We need these every year. You're honest and we need new gear all the time. Updates yearly would be helpful on best buys and things to avoid.

people over here being trolls and sarcastically asking his height and weight, but its review details like that - that would have people complaining when they bought an item and it didn't fit because they had no reference point.. my best guess, the reason he says he height and weight each time is because hes doing a review on each jacket and there are quick jump points in the description that maybe people are doing research on each jacket and don't care about the other items. So its nice to see the attention to detail here when doing reviews. go Canada eh! NS boy here RyanF9 ! keep up the reviews and good work! subbed.

Keep these vids coming Ryan - good job

Hello Ryan, Just getting back into riding again after a 3 year break. Loving your intelligent, informative videos.Just picked up my seventh bike, a 1997 Honda 750 Nighthawk. Great easy riding bike . I'm looking to get some new riding gear.I Love the way you cut through the BS and save hours of on line research narrowing down the choices for the new bikes & gear. Excellent quality video production.Glad I found you . Keep it up !!

I really like your videos..you put products out there for us to understand and up to date..too bad there's so many jacket manufacturing companies to choose from..the dilemma gets worse

great work man, someday you are gone have a million subscribers if you keep putting out content like all these videos. very impressive

Finally a motorcycle gear review guy that's built like me! Which is to say not built, lol.

you roll the hood up and use that little velcro tab to secure the "roll" to its mate on the jacket...

Hi Ryan, My favorite is the Dainese Mesh Armour Jacket I bought....it's absolutely the best ventilated jacked I've ever worn. Mainly because it's all mesh and the armour in it is fanstastic . The back armour has aluminum honeycomb sandwiched between ventilated hard plastic type material. Anywhere you would slide on the asphalt is covered with high grade protective armour....it's a fabulous piece of protection and great for those 85 degree humid days....All my leather and textile jacket have been moved to the back of my closet now. I think it was the Wave model....

I'm sensing he's 6'3 and 175 pounds

What's wrong with looking like a storm trooper?

The whole concept of street clothes is problematic, be they jackets, boots or whatever. There's no doubt that these garments are less protective than more heavy duty kit, but it's in cities you have the accidents. Here's a statistic from Britain: 93 per cent of all motorcycle accidents occur less than three miles from the riders' homes. Here's another: 93 or so per cent of all motorcyclists' injuries are lower limb. It makes you think, doesn't it? From my own personal experience, I almost lost my left foot following an accident in London in 2007. I was wearing low-cut boots which were forced down below my ankle which was crushed. I'm fine, but when I go shopping on the B-King or Ulysses, I wear my vented race boots, armoured jeans and a proper jacket. Another great video, though. You have a new convert.

Dress for the slide not the ride .

These videos are very well made.

word up from pei. . awesome vids you make

I know you guys are a Canadian company but I live in Florida in the US. I like watching your videos but it's like 110 degrees Fahrenheit here for 8 months out of the year. I haven't seen anything on this channel so far that I could even wear haha. But I'll still keep watching I like to see all the different gear.

so many fantastic videos

I have a Speed and Strength Mesh armored jacket that is wonderful for summer. Any suggestions for ladies (besides layering) on temp control jackets that are more understated?

Hello guys, do you plan to add videos for woman riders eventually? I like to watch your videos. They are really informative and fun.

You should do a series on tall sizes. At 6'3", I'm sure you need tall sizes most of the time, like I do. It's pretty aggravating looking for tall sizes in riding jackets, that I like anyhow.

I'm so disappointed that the River Road Laughlin jacket is discontinued. It looks so good! Is so inexpensive, and has great armour! You wouldn't happen to know of anything similar?

How tall and how much do u way again?

Happy new year

It's a younger Doug Demuro, but for Motorcycles! 😁🤙

Hey is the River Road Laughin Jacket available anywhere I can not find it?

@FortNine when talking about CE rated protection please go one step further and state the level. ex: cheapest CE level 1 vs. improved CE level 2

is there any of the jackets that you have reviewed in 5 and up xl in size?

Zillatownt....here you go then. You can't find better protection than this and all the air hits you and it's as light as a feather. It protects your neck, chest, shoulders, elbows,shoulder blades, back, and wrists....it's amazing and it gives you great protection and you don't roast in it.

what is your height and weight?

Hey Ryan, great video again. I to live in Montreal. Im seriously considering the Klim Jackets as an all around coat (touring, commuting). I want to invest in ONE good jacket (with eventually) pants for 3 seasons riding. I'm hesitating between Klim induction and Klim overland. I'm ok with layering, but there's only so much you can take off/put on too. Do you have any recommandation that would fit a daily commute for hot mid-July days when stuck on Decarie Highway and some cold spring/fall touring?

Can you do a review on the Crave For Ride jackets.

Great bids. What do you think of Knox and their layering system

Is CE level 1 the minimum or the maximum protection? I'm guessing minimum

thnx...again good info

The hood is the collar wrap it up and fix with the velcro??

Wonder if you could include the belstaff trial master it’s where all motorcycle jackets started

how is spidi? i am thinking buying their tex with protectors jacket

Fantastic video, Ryan! Quick question because I'm a little curious; and I suppose this goes for all of the products you review. Do you only review products that F9 carries? If so, are there any product lines you'd like to review that F9 doesn't carry? I'm just wondering if potentially being restricted with what you can review would change any of your recommendations. This doesn't just go for the jackets in this review, but for all product lines.

Hey! do you know about the "maxim" jacket from Alpinestars? I cant find any review on youtube... is a new jacket? or a very bad jacket that nobody wants it? haha

hey where can I find the River Road Laughlin Jacket ??????????????????

Since I ride in all white (white Scorpion EXO jacket, white-ish armored adventure riding pants [for the pockets & vents], white helmet, gloves, & boots, I COULD take offense to the "stormtrooper" comment. However, I can be seen a bit better than if I were in darker gear & that's the point. . . so I don't take ANY offense at all. Wear whut-cha brung, I say. Thanks for your videos, Ryan.

Hey fellow Montrealer ✌️

What's Ryan's height and weight again? I'm not sure I caught that

Hey nice review like always. I live in Costa Rica, just bought a 2015 883 iron. So is hot and rainy, what type of jacket can you recomend me?

Did you checkout japanese Komine brand?They have lot of protection and offer great value

Please do a best budget bike jacket video

where can I get a small river road laughlin jacket in black????

What is the brown jacket behind you?

Why would you buy the 1st jacket if it wont do anything in a slid? I wear a leather jacket when ever i ride and put a cheap waterproof jacket over the top when it rain.

I'm a bit bummed that the River Road Laughlin Jacket has been discontinued... :/

a) River Road Laughlin is sold out at my common on-line stores ... good job ... look at all those sales you helped inspire. Also, , because I want to buy one and can'.t b) Klim Overland is on closeout. What do you recommend as a replacement for this spot on your list?

I missed it, how tall are you ?

So, in resume you did not recomend the Alpinestars jacket because is tooo simple?

the orange/black alpinestar jackets, hood rolls down on its self and folds in behind collar

I have a great idea. No one has a motorcycle jacket that looks like a suit jacket. Where are we supposed to keep our suit jackets when we ride to work?

Ahh! That last jacket seemed so perfect but it's $500! Noooo!

Who else thought that was a du-rag when he pulled the waterproof hood tight?

Did you try rolling the hood?

I'm a fan and I'm planning on buying my first motorcycle jacket. I live in The Netherlands and I am planning on buying a Kawasaki z750 in the near future. I will be riding in 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) up to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). I already own a Alpinstars boot and gloves, but I was wondering what type of jacket would you advise me to get. P.S. Some brands are harder to come by/not sold over here)

I'm just kidding dude. because you said it with every jacket. great videos

MONTREAL BOY!!!!

mike chang of motorcyles

you are best bro

You've been 6'3" this whole time? Damn

how tall and heavy are you 😁😁

can an overlord resistance jacket hold up at highway speeds?

Love your videos! But I wish there was a woman's riding gear version too!

You can win em all if you have the big bucks ~George

Ryan is a badass. A cool badass.

Perhaps the video is outdated but recommending a "riding" jacket with 0 abrasion resistance is a bit counterproductive.

a shame they discontinue good clothing

I wonder how tall and heavy Ryan is, it would make this video way better if he would just tell us

I wonder what his height and weight are.

Aw, the Laughlin isn't in stock in my size. Bummer.

What is Ryan's height and weight?

You forgot the Bellstaff jackets, good looking products and people won't even notice it's a motorcycle jacket when you wear them.

What if I wanna look like a storm trooper?

Still can't go wrong with the cliche leather greaser jacket lol

Whats wrong with looking like stormtrooper ?

How can a jacket that won't slide without leaving you looking like a taxidermy project be a 'best jacket'?

540! Whoa!

I actually like this content a lot better than the current stuff, which is more educational to A/V production students than it is to motorcyclists.

Ugh you kilt me at "540 bucks..." @.@

Hey guys, just got through the entire video Could anyone remind me what his height and weight is 😂

I wish you would just once tell us how tall and what you weigh. Just once, not 5 times.

i dont wear a jacket just a teashirt lol

Hi. My name is Jimmy and I'm 6'3 175 pounds

waist 50-53in and chest 60in

Here is what mine looks like:

i think looking like a stormtrooper is better

One more thing....Im 6´3" 175 pounds...

If you want a good jacket get a 5.11 sabre 2.0. It isn't armoured or anything but it looks good has lots of good vent lots of pockets room for layering and it has a big back pocket like the alpine stars so you could put in a back protector if you wanted

I prefer to ride in race leathers all the time, so that I look fucking sick.

But I want to look like a stormtrooper!

The River Road Laughlin Jacket HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED :(

You need to build yourself up a bit. very good vid.

in Germany d3O was tested ... and it's not that good, like you would expected. www.motorradonline.de/motorradbekleidung/nachruest-protektoren-fuer-motorrad-bekleidung-im-test/358979
