[RubenCan]

Hi Guys,

Here is my 2 cents worth, hang on............. better make it 5 cents as the 'ol 2 cents aint round no more. 

   Fabric for manufacture - cotton, leather,  textile, or hybrid? cordura or mixture with ventilated mesh.

   Length of jacket short or touring style? Touring length

   Consider the wearer of the jacket is riding a well faired bike that needs more ventilation. well ventilated so air flows on upper arms and from chest to back

   Any other specific design features? E.g.  Additional mesh panels for ventilation. yes as per above, also a clear pocket on the forearm or chest for a toll tag and waterproof pockets for phone and ipod. Also must have an elasticized waist and supported by Velcro waist adjustments

   Is ventilation required, placement of ventilation? mesh or zip on the back for airflow exit

   Does the jacket need to be waterproof? Removable or permanent waterproof lining. no as i prefer to use a separate raincoat and pants

   Does it need to provide protection from the elements when the temperature drops to 5 degrees? a removable liner would be nice but not essential as layering is important also. A velcro tab on wrists to adjust sleeve under the gloves

   Does the jacket need a thermal lining? as above

   Should the thermal lining be removable? yes

   Does it need to be suitable when the temperature is over 30 degrees? absolutely

Can I just say that you guys are just awesome and this is a brilliant idea

OK Velcro at the neck it is.
I also forgot to mention that at the wrist area there will be a vent of approximately 250 mm. Like all vent in the jacket all linings need to be removed for the venting to be effective .

I do accept that if you are designing a jacket that will suit such a large range of climactic conditions the jacket will have features that will not  be used by some. eg Queenslanders wanting ventilation will remove both linings - to be used only occasionally whilst traveling south, traveling at night or wanting extra waterproofing from the liner. eg those that do Long Distance riding. Whereas in Victoria most will leave lining in. Only be removed rarely.

Has consensus been reached is it time to arrange for a sample to be made up?
The image below is the jacket design that the OzSTOC jacket will be based on.
Obviously in your color scheme without the neck gator.
You will note additional venting you will notice the vent at the wrist area.
The OzSTOC jacket will have the additional venting at the lower chest and at the bicep region.
The jacket will have the additional venting at the rear.

Here you go.

I hope you like the design. This is an excellent quality jacket From a very good manufacturer.

Love it... in OzSTOC colours tho !!!

[Bikebear]

Can you explain what vents this jacket has and how much air flow will there be through the jacket? Living in the tropics I'd want lots of vents and good airflow.

[marx]

Concerning airflow. As you would appreciate you are owners of a motorcycle that is well designed to deflect air flow.
Streak sent this to me with ideal venting 2 pairs at the chest a pair at the biceps which I would expect grab most of the air flow plus the venting at the wrist. The jacket will have 3 vents at the back for the exit of air. You would remove the thermal and waterproof lining. There fore the jacket would be a shell with a mesh lining.

[Streak]

Marcus and I are just doing a redraw now, and will post where the vents are, but as Marx says, we are working on basically a vented shell and adding the liners for the rest

[Streak]

Right here you a more accurate version of what the jacket will look like, there is also zips in the wrists as well, there should be heaps of air flow! The lines are rough, but it will give you the idea



The exact tone of the colours and stuff we are still working on :)

Once we have a physical sample we will really be able to have a really close look at this stuff

[sargent]

Nicky and I both love the styling, yes it's hard to meet everyone's needs and whant's but this has to be damn close to everyone's wish list.

I for one love the Neck Gator ..... Bit then I read "not including neck Gator".

Them's the breaks i suppose.

[ST.George]

I'm interested as well. Tell me, is it the white bits that are reflective bcoz  I could add more of this to the design that would reflect our club's unique status of Ozzie appreciation of a great bike. So, if the reflective is the white bits I'd like to submit my ideas for more reflective.

[bikerpaul]

The jacket is mostly orange... so it would have to have a Wests Tiger on it... wouldnt it ???

[alans1100]

I'm not in the market for a new jacket yet and my current one is a textile touring one which does the job ok.

Though I am curious as to why a pocket in the back as there's nothing I can think of to put there. But then the only item I carry while riding is my phone in an internal waterproof pocket.

An issue I found with my jacket is the Velcro. The front is zipped with a Velcro held flap over that. With a strong gusty side wind from the right the flap opens so I've added studs to keep it closed.

The sleeves have a Velcro tab at the wrist and they too now need a stud to keep them closed but that's a minor issue except when I put my gloves on.

I don't have an issue with the neck as it zips all the way up but on warmer days I leave the zip open a little.

Two up riding... it acts like this

[Barry and Marissa]

Having had a look at the proposed jacket illustrations and clicked on to picture see the larger version of the photo's. I just know I'm going to cook in a jacket that doesn't have full mesh panels at the front and back, as I already cook in my current full mesh jacket when it gets above about 28 degrees.

Sorry but I'm going to pass on this one even though the jacket looks fabulous in the Ozstoc colours

The rear pocket if it goes from hip to hip so its around 350mm across and 200mm high is perfect to fit either your thermal liner in OR a Hydration bladder on its side.......thats how I use my current Summit Pro jacket.

We are just ticking a few boxes, and we are getting a physical sample made, then it will do a special RTE in each state for those who can get there to see it, so that we get a good viewing before we go to production.

So hold off until that happens 

This whole process is still has a way to go, so just make sure you get along to see it first

[Neale]

Love your work guys, this looks schmick.

4.   Increased ventilation provided by 3 pairs,  -6 zips at the front of the jacket - 2 pairs at the chest region and one pair at the bicep region which will be particularly effective because it would be outside the faired region. There will be 2 pairs of zips at the area to encourage the warm to flow. At the wrist to the elbow there is a vent of approximately 250mm. Of course for ventilation to function correctly the 2 lining would be removed.

6.   Plenty of pockets 6 pockets at the front, the rear pocket, 2 inside pockets and 2 inside pockets when the lining is removed.

Once consensus is reached a sample will be ordered and viewed for final approval.

We will have pricing available in a couple of days. The pricing of the jacket is based on an order being placed of at least 40 units. The orders will be confirmed by payment in full for the jacket.
