John Doe Mono Taylor Aramid Jeans - Dark Blue Jeans themselves feel & look good quality. However for AAA rated jeans the armour in the knees is tiny - smaller than most hip armour and I cannot imagine how it could protect the knees at all. Therefore you need to budget for buying new armour. With the jeans already top end price at £235, the additional cost of armour makes them very expensive. Whilst they are nice I do not see they justify such a premium over some other quality jeans.
John Doe Mono Defender Slim Cut Cargo Aramid Jeans - Olive AAA rated supremely comfortable, cargo trousers beautifully made I’ve been riding for almost 50 years now and these are in the top few pairs of trousers I’ve owned. They fit so well with just enough stretch that you never think they are pulling here or nipping there simply excellent.
I didn’t like the knee armour mind and changed it for ghost armour more coverage and less noticeable. If I bought another pair of these I’d go for regular cut rather than slim as they can look a bit like odours being so slim in lower leg.
Size is good I ordered 33 inch and they fit true to size -I’m a 33 normally. Perfect.
John Doe Rambler Leather Boots - Brown Firstly great service from the staff at the Bristol store. These boots are light weight but feel very sturdy and well constructed. Unfortunately due to the current weather I have not been able to ride with them as much as I would like. That does though mean that have fully tested them walking off the bike - one reason I went for these boots and they have been very comfortable. Looking forward to putting more road miles on them.
John Doe Neo Leather Boots - White / Brown Not waterproof, water resistant, good breathability, bought to ride and use in the gym. Slightly worried about the stitching on one of the trainers around the zip is abit goofy, right on the edge of the zip boundary but hopefully doesn’t come unraveled. Passed their quality control so must be ok… (fingers crossed).
John Doe Field Explorer Textile Jacket - Olive Jacket really is as described & fits exactly according to the fitting chart!
John Doe Mono Taylor Aramid Jeans - Indigo Great selections of cut and style from John Doe. Seems to be great quality and fit, replacing my old bullit cover ones. Looks like normal jeans, very happy
John Doe Neck Tube - Classic Flash I particularly like the colour and motif on this one. It has a more classic feel than most others and is a nice splash of colour in otherwise black riding gear. It fits well and is comfortable when pulled up over my hooter. It seems to keep me warm enough so far and I’m sure it will catch bugs in the summer before the get into my grinning gob.
