Dainese vs Joe Rocket

  

Zakman -> Dainese vs Joe Rocket (12/21/2004 7:34:51 PM)

Would you prefer a Dainese (TH1) leather jacket or a Joe Rocket (Blaster) ???
My mom got me the Dainese for X Mas, and my girlfriend got me the joe rocket, so i have to keep one and sell the other !!! [:(]

Tell me what you think this way i can make the best decision.

P.S i got my XMAS presents early b/c i won't be home for X MA

If they both fit the same i'd probably keep the Dianese. I have never used them myself, but they have a great reputation. All my gear is Joe Rocket or Alpinestars. But like I said, quality wise, i've heard great things about Dianese.

Dainese is by far better than Joe Rocket. Don't even hesitate.


L8X -> RE: Dainese vs Joe Rocket (1/23/2005 11:55:33 PM)

DAINESE RULES!

You've been down twice in the SAME Dainese? Only reason I ask is that I had heard once you've gone down, you're supposed to replace any gear that hit the pavement, since the integrity of the armour could be compromised. (is that even true?)

NeonspeedRT -> RE: Dainese vs Joe Rocket (1/26/2005 10:16:25 AM)


Jackets are not like helmets. If a helmet hits the ground, you want to replace it. On a jacket, take a good look at the damage. If it's bad enough, then replace it. If it's a mesh or textile jacket, chances are it will need replacing. If it's a leather, it may hold up pretty well. Espically depending on the crash.

The impact doesn't compress the armour? (I'm thinking of the foam-type/flexible stuff that seems to be in most jackets)

NeonspeedRT -> RE: Dainese vs Joe Rocket (1/27/2005 10:47:09 AM)


The foam is supposed to pop back into shape if it gets compressed. As always you want to visually inspect a jacket after you go down. Most of the higher end companies like alpinestars and dianese use CE armor which is alot better then foam armor.
