I just got it via fed-ex, and it's REALLY NICE!! The leather is nice and thick, the lining is nice, and the fit is awesome. I can't believe that they sell these so cheap!

They have a bunch of other jackets avail., but I just HAD to go with the Red-Bull/Yamaha one, y'know?

Well, when I first saw the jacket and the price, I thought: "hmmm, that would be a really cool jacket to wear riding around town!" I knew it couldn't be like a Joe Rocket, or like my AlpineStars jacket, and it's not. But for $200.00...for a leather jacket...which looks THIS cool, I figured I couldn't go wrong. So, I called their 1-800 number and spoke with a woman named Claudia. I think she was German. She helped me order the right size and everything. (BTW...WHEN ORDERING, GET ONE SIZE LARGER THAN YOU NORMALLY WEAR.) I usually wear an XL, so I got the XX-L and it fits perfect. I think she said that the sizes go up to something like XXXX-L!!!
But yes, the quality is actually MUCH better than I expected for $200.00, it even has (light) armor in the elbows, STEEL zippers, and really nice velcro over the cuffs and waist. I have no Idea how they stay in bussiness. I gotta tell you, both of my experiences with this company have been REALLY good. shyong 01-23-2003, 07:57 PM Whoa! $199.99?!?! Man, I'm ordering one as soon as I have $200. :lol Limited R1 01-23-2003, 08:00 PM Originally posted by orgnoi1

Now that jacket will go great with your bike.:yesnod highside 01-23-2003, 08:04 PM I'm only $184.36 short.
:mad: :mad: :mad: schpreck 01-23-2003, 09:43 PM Oh, it does! I just got back from riding for about an hour, and I got 2 compliments on the jacket! orgnoi1 01-24-2003, 05:33 AM Originally posted by Limited R1

Thanks dude...in all seriousness I have been looking for THAT jacket ever since I wanted to do the RedBull Scheme...what is even more kewl is there is a Redbull custom truck that drives around here...and some redbull chicks.....gonna get some pics done with them this summer hopefully...I do have to get the rest done of the bike though...IE the nose and tail....then I will be happy... orgnoi1 01-24-2003, 10:45 AM Really kick ass!!!!! This thing is super nice....only thing I see as being a problem is the liner isnt removable...It may be a little hot for riding in the summer time...but who am I to complain!! This is exactly the jacket I have been looking for!!! schpreck 01-24-2003, 05:10 PM Yea, I can see it maybe being a little toasty in the summer, I guess. But I'll never know if untill I try it. it does have that breathable material in the armpits, so maybe that will help. Aren't they nice jackets, though?! Holy CRAP!!! I absolutely love this thing. What a conversation piece. I've been out riding a couple times with this jacket, and every time I do, I get compliments on it. last night, I went for a ride to my friend's house... about a 15-20 minute ride there and back...I was wearing my jacket and a sweat shirt underneath, and I actually started to get a little warm. My G/F said that this summer she could just take out the lining for me, and sew in another next winter, so I think that's what I'm going to do. joemt 01-24-2003, 05:33 PM SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! I just ordered one!! :( djstretch 01-27-2003, 06:24 PM damn, that looks sweet
i'm checking for tall sizes right now sKy27R1 01-28-2003, 04:18 PM I feel sooo guilty, the fact that I'm almost 6 grand in debt and still had to order one just a minute ago. See what this R 1 is doing to me, makes me think, she is worst than a gold digger. djstretch 01-31-2003, 04:48 PM DAMN WHAT A DEAL
i just emailed them and was told i could buy one get one half off
if anyone is interested in one of these jackets i'll be willing to go in half
thats only $150 per jacket
that sounds pretty good to me
email me if interested
ecurtis24@hotmail.com
:D THE RED ONE 01-31-2003, 05:07 PM i'd get 2 , but i don't like buying shit without trying it on :( shyong 01-31-2003, 05:22 PM Originally posted by djstretch

Have you ordered yet? djstretch 01-31-2003, 06:15 PM i haven't ordered yet, i emailed them about returning them if it doesn't fit correctly
i'm a tall guy and don't want a short jacket
are you interested?? shyong 01-31-2003, 06:19 PM I might be for $150. :) djstretch 02-01-2003, 07:43 PM still no news from hugeindustries about exchanging if size isn't right
i'll keep you in mind and let you know as soon as i here back from them
stretch schpreck 02-01-2003, 07:43 PM i'm a tall guy and don't want a short jacket
How tall are you? I'm 6' 1", 200 lbs, and the XXL fits me like a glove. You should call and talk to that girl Claudia. She'll tell you what size to get. Tron 02-01-2003, 07:52 PM Originally posted by schpreck

Im a couple of inches taller than you mate & even a xxxL feels to small on me, its freakin sucks when are the makers going to make big shit for us...
:cool: schpreck 02-01-2003, 08:01 PM You mean it's small like...tight? Or is it too short (when you're stting on the bike)?
The reason I ask is that mine seems too short in the front when I'm standing up, but when I'm actually riding, it's absolutely perfect. djstretch 02-01-2003, 08:09 PM i'm 6'6" and about 230 lbs
i emailed Claudia but i don't think they reply to email over the weekend
i was told i could get one customized but i just can see paying $100 extra for an extra inch or two of leather
i'm not really fat but need it a little more length in the body
my jacket right now is a xxl and it rides a little high on the back WitoldR6 02-01-2003, 08:11 PM Does the jacket have a zipper to attach to leather pants?
Whoever wants to go in on an order with me is welcome to. I was planning to get the Corsa Corona jacket, but I might as well get this one as well. You would be hard pressed to get a better jacket for $150.
Similarly, I'm willing to go in on this deal with someone else.
I'll be checking this thread, but email me for a faster reply.
witold@rnchq.org schpreck 02-01-2003, 08:21 PM Does the jacket have a zipper to attach to leather pants?
No, no zipper for the pants.
BTW...I had no idea that they had a Corona jacket! Damn, now I'm gonna have to order ANOTHER one. That is, when I can spare another $200.00. (I spent all my money on race bodywork and Daytona race-entry fees.) WitoldR6 02-01-2003, 11:17 PM Nah, you're all set up from Huge Industries, schpreck.
The Corsa Corona jacket I was talking about is similar style but it's sold at startcycle.com and kneedraggers for more money. It looks money though. :yesnod schpreck 02-01-2003, 11:37 PM eeeewwwww....
I've had some really bad customer service problems with Starcycle.com in the past, and will never order from them again. I'm cool with the Red Bull jacket. no need to deal with Starcycle.com again! (headache) T-Pole 02-01-2003, 11:47 PM Yeah, **** Starcycle, they've dicked me around and just about everyone I know who has ordered from them. :machinegu :machinegu :machinegu Starcycle!!!:butt :butt schpreck 02-02-2003, 12:10 AM EXACTLY.
I have many friends who have ordered from them.
They have had really bad experiences. I know that EVERY company has customer service issues, I don't care how good their reputation is, EVERY company has customer service problems. But in Starcycle's case, it really just got REDICULOUS!!!!!!! tgdstar 02-03-2003, 11:55 AM If anyone wants to go halves on two.. let me know. :D Casino 02-10-2003, 09:18 PM Me wants to go half on it. djstretch 02-11-2003, 06:37 PM would somebody post a pic of somebody wearing the jacket
i talked to them tonight and they gave me the measurements of a xxl
chest 45'
arms 26.5'
waist 43'
front torso length 27'
back torso length 28'
i'm like 90% in but want to see how they fit
thanks
stretch djstretch 02-11-2003, 06:59 PM tron, post a pic of yourself wearing the jacket if you can shyong 02-14-2003, 12:29 PM What's the dilly folks? For the people who've already ordered the jackets...could you please post a pic. For those who are almost ready to order them, I might be interested in going half and half. ROCKAFELLA 02-24-2003, 03:59 PM looks cool Les-Boogie 03-07-2003, 03:56 PM will they make the pants that match the jacket. that would be cool the have the whole suit for track days and hard riding. I've been tying to find replica 1 pc suits and can't find them any where. Yohan2NV 03-09-2003, 08:23 AM Id go half w/ somebody interested also? Hot Rod R1 03-10-2003, 02:19 PM Damn I have spent a shit load of money on my bike. Know I will have to get this!! geo990 03-19-2003, 09:52 PM where do u see a corona jacket? | |
