I've had mine for nearly 10 years. Have used it for motorcycling, cycling, fishing and travelling overseas. Not the most spacious backpack but the versatility and durability is great. It's does get warm and sweaty in summer but keeps you cosy in winter lol
wow great all rounder for you. I've recently had two big crashes with it. both times I rolled onto the backpack to slide it out. The cargo net is shredded and some of the side webbing. The plastic shell held up really well and it slid well. imgur.com/a/w2kETMk
Looks good for full back protection, but when wearing it, you don't have any front protection for the chest. I've slammed into the side of a car when it ran a stop sign and that chest protection saved me. That said, neither the chest/back protector or padding at the top rear of my pants saves the lower back and I've taken some nasty backward spills that have smashed that part of my spine.
Bummer, glad you're ok. I do want to fashion a chest guard that attaches to the bag straps. To mainly act as a slide plate. My shoulders are also exposed without the motorcycle jacket. However I've made peace with that for now since I want to keep riding and enjoy it during the summer heat. My tailbone is covered with the Leatt 5.0 Impact shorts (smaller pad there might not cut it).
Hey Jon can I ask: When you bought your Nylonove pads were you able to get cheaper delivery? I was getting ready to pull the trigger on an order last night, when I had the shipping calculated it came out to over $160.00 aud, (pretty yiikes inducing.)😵💫😵
Hey mate, the shipping is horrendous. Same for my V1 pads. I'm very thankful that the V2s were sponsored by NyloNove. All I can do to help is offer you my discount code 'Jono' at checkout (no kickbacks just cheaper for you). There are some local fellas that print pads for I presume cheaper. Not sure if they're available etc but if you're interested?
Thanks for the reply Jono, I ended up taking the hit, (spanking) pads and peddles. Pretty weird how Leaperkim haven’t: either made better options, or sourced better options. But as they’ve had years already and haven’t made that move, I’m kinda certain they’re not going to. I’ve been watching you enjoying the Lynx, going to be watching you closely, kitting mine out about the same I believe.👍 Would like you to give me an honest read, on a scale of 1 to 10. How hard will it be for me to learn EUCing on the Lynx? Hard… Silly… demented? I’ve been watching some vlogs and it looks like I’m in for some ‘fun’.😭😁 @@jonoeuc 👍
Great content mate - you can get a MC backpack with for 10% of what this Swedish firm takes. Methinks its totally overpriced. Over 1000 USD is madness. ..
wow $1000usd? is that for the carbon fiber? yeah the price stung when i bought mine. Also i forgot to mention the company is Point 65 (degrees) N. If anyone is wondering
@@jonoeuc 1200 USD actually for top of the line. The problem with a lot of protective gear is that its not really protective, its produced by retards imho. They dont know the anatomy of humans or they dont really care. This product is overpriced methinks.... You can get cheaper spine protection def.
Cheapo hardshell MC backpack and a plastic spine protector that covers tailbone is less expensive - But its warm and Bulky. The D3O protection gear are terrible products since they only protect a fragment of the relevant anatomical structure. I really should make a video about "bad protection gear for EUCs " but Im a little too lazy......
hey, at 6:56 they are Smith s photochromatic (transition is branded) Would've preferred the Oakley evzero photochromatic like the road prizm oakleys i wear. better comfort.
I read that it's to distribute the load higher onto your back which is more ergonomic. Then the thin curve at the bottom contours to my back nicely. Provides coverage too.
