essential part of mechanical engineering (or really any engineering); these curves are to show how much stress and strain a material can endure. Stress being a measurement of force/cross-sectional area, tells how much, in a sense, "pain" the material is experiencing. Strain is the measurement of physical change that the material goes through when it is experiencing stress; in calculations it is equal to the change of dimension (on an axis) divided by the original dimension. Stress is given in pascals or psi and strain is technically given in m/m or in/in etc. but it's often not given a unit since m/m is a bit redundant.
In the stress-strain curve there is usually a (somewhat) linear portion, this linear part is used to find the modulus of elasticity otherwise known as the measurement of resistance a material has to deform elastically (stretch and return to normal). The area under this linear section is regarded as modulus of resilience aka the energy that the material can experience and elastically return to normal.
The entire area of the curve gives toughness, the max energy the material can experience before fracture/failure.
Of course there is more to this topic but I'm not trying to write a book.
I've had many all nighters due to dealing with mechanical engineering classes. The longest I've stayed up doing ONLY assignments has been 4 days and that's with MAYBE 3-4 hour breaks on each day (from eating, having a breather).
If all of the stuff above I said bored you, my bad, I just kinda got in the zone writing about engineering. But basically the stress-strain curve has a lot to do with tedious calculations that I've had to do.
@@suhasbharadwaj3645 for finding the modulus of resilience or toughness of the material it doesn't necessarily make it easier to do. You could do integrations that follow the y-axis as the base, but it would be much easier to have stress in the y-axis and strain in the x-axis to find the modulus of resilience and toughness. To find modulus of elasticity it's just the slope of the linear portion of the curve; rise/run, so having the stated axes it would be E=stress/strain.
Strain doesn't depend on stress. Technically they are both independent of each other. In a previous reply I went over stress and strain. With stress being equal to "force"/"cross-sectional area" and strain being equal to the "change in dimension (on an axis)"/"original dimension" (ex: length grew 2 inches and original length is 7 inches, so the strain would be= 2/7). In a way, yes, without stress occuring there wouldn't be any strain; since there has to be a force to create stress which would mean deformation of material. BUT, they don't calculate using each other and instead have separate formulas.
I bought the gloves based on this video. Very, VERY comfortable; the leather is as plush as Ryan makes it out to be, and the stretchy backhand makes it conform to any hand. Not the most protective thing in the world for a crash, but they'll be competing for daily driver against my Five gloves (which I purchased because of a Fortnine video).
the only problem with this model (and most of other deerskin gloves) that they're not certified even to level 1.
Meaning theoretically deerskin itself is tough, practically - those gloves would burst aprart in a first nanosecond of a contact with something in a crash. Or not. You don't know, but looking at them - most likely they do.
Brian Van is a legend
" it feels like the usual denim you'd wear to a wedding or a funeral." Now that's what I've been missing! Welcome back Man!😀
Thank you for these videos, guys. I was hit a week and a half ago and the gear saved my life.
You guys always make informative and entertaining videos, thanks for all your hard work. But seeing two of our electric tug boats (HaiSea Wamis and HaiSea Wee'git) behind Ryan in this video was the icing on the cake. Keep up the great work.
Just sublime: writing, production, product design & seamless plug -- this is the kind of quality one should strive for when one's recommendations can affect key protection and self-image decisions!
Preach 🙌
You guys make the most informative gear review videos, keep it up.
definitely need more gear reviews/suggestion videos. these are gold
Great timing Ryan as we hopefully look forward to some better weather in April May
A stash spot for my sweetener...simply brilliant ......love the innuendos....lol (Keep up the good work!)
I love these gear videos. Really helps pick something without having to look at 300 plus pairs of gloves.
Amazing video. Excellent narration. You've got a style and delivery like no other. Made my laugh several times. Thanks for the captivating video. Definitely a fan.
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!
Once again, great information. Thank you.
Dude your videos are works of art
Just love it, thanks so much.
I like the switch to paper napkins instead of board. Class. :D
And i bought the jacket today, you are great advisor
Great information and great entertainment. Best motorcycle channel on RUclips
As an Abbotsfordite and a proud Canadian Tuxedo supporter, I approve this message.
Okay but.. WHAT IS THAT MOTORCYCLE IN THE THUMBNAIL
Lemme know when you find out. Been asking myself the same thing
It kinda looks like my Yamaha xt350. I think it might be the TT 350 though. Can we get some more replies?
Witty and informative. Welcome back.
welcome back man!!! ❤❤❤
Whats the bike in the thumbnail though?
I would like to know too
No doubt! Finally! Good stuff
Something familiar again ❤
Thanks for making the video always love your stuff .
Information and informative
When I need a good laugh usually look up one of my favorite .
It has to be the best 50cc scooter for car drivers❤❤❤
I love the science in Ryan's videos. Nice gloves. Good to see the Van towards the end of the video.
Stellar video. Informative. Entertaining. Wallet-loosening.
I appreciate this content
The sweetener pouch is a 🔑 selling point
I about died when I saw that. Those will be selling out today 🤣
I just happy to see you again
Always a good day when a new F9 video appears.👍
Glad to see Ryan is back !
Adventure bike gear ftw.
Feel like a heavily armoured super soldier 😁
Except that your raiden adventure jacket that looked so cool when you bought it in the fall acts like a sauna come summer! I only have my ADV jacket and when my car broke in August… hooooo boy I was one sweaty badass who gave up riding for a bit after a month of that treatment 😂
@@AlmostAGinjaNinja Well it’s not too heavy, I have a Rukka ADV jacket, and in the summer I just wear a base layer and then the jacket right over top 🤷🏻♂️
@@OneFreeMan17 hey, which Rukka 🧥 , and are you 100% happy with it?
@@Yowzoe Uh well I bought it a few years ago for rain riding when I used to own a sportster 1200 lol.
I’m not sure what model is, trying looking for it couldn’t find it :(
It does have goretex and cordura and all that fancy stuff 🤷🏻♂️
Excellent work. Iatse Vancouver needs you.
bug-a-salt ftw!
I love these videos. jsut the vibes and the shots and the care thats put into them. I almost feel like 5 grand are gonna drop into my bank account and Im gonna go and get a bike and gear and be happy and stuff.
Your keywrap solved a real problem I had. Thank you! The broken end of my pannier key is still riding in the keywell of my Guzzi. They thought that aluminum (aluminium?) keys were a good idea. I have new keys on order.
Awesome, as always!
So resourceful and soooo funny 😁 love your vids guys, both hosts
PERFECT! 👍
I love my Indie Ridge boots. Got a full leather pair and a ventilated full leather pair. Once they break in, they're awesome
Best moto channel on YT, F9 rocks 👍🏽
We're long overdue for a new motorcycle review!
I am a big fan of Indie Ridge boots as a casual, comfortable, affordable boot. Right around $200. Made in USA...very good return policy if you don't like them or if they don't fit properly.
Sure, made in USA means a lot to the Canadians and the rest of the world 😂
@doppel5627 Fair point. Still better than made in China, I would imagine for craft items like boots.
Great content as always.
I've had the same Dainese boots for a year and never knew about the laces pocket until now!
Great work!
Thank you Ryan, you've been missed. All of us are hoping for more videos from you, hope all is well. Ride on, peace brother.
I don't know much about cinematography, but that shot of Ryan on the floating jetty really does it for me. I thought it was interesting how the background moves relative to the subject and camera as the jetty raises and lowers in the swell.
It’s interesting, the reviews are basically built on the safety of clothing or apparel against sliding abrasive damage etc.. recently we hat the yearly EHS trainings including first aid ⛑️ training. It was run by an older well experienced paramedic. Asking about motorcycle accidents he stated that he had a few experiences where the driver sitting on the ground mumbling some words and stopped living in front of him due to mostly internal impact injuries in the chest area.
The clothing looked good.
He said that’s quite often the case. That’s where airbag technology could be helpful but still to expensive and rare by riders.
good to have you back Ryan have resubscribed
Keeping it real, good video!
You don’t need a bulky textile jacket or a leather jacket for an AA rating.
It just seems to me manufacturers don’t see the marketing value of high ratings for better protection.
Knox Honister and Panda Moto Commando are even better with an AAA rating and aren’t bulky at all.
In this video you say you can slide at 120km/h, but in an earlier video it was shown that AA rating is only tested at 70km/h and only 2 seconds of protection is needed for a pass. In contrast, AAA IS tested at 120km/h AND needs to protect for 4 seconds.
I recently bought some D3O Ghost armour for a riding shirt that didn't come with any. Now I'm slowly replacing the armour in all my gear with it. It's not cheap compared to the "free" gentleman's vegetables protectors that you get with most gear, but it's a damn sight more comfortable to wear.
That throwback to the Icon review vid was cold 🥶
Idk why but seeing Ryan is always calming 😁
gotta say that key wrap ad was smooth i guess ill get one
Welcome home Ryan! We missed you lol
Keep up the good work.
I’ve been wanting a return of the “Affordable gear in a X Style” - even if I’m not a beginner it’s a great showcase of good gear from Canada’s Next Top Model
Been wearing Deerskin gloves since 2008. Bought my first pair of short gauntlets at the oyster run that year and just replaced them last year.
GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT INFORMATION AS ALWAYS.🇺🇸🏍️
