Motorcycle Teknic Violator Suit Armored | Racing Leather One Piece, Pre Curved

Tim — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 22:22:25 +0000

We review lots of protective gear here at Spot Motorcycles: textile jackets and pants, leather jackets and pants, and every combination of the two. However, there is a simple fact: for the ultimate protection, a full suit is still the king. Also known as racing leathers, a one-piece suit will protect the rider in a fall like nothing else.

The Teknic Violator One Piece Race Suit boasts drum-dyed, Brazilian cowhide outer shell construction in 1.2-1.4 mm thickness. Removable armor is all Knox CE-approved (shoulders, elbows and knee/shin, and spine). In addition to the premium leather, super tough DuPont Kevlar is used in vital places on the suit as well.

The cut of the suit is of the "racer" motif with pre-curved arms and legs. In keeping with the race design is an airflow hump for better suit aerodynamics, neck and back protection, and increased air movement in the suit. All zippers are YKK.

Now on to my personal experience with the Violator line. While I have not owned the full suit, I have ridden in the Violator jacket. It was an extremely high quality jacket. However, the line runs small. I had to wear a jacket size 52 when I usually wear a 48 in most leather jackets. If I were going for race fit, I would have worn a 50. With this in mind (and based on user comments on the full suit), you will probably need to order up a size or two.

Teknic Diamond Armored Jacket for Women, Black Cordura | Waterproof Quilted Long Sleeve Liner

Tim — Tue, 18 May 2010 23:08:01 +0000

In some people's eyes, the problem with armored motorcycles jackets is… well, they look like armored motorcycle jackets. The Teknic Women's Diamond Jacket offers a good measure of protection while still looking good off the bike.

Let's start, as we should, with protection. The Teknic Diamond features Knox Lite CE-certified armor. I am a fan of Knox armor, as I have had it in several personal jackets. The Knox armor is fitted in pockets in the shoulder and forearm areas. In the back, there is what Teknic calls an Armorshield pad. I am not as familiar with this armor. It looks more substantial that the typical foam back insert, but it still comes up short of CE armor. The jacket's shell is a solid 600D Cordura.

Now I am no fashion god (as my wife will attest), but I like the way this jacket looks. It has a good feminine cut and an artistic logo on the left chest and right upper arm areas. It also has some pretty cool antique gold buckle adjusters at the waist. The jacket includes a waterproof, breathable liner system and a quilted taffeta full-sleeve removable liner.

I think venting would be my only question on this jacket. It has two underarm vents and a rear exhaust vent. I think the lack of intake venting, combined with the predominant black color, would make this jacket a bit steamy in extreme heat or humidity.

Teknic Womens Freeway Waterproof Gloves | Cordura, Waterproof

Sharon — Fri, 16 May 2008 20:26:19 +0000

These Teknic gloves are just what you're looking for if you need something lightweight, waterproof, wind-blocking, and sturdy at the same time.

They're non-insulated, so depending on what country and climate you're in, this may or may not be an all-weather glove for you, especially if your road trips include hail, sleet, or snow.

The length and girth of the glove were specifically cut for longer, wider hands. Good thing somebody noticed! Whoever said all women's hands had to look like toothpicks? These gloves make for a great fit.

Also notice the 600D Cordura outershell with leather protection, Powerskin 100% waterproof/windproof liner, Neoprene finger expansion panels, hassle-free seamless thumb, and special Safety Wrap leather-enfolded pinky finger for that extra protection on the outermost seams.

Includes comfortable standard hook-and-loop adjustment, and a zip seal nylon bag for storage.

Teknic Sportbike Boots | Violator Motorcycle Footwear | Sportbike Accessories

Ken — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:47:10 +0000

These riding boots from Teknic are stylish as well as versatile. The safety feature list is quite extensive, but let's start with the versatility.

The Powerskin II liner encompasses the entire boot, providing waterproofing as well as breathability. This should allow you to use these boots in almost any weather condition.

The dual-density rubber sole provides a secure grip, impact protection as well as anti-vibration protection. It's also designed to be comfortable when you're off the bike as well.

The boot is adjustable in several ways for a secure fit -- the front and rear ankle panels stretch to fit, while the velcro straps allow you to adjust the tightness of the boot for a snug fit.

There are several important safety features: the shin plates are made of impact-resistant nylon and are backed with foam padding. The heel cup is injection molded for abrasion protection. The sole contains an anti-torque and anti-crush molded steel plate. And the toe slider is made of injection molded abrasion-resistant ABS.

The boots are available in black or in black/red.
