After loosing 65 plus pounds and keeping it off for more than 2 years, I needed to deal with my 3X Motoport jacket. It was just to big and potentially would pull up and over on me if I slid on pavement. Choice was a new jacket, or see if it could be altered. Seeing how the jacket was about 500, and still in great shape even though I have fallen off countless time in on dirt,so my first choice was alteration. I called motoport up and he gave me instructions on what to do about marking it and taking it in, it involved xlarge binder clips and a wax pencil. Send it off Monday and received it 2 weeks later, and it fits perfect. Cost was 140 shipped. It would have been a cheaper, 90 plus shipping, but I had him shorten the arms as they always were a bit long. I am very happy.
Ditto here. I lost 44 pounds. Sent my air mesh kevlar jacket and mesh kevlar street jeans in for alteration. They fit me better now than they did when they were new, before I lost the weight.
I have some Kevlar jeans that I wanted a few minor mods done to. I was in da hood so I called Wayne and scheduled a lunchtime appointment a couple of days ahead of time. When I showed up he suggested something slightly different that he thought would work better, did it while I went out to lunch and charged me $40 which I thought was fair for what he did. Another satisfied customer.
StuartV..............How far down does the air mesh kevlar jacket come on you....hip bones?,front pockets,longer?. I'm considering the Air mesh or the Marathon in mesh?....already have a Marathon in stretch.The Marathon I have would be a bit long (in the back) for mesh material (as coarse of a material it is,it would probably scath my M/C seat?).Any photo's of you wearing your air mesh?.I ride a RS Shadow 750 & TW200. TIA.....PM me if it makes more sense to do so?.
The waistband of the jacket just overlaps the waistband of the pants. I am not sure I have a picture that would really show what you want to see. But, basically the jacket fits just like the jacket of any 2 piece leathers would. If that answer isn't enough, let me know.
Ok, Wayne advised this type of jacket "should' be zippered into/onto ones pants?......I'm not into a "one piece" unit. From what I've seen,It appears that the zipper would be a pain to coordinate with the pants.I already have a Marathon jacket in stretch kevlar,just thought the Air mesh jacket would be better in the humid Ohio weather for summer.IF,you do not zipper your jacket into/onto your pants and when you ride the bikes you have,does the jacket ride up on you?. TIA
My pants and jacket have zippers across the back that I do use to attach them together. That keeps the jacket from riding up. Though I've never noticed it riding up when I forget to zip them together or if I wear the jacket with regular jeans.
Do you have to zip them together first and then put both jacket and pants on....like a jump suit?.OR...is this zipper system pretty easy to manipulate?. Thanks again.
No, I never zip them together first. With just a little practice, it's pretty easy to reach back and zip them together while wearing them.. And totally easy to unzip them when I want to take the jacket off.
