Jacket review: Bering Shelby

Liam Marsden, 20 July 2012 16:14

Bering Shelby jacket, £327.99Time owned: Two months What's good? The Knox armour in the shoulders and elbows is very comfy and fits perfectly to my frame (lanky, slight). It’s one of the thickest leather jackets I’ve worn and as such can be worn more often than most, but it still manages to keep me relatively cool when it is hot ...

Product review: Knox Cold Killers mens sport top

Liam Marsden, 30 April 2012 12:01

Knox Cold Killers mens sport top, £54.99Miles covered/time: 500/two months What's good: It’s lovely and snug and surprisingly, for something so thin, warm. The arms and front are both windproof and keep your torso nice and warm during cold rides. The entire garment is lined with a fleece material that feels soft on the skin and doesn’t irritate like some ...

Trouser review: Knox Cold Killers sport pants

Liam Marsden, 20 April 2012 16:23

Knox Cold Killers sport pants, £44.99Time owned/miles covered: Two months/500 miles What's good? Exactly the same as the sport top, they’re comfy, light and, most importantly, warm. The elasticated waist keeps them in place, stopping them from riding up when you put on your top layer. The all-round fleece lining is nice and soft, with no irritation. It’s thin enough ...

Revit Athos vest

Liam Marsden, 03 January 2012 12:39

Revit Athos vest, £39.99 Miles covered/time: 500/one month What's good: MCN’s Adam Child reckons the vest is so bright he thought I was a police motorcyclist when I caught up with him on the commute one morning, so the hi-viz definitely has its benefits. Stretch panels at the side mean you can get a size down from what you’d normally ...

Revit Tarmac one-piece leathers

Liam Marsden, 02 November 2011 12:42

Revit Tarmac one-piece leathers, £699.99 Miles covered/time: 2500/two months What's good?: I don’t remember these leathers being particularly stiff when I first put them on, and after a day of road testing they were nice and supple – the cut of these leathers seems to match my lanky 6ft 1in frame perfectly, with all the armour in exactly the right ...

Product review: Waterproof trousers

Liam Marsden, 21 December 2010 16:14

Waterproof trousers, £7.99 Miles covered/time: 2000/four yearss What’s good: My dad bought these in the late eighties, before I was even born so I’ve no idea how many miles these had covered before I ‘borrowed’ them. Despite being older than me they’ve never let a single drop of water through and they fold up small enough for them to be ...

Suit review: RST Shadow one-piece

Liam Marsden, 16 December 2010 11:19

RST Shadow one-piece suit, £329.99Miles covered/time: 1000/four months What’s good? Despite the fact they’re not the top of the range leathers they certainly don’t feel cheap. The 1.2mm cowhide is flexible without feeling too flimsy and there’s armour in the shoulders, elbows, knees and back. Save £££s on motorcycle suits The back armour feels good enough for me not to ...

Product review: EDZ All Season base layer one piece

Liam Marsden, 01 October 2010 17:41

EDZ All Season base layer one piece, £50Miles covered/time: 3000/two years What’s good? If you struggle getting your leathers on and off because the lining sticks to your skin then you need one of these. The suit wicks away sweat from your body and keeps you cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cool. What’s not? The legs and ...

Kit review: Forcefield Pro L2 back protector

Liam Marsden, 07 July 2010 11:44

Forcefield Pro L2 back protector, £94.99Miles covered/time: 1000/one month What's good? After being properly measured up for this back protector, it fits much better than my previous Forcefield and feels much more secure. Due to the fact it fits properly it also conforms to my shape as my body heat softens it ­ After a long, hot ride it's incredibly ...

Product review: Forcefield Sport-Lite L1 back protector

Liam Marsden, 13 April 2010 15:12

Forcefield Sport-Lite L1 back protector, £84.99Miles covered/time: 12,000 miles/two yearsWhat’s good: After the first few rides with the Sport-Lite it becomes almost unnoticeable – it is as it says – light – and the shoulder straps and waistband give you plenty of adjustment.What’s not: The back protector is designed to mould to the shape of your back as your body ...
