John Doe Helmets

They’re comfortable enough to wear all day under regular trousers/jeans. I’ve worn them in the office under my jeans all day and even wore them to go climbing outdoors under my climbing trousers (to save having to change my trousers in the car park), the extra padding on the knees was a welcome bonus when thrutching my way up a couple of routes.

I have fairly chunky legs and these fit me just right. Maybe a little tight, but that’s the idea (think riding jodhpurs tight, so need to be peeled off rather than slid off).

The only gripes I have is only level 1 armour, for negligible extra cost it would be nice to have level 2. also be aware the pockets for the knee armour are open at the bottom so you’ll need pads with Velcro on if you plan on upgrading to level 2 otherwise they’ll just slide out.

This is my second pair of Ruby jeans, I now have blue and black.

They are very comfortable to wear and I love the fact they are in half sizes and a good choice of leg length.

They are AA rated and the knee armour is height adjustable which is handy as I'm a shortie!

This jacket is really nice to wear and passes very well as a casual piece of clothing and not something motorbike specific. I'm amazed how well it blocks out wind it really does a good job and keeps you warm but not too hot. It's probably too much for hot summer days but I've been fine in the early 20's.

I am really pleased with this jacket in terms of looks, protection and comfort so I'm happy to give it 5 stars.

In terms of negative points it would be great if it had a couple of vents you could open up to cool down, however I'm aware that the design and protection level might not allow this. Whilst it is water resistant I got caught in 40 minutes of rain mostly on 70mph A roads and I did get a small bit of water through the zip at stomach level and a couple of small wet patches in the armpits. This is not the jacket I would choose for heavy rain so it doesn't concern me as it does a decent enough job if you get caught out.

Only worn once with air vest underneath and it hasn't disappointed so far really impressed but early days

These are a really nice fit and quality pair of jeans. Actually look like normal jeans as well if you prefer a more fitted Jean the waist comes up a little big so you can go down a size or so

Really nice fit, comfortable straight away and easy to get on and off securely with the zip. I have big feet and normally these casual boots make me look like I have clown feet. But these look like normal trainers. John Doe kit does really seem to be good quality.
