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.
John Doe Cargo XTM Aramid Jeans - Stroker Camel We all know the adage......you get what you pay for! Well in this case, you certainly do. These are expensive, no doubt about it, but my opinion is, they are well worth it.
The quality is obvious, the fit is just right, the comfort is sublime. This is my second pair of John Doe cargo trousers. My first pair purchased three years ago are still going strong (mono defender style) so I had no reservations about buying a second pair!
Their latest aramid builds contain a small amount of lycra which only adds to the fit and comfort. The extra liner is also very comfortable and feels quality against your skin, and just right for spring/autumn riding. The armour protection is barely noticeable and so also, very comfy. There is a large array of sizes available, so most riders can be accommodated. It's always best to try before you buy which is where SBS shines through! Always a good range in stock so I was able to choose the right size and length. I'm usually a 35 waist but the 34 was a comfortable fit. This is where the lycra help greatly. Unfortunately the camel colour I wanted was out of stock, but as usual, SBS were quick to re-stock and quick to ship!
I seem to be rabbiting on a little so I will conclude!
Great quality, very comfortable, look great on......I would easily buy these again!!
John Doe Mono Pioneer Aramid Jeans - Used Black My jeans arrived next day, what great service.
They fitted perfectly, true to size and feel really tough, heavier than a normal pair of jeans. The armour is discreet and you can hardly tell its there when off the bike, getting the knee armour in exactly the right place inside the internal pockets is a case of trial and error, but you can make a note of the final position using the printed guides on the armour pockets.
I ride a 1978 Moto Guzzi Le Mans and the knee armour is excellent as sometimes my left knee touches the hot cylinder. The jeans are comfortable when on the bike with enough stretch, and look great off the bike. Highly recommend
John Doe Mono Taylor Aramid Jeans - Black Used Very generous on size and relaxed fit
