Anyone hear of these guys? A friend of mine in Portland, OR pointed them out to me.
It's somewhat scooter-focused, but they have a nice-looking leather jacket and wondered if anyone knows if it's solid gear or not.

Reminds me of the GoGo Scooter Girls stuff. Looks nice but is really scooter oriented and not moto. For around town it's OK but anything at a decent clip is not gonna go over well. Mind you this is just my opinion from looking at it.
Does your friend have any of their gear? Even though they say that they have pads, I worry about things that don't strap the pads in place.
Well, some of their stuff looks as Moto as anything else out there - like this one

Of course some of the other stuff does look to be a looser, fashion cut that might allow armour to shift.

How do you mean strap in place? Just curious

that jacket caught my eye too, but I'd check on the armor and inquire about the thickness of the leather before purchasing. The other jacket metion Knox armor, but this one just refers to it as "armor" which may, or may not be worth anything. Also, if the leather is the thickness that's more for fashion leather, you're not much better off with a jacket from Wilson leather or something.

I mean like how many of the textile jackets have 2 arm straps to sinch them up so that the pads for the elbows and fore arms don't flap around. The A* jacket I have doesn't have straps to sinch up the sleeve tightness but it doesn't need it either. The stuff Corrazzo has seems to be a looser fit and I worry about the pads not staying where they're supposed to in a get-off.
