Well New Enough delivered my Teknic Lightning jacket on Friday and I am very happy with it. I can't believe how great this jacket is for $139 bucks! I was a lil skeptical of ordering a jacket online but New Enough did a good job of helping me out. All in all it was a good experience and I'd recommend this jacket to anyone w/o a gut (I'm 6'3'' and 165). Now I wish there wasn't 6 inches of snow on the ground and my bike wasn't torn apart.

Hey gitarman, glad to hear you like your new gear  :thumb:   There's nothing quite like it.... exciting!!!!  When I got my haul a few weeks back it was all I could do not to get totally geared-up and sleep in the garage, curled up under the bike  :lol:

Now all you've gotta do is get your ride up to State College so we can hit the roads this spring  :cheers:

I got a Lightning jacket from them about a month ago too.


I love the jacket, and What a deal huh?

Oh, btw - for me it was $139 + about $9.50 shipping to IN - no tax.  So total around $149.

On occasion you'll see Motorcycle-Guy running around my house pretending he's riding.   :lol:

*whew* im not the only one that puts my jacket on just for fun  :roll:

cozy: I usually wear a 40 in jackets but ordered a 42 and it works.

GRU: There was 9 bucks shipping...they only charge tax if you live in TX

definitely get cowskin if you can...I almost bought the Thunder (prett much identical to the Prowler except its not perforated) then I realized it was goatskin. Isn't as strong and doesn't look as nice (IMO). But for 120 bones its hard to beat in a perforated jacket.

cozy

Good thing i mentioned it, sounds like you fellas are down on goat skin.
Thanks once again!

I second that.  :mrgreen:

And, yeah.  I wear a 38 to 40 in a suit jacket, and had to get a 42 (after getting the 40 and having to send it back), cause they run small.   :dunno:

I am starting to like Teknic gear myself.

I purchased a brand new 2-piece leather racing suit from NewEnough.com via ebay several months back for about $160. Now, I'm thinking about matching it with these:
http://www.newenough.com/teknic_violator_gloves_page.htm

Does anyone have any experience with these gloves? Since I live in Texas I don't know if this is really a good deal or if I'm better off spending another $30-$40 and upgrade to the Teknic Violator Pros or Speedstar gloves somewhere else?

Let me know what yall think.

I ordered those gloves too...as well as the Teknic Defender gloves...oh...and the Held tank bag also...

they retail for a MUCH higher price...so i guess for 39 bux...it's an awesome deal

I'm looking at a Teknic one peice perf leather suit myself...good to hear they run small since 38 is smallest I can find online.

By the way, paul at newenough tells me that the green ones that are doubly on sale (they ARE ugly, but for $219!) also run a bit smaller than same size suit in other colors.

Pantablo, just FYI:
--my 2-piece suit is a size 38. I am 5'2" and was weighing about 135 lbs. (size 30 waist) when it fit. It was not tight or restrictive, but snug (i.e. suck in my stomach a little to zip it up). The pant legs were slightly long, but would be ok on my bike with knees bent. I would think the length would probably be perfect for someone 5'4" or with 28 inch inseam (to the ankle). Hope this helps.

For your pictures I would not have known you were a size 38. :dunno:
Hope this helps.
