The Komodo Gear Vintage leather jacket is built to the rigorous race standards that Komodo Gear demands of its famous racing leathers. These leather jackets are constructed of full grain premium cowhide, not the cheaper top grain leathers that have been shaved thin to eliminate defects found in cheap pelts. The stretch panels in the Komodo Gear Vintage leather jackets are genuine Schoeller Keprotec which carries the highest coefficient of abrasion of any fabric. Zippers are YKK which are the “gold standard” for high quality closures, assuring years of trouble free use. This jacket, as all Komodo Gear jackets, also includes CE rated armor in the shoulders and arms (relaxed fit) for superior protection that combines all day comfort with classic styling. By the way, most “street” jackets do not have CE rated armor!
The Komodo Vintage Leather Jacket was one of the company’s first designs and it came from feedback that they were getting from riders that wanted an old school type of motorcycle jacket but with modern race quality protection. No funky designs, no 50 gazillion pockets and zippers everywhere; just a good old fashioned motorcycle jacket. Komodo, being a company that listens to what riders ask for, made a jacket just for them; try getting most companies to do that! Komodo Gear’s goal is to build the best, highest quality motorcycle gear and sell it at a price point that the competition can’t match. How can they do that? Not by using cheap materials or cutting corners on the manufacturing process, but by being a company that manufactures their own products and eliminates the “middle man” by selling exclusively on line and passing the savings on to the customer!!
You can get “leather” jackets cheaper, but do you really want to look cheap? Or when you are sliding across the pavement, are you really going to be complementing yourself on the “smoking deal” you got on eBay?

What Goes Into Making A Quality Motorcycle Glove – K-FX Racing Glove
Motorcycle Racing Gloves are essential for motorcycle riding; and required equipment for motorcycle racing. Quality Motorcycle Gloves are incredibly important in that they offer the rider feedback from the road, including information from the tires, motor, brakes and suspension. You can make decisions based upon feel and feedback. Because of the need to “feel”, you have to design; literally engineer a product that enables the rider to have “sensory” feedback and at the same time, offer protection that is robust. But, how do you have both? Typically, adding protection means you have to sacrifice feedback and feel. These are two very important aspects of riding. It also poses a great challenge in glove design. A single crash on your bicycle can ruin your hand for weeks. Imagine crashing at over 150mph on asphalt and never feeling the heat while sliding and maintaining the full function of your hands; now were talking about something quite extraordinary. The K-FX racing glove is a true proprietary race glove design that uses over a dozen different materials including advanced lightweight composites interwoven together to produce a unique, one of a kind glove. It’s not just the combination of advanced materials; it’s how they are combined as an application that allows full anatomical movement to create a glove that truly functions while under stress without the rider ever knowing it. The elegant design patterns allows generous amounts of Kevlar in critical safety areas and includes the right combination of materials/composites to offer an extremely comfortable, lightweight and protective glove. What is even more unique about the K-FX glove
is that they are “off the rack” and truly deliver on an exceptional fit and feel. They are well finished and come in standard sizing while offering more protection than any mass produced glove currently on the market. And at a Factory Direct price of $174.95 makes them the best value your dollar will buy when it comes to race gloves. Nothing in this price range including gloves that cost $100 plus don’t even compare. The K-FX glove has been used in local regional races, Red Bull Rookies Cup all the way to Moto GP. If one word can be used to describe the K-FX race glove, it is “exceptional”. Komodo also offers gloves for street use in mesh and shorty designs; both have received strong praise from third party sources across the world.
