WEBVTT

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:06.919
this is probably the most exciting unboxing that I have done in quite a

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:13.480
while I have been eagerly awaiting this shipment from new enough so that is a

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:15.440
motorcycle gear supply store and as some

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:22.560
of you know I did recently purchase a motorcycle I just completed my training

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:25.400
course and this is my set of textile

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:30.439
gear that I have ordered in order to make sure that I am well protected okay

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:37.399
so this is a Joe Rocket ballistic 7 .0 jacket it features C approved armor in

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.960
the shoulders and the elbows so uh

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

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:49.840
waterproof jacket although the outer layer is just a simple uh textile

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.879
material there is actually a

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.000
waterproof uh believe it's a midliner

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:58.680
yeah it's a waterproof no it's a waterproof inliner or something like

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.800
that no hold on I I looked at so many different

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.720
jackets no no this has a waterproof outer layer it ALS it also features air

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.520
vents for if you get warm okay you can see the zippers are waterproofed so you

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

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

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:23.920
an internal uh waterproof zipper underneath that as well I'm going to try

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

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.479
are also uh air vents in the back so

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:37.200
that is the exhaust vent back here so you undo these clips there we go my

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:42.680
helmet was supposed to arrive today but Canada Post screwed up so uh I will not

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:47.200
actually be able to ride my bike this weekend which is very very unfortunate

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

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

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.280
I will be able to ride to work and then home from work on my

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:06.119
motorcycle okay and then I also o got matching ballistic 7.0 pants so new

00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:10.200
enough is pretty good because uh it's cheap the jacket was on close out so

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.720
even though I wouldn't normally buy a brand name like Joe Rocket cuz it's

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:17.920
really expensive uh the price was right and then the matching pants were also a

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.480
fairly good deal you know what there's probably some marketing bullet points on

00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:27.360
all of this uh convenient stuff right here on the jacket itself so Air Guard

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:29.360
super tenacious fabric that's good okay

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.879
excellent lightness durability freshness oh you know what something I should talk

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:35.680
about in terms of the fabric is the reason I went with a textile jacket is

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:39.319
because it does offer some abrasion resistance you do have the armor

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:43.640
included with it as well although it does not offer the same abrasion

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.480
resistance as leather at Street speeds though a textile jacket is going to

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.480
protect you well enough but it will probably be ruined whereas a leather

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:54.840
jacket will protect you and you can probably still wear it it'll just have

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

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

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:09.159
inside this jacket there are hard armors as well all right here's a cross-section

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:13.040
of the air guard Hollow yarn cool high

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.680
technology uh fabric there I suppose

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

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

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.840
to get Leathers okay the pants I believe the

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:30.879
pants actually zip up to the jacket you see there's a zipper right here it

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

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.000
the bat these ones I bought a little bit

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:42.840
large because I do want them to go on over top of my

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.360
jeans and they actually have uh if they're anything like the ones that I

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:52.000
tried on in a local store yep they have zippers down here so you can actually

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.239
put your riding boots on here we go goes

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

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

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.239
can see the soft CE knee pad armor right there including a little Shin Shin pad

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

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:18.120
ballistic 7.0 pants before I ordered them I tried a different series of

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:38.919 --> 00:04:45.880
know this is a little bit off topic as far as Tech tips go

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

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:56.000
personal stuff so cameraman's around behind me for some

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:59.280
reason getting footage of

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.039
uh me trying on these pants Oh God these

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:03.039
are hard to put on them there we

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.919
go okay so I did have to get the ones with

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.800
a short inseam so I got a medium siiz wayist

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

00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:22.000
find that did offer short inseams without buying uh ladies pants which

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:26.800
there's nothing really wrong with either because they're all cut the same uh

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:31.280
there's only a few ladies garments for motorcycle gear that are actually cut

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:34.479
differently and they're mostly Jack one thing that's cool though is that

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:38.759
most of the ladies pants have uh adjustable adjustable pants so you can

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

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:48.639
go ahead and put these

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

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.199
boots on after I get into the pants uh

00:05:53.960 --> 00:06:00.880
as a general rule and wow this is hot so I can tell

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:07.960
already on a day like today I would probably need to have the vents open in

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:11.280
order to uh be appreciating the armor

00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:13.440
and gear and such so when you're fitting

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.599
yourself for motorcycle gear one of the things that's really important is making

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:21.280
sure that it doesn't fit loose it shouldn't fit like street clothes so you

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:25.319
can see my movement is actually quite restricted in this garment because the

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:53.880
time for Friday thanks for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe to

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:58.560
Linus Tech tips cameraman was commenting the pants

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

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

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:09.560
motorcycle boots all of a sudden that little bit of extra length is going to

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

00:07:12.039 --> 00:07:18.879
when I'm actually riding I'll still be covered from the wind so there you

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.879
go
