1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,919
this is probably the most exciting unboxing that I have done in quite a

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:13,480
while I have been eagerly awaiting this shipment from new enough so that is a

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:15,440
motorcycle gear supply store and as some

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:22,560
of you know I did recently purchase a motorcycle I just completed my training

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:25,400
course and this is my set of textile

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,439
gear that I have ordered in order to make sure that I am well protected okay

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:37,399
so this is a Joe Rocket ballistic 7 .0 jacket it features C approved armor in

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,960
the shoulders and the elbows so uh

9
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:43,680
hopefully I'll be able to show that to you all right it is in theory a

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:49,840
waterproof jacket although the outer layer is just a simple uh textile

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,879
material there is actually a

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,000
waterproof uh believe it's a midliner

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:58,680
yeah it's a waterproof no it's a waterproof inliner or something like

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,800
that no hold on I I looked at so many different

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,720
jackets no no this has a waterproof outer layer it ALS it also features air

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,520
vents for if you get warm okay you can see the zippers are waterproofed so you

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,439
can open up the air vents here in the arms you can open up I believe there are

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,960
other air vents here in the chest open those up get some air flow see there's

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,920
an internal uh waterproof zipper underneath that as well I'm going to try

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,960
and get you guys a better angle on that just like that and then I believe there

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,479
are also uh air vents in the back so

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:37,200
that is the exhaust vent back here so you undo these clips there we go my

23
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:42,680
helmet was supposed to arrive today but Canada Post screwed up so uh I will not

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:47,200
actually be able to ride my bike this weekend which is very very unfortunate

25
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,000
okay so here I'm just going to start trying these on the idea is that I

26
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:56,360
should be able to put my riding gear on over top of my work clothes and then uh

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:00,280
I will be able to ride to work and then home from work on my

28
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:06,119
motorcycle okay and then I also o got matching ballistic 7.0 pants so new

29
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,200
enough is pretty good because uh it's cheap the jacket was on close out so

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,720
even though I wouldn't normally buy a brand name like Joe Rocket cuz it's

31
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,920
really expensive uh the price was right and then the matching pants were also a

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,480
fairly good deal you know what there's probably some marketing bullet points on

33
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:27,360
all of this uh convenient stuff right here on the jacket itself so Air Guard

34
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:29,360
super tenacious fabric that's good okay

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,879
excellent lightness durability freshness oh you know what something I should talk

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,680
about in terms of the fabric is the reason I went with a textile jacket is

37
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:39,319
because it does offer some abrasion resistance you do have the armor

38
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:43,640
included with it as well although it does not offer the same abrasion

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,480
resistance as leather at Street speeds though a textile jacket is going to

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,480
protect you well enough but it will probably be ruined whereas a leather

41
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:54,840
jacket will protect you and you can probably still wear it it'll just have

42
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,480
scuff marks on it a textile jacket's probably going to tear in that kind of a

43
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:03,840
situation so protector oh yeah this is the C armor so it does use a soft armor

44
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:09,159
inside this jacket there are hard armors as well all right here's a cross-section

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,040
of the air guard Hollow yarn cool high

46
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:14,680
technology uh fabric there I suppose

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,959
here's some other Joe Rocket stuff they do Leathers as well but uh I mean I'm

48
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,920
going to be riding in the rain in theory so the last thing I wanted was to uh was

49
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,840
to get Leathers okay the pants I believe the

50
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:30,879
pants actually zip up to the jacket you see there's a zipper right here it

51
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:34,519
includes the other half in case you have a different jacket but since these ones are matching they zip together right off

52
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,000
the bat these ones I bought a little bit

53
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,840
large because I do want them to go on over top of my

54
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:46,360
jeans and they actually have uh if they're anything like the ones that I

55
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:52,000
tried on in a local store yep they have zippers down here so you can actually

56
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,239
put your riding boots on here we go goes

57
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,120
way up the leg so you can put your riding boots on then put the pants on

58
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:03,439
here's the waterproof internal liner and there is the uh the mesh as well as you

59
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,239
can see the soft CE knee pad armor right there including a little Shin Shin pad

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,200
piece so let's go ahead make sure these fit because I actually didn't try the

61
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:18,120
ballistic 7.0 pants before I ordered them I tried a different series of

62
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:22,240
ballistic pants so let's see how this goes then I'll be all geared up for

63
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:27,240
riding except for my helmet which isn't here yet so I will not be riding this

64
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,479
weekend but I'll be thinking about it yep that's the best I can do so

65
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,280
actually give me give me a minute to get into the clo here and then uh cameraman

66
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:40,840
can either keep filming or he can not keep filming it's up to him I suppose I

67
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:45,880
know this is a little bit off topic as far as Tech tips go

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,320
but I don't know people seem to not really mind when I upload sort of my

69
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:56,000
personal stuff so cameraman's around behind me for some

70
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,280
reason getting footage of

71
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,039
uh me trying on these pants Oh God these

72
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:03,039
are hard to put on them there we

73
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,919
go okay so I did have to get the ones with

74
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,800
a short inseam so I got a medium siiz wayist

75
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,960
short inseam pan uh Joe Rocket was one of the few brands that I was able to

76
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:22,000
find that did offer short inseams without buying uh ladies pants which

77
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,800
there's nothing really wrong with either because they're all cut the same uh

78
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:31,280
there's only a few ladies garments for motorcycle gear that are actually cut

79
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,479
differently and they're mostly Jack one thing that's cool though is that

80
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,759
most of the ladies pants have uh adjustable adjustable pants so you can

81
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:43,360
actually fold them up and then they're like self hemming kind of thing so let's

82
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,639
go ahead and put these

83
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:53,960
on wow these full length zippers are a pain I think I'll go ahead and put my

84
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:55,199
boots on after I get into the pants uh

85
00:05:53,960 --> 00:06:00,880
as a general rule and wow this is hot so I can tell

86
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:07,960
already on a day like today I would probably need to have the vents open in

87
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:11,280
order to uh be appreciating the armor

88
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,440
and gear and such so when you're fitting

89
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,599
yourself for motorcycle gear one of the things that's really important is making

90
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,280
sure that it doesn't fit loose it shouldn't fit like street clothes so you

91
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,319
can see my movement is actually quite restricted in this garment because the

92
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,199
idea is I'm supposed to be down like this and that's the only position I'm

93
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:33,240
ever in it's not about how comfortable it is is it's about making sure that the

94
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,840
armor doesn't shift if you move around the fabric like this so you can see that

95
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,160
elbow pad is going to stay right where I need it even if I'm tumbling around in a

96
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:46,880
crash that's the whole idea so there we have it that is my new motorcycle gear

97
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,560
and I wish I had a helmet I will update you guys if the helmet does arrive in

98
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,880
time for Friday thanks for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe to

99
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:58,560
Linus Tech tips cameraman was commenting the pants

100
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,560
don't appear to appear to fit me quite right and what I was just explaining to

101
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:05,280
him is that when you're up on the pegs all of and you're wearing your

102
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:09,560
motorcycle boots all of a sudden that little bit of extra length is going to

103
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,919
go away pretty fast so these were bought Just a Touch long just to make sure that

104
00:07:12,039 --> 00:07:18,879
when I'm actually riding I'll still be covered from the wind so there you

105
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:18,879
go
