What’s up guys? Happy Holidays! Today I’m going to show you the summer jacket I’ll be rocking in six months from the folks at Fieldsheer. It’s the Mach 7 from their Polytitanium Mesh collection.

As the name suggests, the Mach 7 has an ultra-breathable Polytitanium Mesh outer shell, and is anatomically fitted for an aggressive riding position. It also has removable CE approved armor that is equipped in the shoulders, elbows and back (with a comfort pad).

It is packed with 600 Denier Carbolex and SP memory foam in high impact areas for addition protection. And, as with all motorcycle jackets these days, it has reflective phoslite for high visibility.

For added comfort, there is a velcro adjustable micro fiber collar with padding. To fit everyone, there is an unique 4-step adjustable upper and lower sleeve volume control to secure armor in place for small or large arms. There is also a velcro adjustable waist strap. It ends with a zipped wrist cuff enclosure.

And of course, to store my stuff, pockets include: 2 zipped front hand warmers, 1 inside velcro, and 1 Cellphone. For a set, there is an 8” zipper for connection to Fieldsheer pants plus a universal belt snap. A rain blocker water resistant zip out liner is available for months like these.

Ah, it was only a matter of time before a manufacturer made one of these. Talking on the cellphone while driving or riding. Dangerous, but at least now the damn thing is built right into the helmet. And it looks good to boot!

Italian helmet manufacturer Vemar is back in the USA, and its new Jiano Bluetooth helmet is packed with desirable features. The well-appointed flip-up comes equipped with a pre-installed wireless Bluetooth system that features stereo speakers, easy to operate controls and a rechargeable battery capable of 10 hours of operation.

What up people? Looks like we are working through our Essential Stuff stash these past few weeks! Keep them coming guys! We love all your stuff!

So anyways, Frank Thomas has carefully designed and developed an extensive range of motorcycle gloves perfect for your everyday needs. All their gloves are constructed using premium-quality, highly abrasion-resistant technical materials.

The Voyage Aqua here are perfect examples of their work. They incorporate an Aquapore Advanced membrane that lets perspiration out - but not water in - making for 100% waterproof protection paired with outstanding breathability. And for the San Francisco weather this time of year, they are perfect!

So, my favorite features of the Voyage Aquas are the combination use of textile and leather materials, the fact that they are made of waterproof, breathable Aquapore Advanced membrane, and they have a claimed reinforced insert in palm. As I said in the video, my particular one doesn’t. A manufacturer defect maybe?

These gloves are currently discontinued but I have seen them everywhere from Cycle Gear to Kneedraggers for sale. So, now would be a good time to buy a pair! Peace guys!

What’s going on guys? In our seemingly endless supply of SHIFT Racing products, I am going to review the Chaos Gloves for you today.

At first glance, the Chaos gloves look like short cuff-style leather and textile gloves. They are made of goatskin leather in the palm area with Rima reinforcements. They have thermoformed 3-knuckle protection for impact and abrasion resistance. There is also additional reinforcement on the outside of the gloves for added protection.

As with most of their stuff, SHIFT put accordion stretch knuckle panels for added comfort and flexibility. The mesh fabric panels provide for added airflow. The pre-curved finger sidewalls provide a comfortable fit.

My favorite feature of these gloves is the wrist design. Yes, I know, pretty lame reason for purchasing a pair of riding gloves. However, I am sure people have made decisions based on even more trivial things.

In any case, the reason I like the wrist design so much is that it looks very similar to Nightwing’s symbol. For those of you in the know, Nightwing was the former partner of the legendary Batman. In the comic book world, he has since grown out of his Robin role and become a hero in his own right.

I wear these gloves just for that reason. It looks damn cool. I would not wear it to a trackday or a hard ride, but if i needed to run a quick errand on a hot day, these would be the first gloves I would grab. And at the $39.99 to 69.99 price range, you can’t really argue!

What’s up guys? GooDy here again with another goody from SHIFT Racing. These are Havoc leather and textile over-the-boot pants that combine street technology with off-road styling. Check them out!

Like I said in the video, these pants have 1.0-1.2mm leather in all the key abrasion zones. In addition, they also come with removable CE approved knee armor, and there are stretch fabric panels for added flexibility and comfort. To prevent chaffing and other problems of the sort, SHIFT put 600D polyester panels in vital areas for flexibility and ventilation. To finish it all off, accordion panels were put in key flex areas for unrestricted movement.
