John Doe Mono Defender Slim Cut Cargo Aramid Jeans - Olive The fit is bang on and I’ve used braces instead of a belt. They need breaking in a bit which imo shows the quality.
John Doe XTM V3 Softshell Ripstop Hoodie - Grey / Black This jacket is very comfortable, it hardly feels like wearing a motorcycle jacket. I got caught out in 30 mins of heavy rain and no water leaked through. My only criticism would be that the jacket doesn't have any air vents so it may be a bit warm for the summer months, I'm assuming this is due to the jacket being waterproof. I'm very happy with my purchase.
John Doe JD/One - Frozen Off-White The main purpose of this helmet is style, which it does perfectly. It is also decently comfy and light weight, with a good range of shell sizes. Additions and packaging are great. Unfortunately I had to return the first one before use as it started to go almost mouldy under the clear coat. Sports bike shop honoured that no questions asked. After 2 months this one also has the same marks under the clear coat. So would stear clear of the white. Another big issue is the fogging, to the point where this is now my summer helmet, in anything below 12c it steams up, even at 70mph. A pin lock system would really work on this, annoying it's no present but comes on much cheaper options.
It's a great helmet, but definitely only for style runs, not a reliable work horse.
John Doe JD/One - Signature Black / Grey This is a great looking helmet. Feels sturdy too. It’s extremely comfortable and with optional cheek pads to adjust you can get that perfect fit. Now when it comes to sound it’s not quiet by any means. I used to wear a Bell Bullit with permanently open vents and it was about the same noise, maybe a bit less. The finish and visors are also super scratchy, I had it for a few weeks and I already managed to scratch the two included visors. Also it does fog, not fully but it does fog quite a bit on the top and bottom, leaving the center bit of the visor clear. Besides the visor and finish not being scratch-proof, I can live with the fog and noise levels. Most buyers should be able too.
John Doe Mono Taylor Aramid Jeans - Indigo I struggled to find a decent fit bike jean but these were it, they're comfy, not overly heavy, the ONLY gripe I have is the knee and hip protection could do with being a little larger
John Doe Mono Defender Slim Cut Cargo Aramid Jeans - Black These are comfy and look good and somehow have that quality where they "feel" safe. Cargo pockets are useful and are large enough that you can grab stuff from them with a gloved hand.
John Doe Freewheeler Leather Gloves - Black Stylish, comfortable and great value for money. This is my second pair. I lost my last pair and decided to replace them instead of trying something new. They don’t disappoint.
