what chest size are you in inches? I live in Mexico and I want to buy the jacket online in USA but I do not know what size fits me and I do not trust in icon size chart. thanks
Went on a long 2150 mile tour. In SD on day 1 I realized that I needed warmer gear. I was rocking a teeshirt and a scout air. Motorsports store near my campground in Sioux Falls had some stuff on discount. Picked up the icon 1000 basehawk and alliance dark full face for 400 usd. Hated to spend the money, but love the chill look on my Indian scout. My first full face, I really appreciated the additional thermal and face protection on the interstate. Something big got kicked up from a semi and rang my ears when it struck the helmet. The rain slid right off. With no windshield on my bike, it was great. I picked the gear without knowing about it and based my choice based off of watching for the things you look for. Also wore some Klim outriders but lost the pads when I washed it in a hotel. I still used the scout air playing around local areas after setting camp or checking in- like the black hills deadwood and Estes park, but loved having both options.
I love my Basehawk. I've been down with it at highway speed and survived with just a bruised elbow and a tiny scuff on my wrist. I can confirm the ballistic nylon actually holds up pretty well in a slide. Also pretty sure the D3O saved my elbow from some serious damage, still couldn't move my arm for a week, but expect it would have been way worse without it. Still wear it with pride despite a bit of scuffing on the leather and nylon :D Awesome review Ryan, top notch production as always.
My dxr legend full leather jacket has all the CE plates you could wish for. And a thermal liner, I ordered it from Germany and it cost me £120, which is less than $200 I've slid it down the road at 80 mph when knocked off my bike in dry conditions and it's barely got a scratch on it, incredible jacket, highly recommended over all of these for a cruiser look
Thanks for the great videos! It's great having a tall reviewer on gear being 6'3" myself, finding gear that fits is always a challenge. Fortnine should consider doing a video on riding gear for tall riders. Thank you for the consideration
I have the first leather jacket he reviewed on this vid. It faded kinda fast but it’s warm as hell. I’m 5’11” 165lbs and it fits me perfect, I can still wear a sweatshirt under it and it fits good.
I've had the Drifter for a while now and really like it. Mine didn't smell that much, though. Yes, it's hilarious when someone picks it up and discovers the darn thing weighs a ton - my sister asked if I had lead in the pockets! You're right about the sleeves - I'm pretty fit and they are tight around the biceps.
Oh, and I currently wear a Victory "Classic" jacket with armor. Was riding Vic's before I bought my Harley and found it on sale for around $100 - couldn't say no to that! Was easy to remove the badging, too. :D
FortNine Please, please start doing women's gear reviews. The moto industry treats us like cup holders in a sports car; an afterthought. And then they convince themselves that women don't want to ride bikes!
@@FortNine jealous that guys jackets get pockets that are big enough to be useful, and leather gear that actually has armor... Women's jackets leave a lot to be desired!
Pretty sad that the river road Laughlin jacket is discontinued. I really liked the versatility, functionality, and style of it very much. Is there another jacket that you can compare to that is still available? Thanks. Also a big fan. You have amazing editing and splicing skills as well as you explain things very effectively. Keep doing what you are doing, I appreciate all you do and make
Yeah it's a bummer - the Laughlin was the best jacket River Road made, in my opinion. The closest thing I've come across is the Black Brand Street Team (www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/black-brand-street-team-jacket.html). Similar in every way, except it has a windproof liner instead of the Laughlin's quilted one. I like the Joe Rocket Iron Age too (www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/joe-rocket-iron-age-jacket.html), although the style is a lot more motorcycle-ish. Glad you enjoyed the videos! My buddy handles the editing and splicing - he's very talented. ~RyanF9
Ah, thank you so much for those suggestions, I will definitely check those out. And yeah, little skulls on buttons aren't my cup of tea. Screams try hard to me. But thank you. Alex
I have the same problem with leather jackets - the sleeves and the whole jacket are too short while the fit around my chest shoulders and waist is pretty loose which spoils the look.
Can I suggest you take a look at the "AGV sport element vintage leather jacket?" It looks 10x better than the river road, is disressed better and comes fully loaded for armour. I put in D30 armour and it makes the jacket amazing. I can also attest to it's quality, I was rear-ended, jacket held up perfectly. It has a great sport look, but easily works for cruiser fans. Tbh, I've had a look at most of the jackets you reviewed and the AGV wins in style, features and quality.
Personally I want the Rev It Flatbush Air Vintage... even though I plan on being a sport bike rider I want to look casual off the bike, and the Flatbush looks like a regular old leather jacket.
Really loving the reviews you guys are doing, but if I may make one comment, I don't really like the way you guys cut the videos just to slip in a single comment (4:10) and the way Ryan bounces around the same room (0:15) seems unnecessary and forced. But I really love the multi panel view (2:42)! Keep up the good work guys!
That first jacket looks great. It's an amazing value, I'll definitely have to save up for that. Any chance you could do a video on eyewear? Something along the lines of goggles and color change sunglasses would be great. Getting a color change visor is expensive, getting color change goggles or sunglasses is much less expensive.
Good idea! I'll add it to our shooting list. In the meantime, I do talk about one pair of photochromic sunglasses in this video: ruclips.net/video/tC5GPf6D0rQ/видео.html ~RyanF9
FortNine Those are the sort I'm talking about. But, the Bobsters had a few reviews that have put me off buying them just now. I'm not sure if they're the same model as the ones you're covering, but some of them had issue with the photocromatic element months down the line. Which shouldn't be the case, the price they're charging should cover decent quality for that, even the full visors are only $150 and that's got to require enough film for at least a half dozen sunglasses.
Ryan- Please do a Top 5 for Tall Riders. I have the same issues that you have, everything is too short in waist, and to get the arms to fit, I have to buy a jacket that is ridiculously over sized. Most manufactures think that arm length is directly proportional to waist girth. Not true. I know there are some options that are out there, but I would like more and a review on them.. Thanks.
I never worry about how waterproof bike gear is. I always have my wet weather gear on the top of my gear on my bike or I ocy/bungie strap my wet weather gear to my bike or I get wet :)
Awesome video! Would you mind to show your full body with legs and feet for future videos when showing off these awesome jackets to get a better perspective of how they would look? Thanks mate.
Great review! Awesome sound, setup of camera. My only gripe is it seems kinda dark (can't see the black jackets properly) when it's on that coat rack. Other than great video :)
are you guys partnered with Icon, alpine or river road. or are they really your favorites in many categories? I don't know too many of the other brands but I love these videos
Ryan!! How is the vents on the icon 1000? I would like a jacket that is using D03 armor but also giving me safety. Sadly the river road laughlin is discontinued. I also liked another icon jacket you reviewed in the best jackets under 200 i think. It was blacked out and had no pockets at all outside the jacket. Which do you think is the better of the lot?
Hey! The Icon 1000 Basehawk is the best of the lot, but it's *not* ventilated that well. No exhaust vent on the back, so it gets stuffy. Not unbearably so, and I have used that jacket in 30C days, but there are cooler options. The Laughlin has a doppelganger you can buy: Black Brand's Street Team (fortnine.ca/en/black-brand-street-team-jacket). Also a very good jacket. Not sure which other Icon you're thinking of. The Overlord has no pockets on the outside, and does come in a blackout colourway. It's also the most ventilated of the three and a really good deal for a D3O jacket. But more of a sport cut. Hope that helps! ~RyanF9
Please review VANSON :)! These are best cruiser jackets. Not because I have one. Had one, and want one again! Not cheap thought, but there is a massive reason for that:)
I am new to ridding I purchased my first bike used from a dealer I have no gear and I don't get my license till this weekend.i bought a ninja 300 which is a sports bike but I like the hoodllum jacket. I've been slowly watching your videos everyday. I'm torn between saving A crazy amount maybe never ridding the bike the aria helmets are crazy expensive am I saying I don't care about safety by not getting the highest end gear. In Maryland it rains its cold its warm it even snows. Thoughts.
I've grown up wearing normal 100% leather jackets, and I've grown up riding with them, my dad says that it's safe considering I ride naked bikes just to get around town I dont race and sometimes do longer rides with my Fz-o7, my only complaint is all the proper leather motorcycle jackets aren't in a female cut😅, should I get a proper jacket or should I just stay with my jacket that I've used since I was 16? (I'm 18) should I get a new one?
First of all, i am a huge fan.... also may be next time when you introduce a product you can put in the name on the video and link where can we buy them. i has to pause and go back to get the name properly and then type it google. so please consider this request. it makes it easy for us.. thanking you in advance.
Thanks! Check out the description box beneath each video. You might have to click a "show more" button. We put all the product names and links in there. Good idea about adding text into the video though - I think that would help! ~RyanF9
We're about the same height, but you're much slimmer :-( lol... I always need tall in jackets or long sleeve shirts. Really nice selection of jackets in this video, but how about making one just for what's available in tall sizing?
i recently bought a motorcycle leather jacket on wish, i order it XXL is asia size that i think is Large in USA size, i dont know if gonna be more big, i use small and medium shirts, do you think the asian size XXL could fit to me or going to be big to me?
i think the name tag use its that in the event of an accident that also makes you lost your wallet the paramedics know who you are. And btw, great videos! Keep the good work!
We've still got loads of Basehawks (fortnine.ca/en/icon-1000-basehawk-jacket) ... But yeah, there are other armoured hoodies out there. One of my faves is the Joe Rocket Hardcore (fortnine.ca/en/joe-rocket-hardcore-armored-hoody). Much cheaper, which is a bonus. No leather sliding zones, which is a bummer. ~RyanF9

Ben Tate I've been looking at getting the same jacket, how is it for quality and fit? Struggling to find any in depth reviews online! Cheers.
Thanks for the great videos! It's great having a tall reviewer on gear being 6'3" myself, finding gear that fits is always a challenge. Fortnine should consider doing a video on riding gear for tall riders. Thank you for the consideration
Mate can I just say your gear an bike reviews are the best I av ever seen.
your reviews are excellent, very detailed and what I love is you don't like every product you review!
I have the first leather jacket he reviewed on this vid. It faded kinda fast but it’s warm as hell. I’m 5’11” 165lbs and it fits me perfect, I can still wear a sweatshirt under it and it fits good.
Dude very professional very informative videos two thumbs up and subscribed thank you..
I know right... as much work as he must put into his videos you'd think he would have more views.

Real leather smell IS quality and part of the tanning process. Leather smells soooo good. I would love it to keep that leather smell.

Oh good! Was wondering if anyone would find those useful. ~RyanF9
I love that jacket! You look amazing in leather ☺️☺️
try Dainese Stripes Tex. it costs 200 bucks but offers protections too
Richa Austin is a fantastic buffalo leather jacket made in Belgium. Also includes D30 armor.

The Speed and Strength Off The Chain 2.0 would fit great on this list!!!

Have you guys tested the Segura Maddock Kaki? Looks awesome, waterprotected, enough protection and affordable (if you ask me)
perfecto is always going to be my choice of a jacket
No armor and it looks 2edgy4me.

May we have a updated version of this “Cruiser Jacket” video?

When a video of jackets you can wear with a suit? I work in an office and not finding anything that I can wear on a daily basis.
Have you checked out the John Doe jacket's and kevlar shirts? would love a review on them as there is not much to find

Dont forget about the Rev IT! Stealth

Please review VANSON :)! These are best cruiser jackets. Not because I have one. Had one, and want one again! Not cheap thought, but there is a massive reason for that:)
Pawel Wisniewski
Yep Hanson are beautiful v tough jackets. I have a heavy duty (14oz canvas waxed) 'Dover' jacket. It's a cruiser/cafe jacket.
I have Vanson. Makes all these look like the cheap foreign made crap they are.
I prefer my Men's Fremont Triple Vent 😉
@fortnine hey fortnine how do you feel about the "Icon 1000 Basehawk Jacket" in the summer months? is it breathable enough?

awesome video super informative.
narrows down what im getting ;)
Would be great to have a
fashion;high-end jacket.
(Belstaff, jackets carried at union garage;Robinson,Aether Skyline).
Just my two cents on it :)

Haha what a inconvenience. I love how lazy we are these days. I would’ve had the same complaint don’t worry
Have you reviewed (or will you review) the Scorpion 1909? I'm checking out the Laughlin!
Great reviews bud. I'm a sport bike guy, but I'm just not a fan of that motogp look. Think Dr House and his CBR, that's kind of where I sit at lol.
I was wondering about adding belt loops to jackets which lack them. Is that safe, practical, and worthwhile?
Yeah I think it'd be worthwhile! ~RF9
We're about the same height, but you're much slimmer :-( lol... I always need tall in jackets or long sleeve shirts. Really nice selection of jackets in this video, but how about making one just for what's available in tall sizing?
Can you where the first one for a sport bike?
Could you make an updated/current version of this video?
I love this! 💖
Great vid!!
Excellent video ...
can definitely tell you don't ride a cruiser lol. also check out rokker black jacket, makes best all around jacket I own and complements for days.
i recently bought a motorcycle leather jacket on wish, i order it XXL is asia size that i think is Large in USA size, i dont know if gonna be more big, i use small and medium shirts, do you think the asian size XXL could fit to me or going to be big to me?
You are an engineer!!!
Laughlin already discontinued?
Unfortunately, yes. Black Brand's Street Team is a very similar alternative (www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/black-brand-street-team-jacket.html) ~RyanF9
i think the name tag use its that in the event of an accident that also makes you lost your wallet the paramedics know who you are. And btw, great videos! Keep the good work!
droidzero09
I'll buy Basehawk jacket :)
Thanks!
how do you not like the smell of leather man lol good video btw
I just tried to get to the links for the jackets and they don't work. Nice video though.
Hi, I’m 75 in tall, weigh 400 lbs, have a 66 in chest and a 68 in waist at the belly button. I can’t find any hi viz textile jackets in my size. Help!
so king joefrey is reviewing leather jacket now?
Can't find River Road being sold anywhere in states.. Who sells this. ?
Drinking game :everytime he says 6'3 take a shot
didn't you have this jacket in your harley review but it was a different color, how do you get that color?
I guess River Road is gone out of business, or Fortnine has stopped carrying them?
What about Rst crosby. Would you give your opinion on it?
laughlin is discontinued
True. But fear not! It has a doppelganger: fortnine.ca/en/black-brand-street-team-jacket ~RyanF9
FortNine
5:53 are those pockets for key-less ride?
No double rider jackets?
No link for the products that you put up can be viewed by me.
Little pocket is hand warmers
Best leather motorcycle jackets? Please?
Great video
Any review for the Reax- Alta jacket?
When did Joffrey paint his hair?
why do none of these jackets have hoods!
What size is the jacket that he's wearing?
"I really wish I was a little bit shorter"
said no one ever
i like your videos :)
your a smart dude.... MOTOPORT my Brother!
Thanks man
Are there any jackets like the base hawk?
We've still got loads of Basehawks (fortnine.ca/en/icon-1000-basehawk-jacket) ... But yeah, there are other armoured hoodies out there. One of my faves is the Joe Rocket Hardcore (fortnine.ca/en/joe-rocket-hardcore-armored-hoody). Much cheaper, which is a bonus. No leather sliding zones, which is a bummer. ~RyanF9
