I have to use that bladder you said I never would just to prove you wrong.

Any experience with this Teknic stuff? Our local place doesn't carry it, so I can't check the quality myself.

Their sizing actually looks like it's made for taller people (longer sleeves), anything bad about the brand? There's an ebay seller selling their jackets for ~$175 shipped....  hock:

Teknic is "ok". Its on the cheaper end, so its going to be heavier, not as comfortable and not hold up as well to abuse or crashing.

I've got a 1 piece teknic. I think we all agree I'm a crash happy fella and my Teknic has held up well enough (including a long 50mph slide).
Dammit I can't tell what's going on with those jackets.... looks like they're Cordura on the chest and arms, so that wouldn't cut it, would it?

Having mesh/cordura/etc that breathes in the arms, legs, etc is good - you need some breathe and stretch room.

My Teknic gloves (~$120 model, I forget exactly which) disintegrated during a fairly low speed crash... won't be buying them again.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Aren't the HJCs banned from some track events?

Some HJC's are, but not their entire lineup.

oh that's really great. I read they're decent helmets. You say some are banned. Wonderful! :? Which ones? WTF are they banned?

I did and was rather impressed, very comfortable.
But fucking worthless if they're banned. :? Oh great, I found the article. The CS and CL series. That's all? only 2/3rds of their lineup, and I ordered a CL-15.

yeah... same one I found. I don't actually see any "data" here to really give me any concern. Any follow-ups to this article or anything? I'll keep searching and find some dirt.

It's a kneejerk reaction to some nasty incidents involving the lids. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it... things will cool off and they'll be reintroduced eventually.

I rocked an HJC for a few years and thought it was a nice balance of cost and comfort. I then dropped the cash on a Suomy and realized what my extra money was getting. I don't have any reason to believe the HJC is any less safe, I just feel safer with the Suomy on.
FWIW, I wear my HJC whenever I don't want a tinted shield but I prolly wouldn't wear it on track.
