John Doe XTM V3 Softshell Ripstop Hoodie - Grey / Black 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 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 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.

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

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.

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 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!!
