I had a good look at one in Motorcycle Megastore recently. Wasn't impressed with the quality. still no Gold Sticker either.bob_summers wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:59 pm One thing I always wanted but never bought was a Simpson Banditpartly because I needed lids with an ACU gold sticker for racing, but mainly because they were famously crap.
I see they still make them. Anyone bought a recent one?
Borrowed a mates one about 30 years ago, they're a car racing helmet, they're noisy and the hole you look out of is too small.bob_summers wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:59 pm One thing I always wanted but never bought was a Simpson Bandit

Nice jacket other than the Oxford badge slapped on the arm...
Missenden Flyer on youtube did a review, he rated it.
Yeah watchd that after seeing it mentioned in the reviews on SBS
Yes, bought on SBS earlier today.Supermofo wrote: Thu Apr 09, 2020 4:00 pm It was after his review of it that I took a look at the Oxford Mondial. Still not worn the bloody thing yet and I got it at Xmas! I did consider the Hardy as I watched that review too, but decided to spend the extra for the features in the Mondial.
I'm guessing you've bought it already, else I'd have said check out the Merlin wax jackets as well as they do some nice ones.
You'll be getting customer black listed...everything goes back.weeksy wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 1:51 pm Wasn't happy with it, mostly around the neck/collar, so it's being returned and refunded...
I've given up with jackets now, i'm done.
Dunno mate, it's packed up and ready to go. In all honesty it was a lovely jacket, but don't know whether it's because it's a bit stiff and a bit new, but it felt just that, a bit stiff. Around the neck i'm a fussy fussy person and it just didn't quite sit correctly on the neck for me. So it's being collected tomorrow.bob_summers wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:47 pm I was looking at that Oxford jacket. Apparently the badge is velcroed on?
I also looked at the Belstaff one it's based on. Silly money but I'd have one.

I wore belstaffs back in the day because veggie.
TBH mate, i've thrown the towel in on jackets until the world opens up and i can actually go try some on. It's costing me a tenner each time i try a jacket as SBS do free returns but only if you take a DPD drop off, which is my local (7 miles away) Sainsburys, which i'm not prepared to do at the moment, so i pay DHL to collect from my driveway costing me a tenner.Harry wrote: Sat Apr 11, 2020 10:41 amIf you like wax jackets then IMO the Belstaff ones are about the best.weeksy wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 1:51 pm Wasn't happy with it, mostly around the neck/collar, so it's being returned and refunded...

I tried the Merlin ones and the Belstaff ones in the same shop and ended up with two Belstaff Ariel jackets, a blue one and a green one - they were more than twice the price of the others and to be honest they're not twice as good, but you get what you pay for I suppose and the tailoring on the Belstaffs just made that little bit of difference that made them perfect for me.
Who wouldn't want boots that are called Krazy Horse?
No idea on them, but I have the TCX equivalent. I really like them, nice and comfy, look like non bike related so fine for work etc and they have a bit of protection. I got the Gore-tex ones and they are a bit hot in warm weather. I think if I got them again I'd go non waterproof.Dodgy knees wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:16 am Looking at these...anyone got any feedback.?
