My g/f was looking at their stuff, the TT jacket in particular. I am not fond of textile but she likes it. Plus gear for females is limited, especially for the pleasantly shapely.
I did the typical net searches for reviews, but they were limited. Anyone have experience with Powertrip?

It's Joe Rocket for the cruiser crowd.
I guess no one has any useful information. :dunno_white:
The specs on the site look good. I like the ribbed lookin shoulders :thumb:
For the price buy it. If she doesnt like it sell it on eBAy :thumb:
I have no experience either, but there may be a other color options here: http://www.ridegear.com/rg/item/F-17226/Power_Trip_Closeouts__TT_Jacket_Women_.html (http://www.ridegear.com/rg/item/F-17226/Power_Trip_Closeouts__TT_Jacket_Women_.html)
I think what he's asking is: Has anyone crash tested it?
Never heard of them but this site will provide you with reviews of other female M/C gear.

I thought my post was pretty helpful. It's Joe Rocket gear, just with a different name. Any opinions you have on Joe Rocket gear, be they good or bad, apply to the Power Trip stuff as well.

I know it distributed by the same company but I have not seen anything which says it is made by the same company.
It has the Joe Rocket rocket on it :thumb: :icon_mrgreen:

No it doesn't. A closer view shows its just a diamond with 2 trailing lines.
This might be a sticky over at Curve Unit.

Went I was looking for my first moto jacket I found a Powertrip jacket that looked sooooooooooooooooooo cool... When I tried it on, it felt like a garbage bag. Flimsy... Crappy... I was in love with the look, but I had serious doubts about it's ability to protect my skin in a crash.
I highly suggest checking them out in person before making a purchase.
Thanks for the comments. I will probably order her one to check it out. Since it will be from NewEnough, I would not have a problem if I do not like it or it does not fit her.
here's the one i bought my wife
http://www.metricbikes-superstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=1609&products_id=10494
she loves it,
i can only compare it to my first gear jacket so
its warmer, better armor, the textile material is also better
i wear a long sleeved shirt, sweatshirt and my jacket(w/liner) and still cold sometimes
she wears a t-shirt and her jacket(w/liner) starts to sweat.
i cant remember witch site we ordered it from but it was free shipping :dunno_white:
this is the only pic i have of her wearing it
