Its terrible because you are generally putting out a significant chunk of change when buying gear so you expect it to perform. I wish you untold luck with your new jacket. <br /><br />I love my TourMaster gear, but it is black. When I purchased it they didn't have it in stock in the hi-vis and I needed a dry jacket & pants. This past Saturday I purchased a hi-viz yellow traffic vest and it is the lovely yellow-lime color.. I am even thinking of moving to a hi-viz helmet as well. I looking for a summer weight jacket and I am going to buy it in hi-viz then I am not adding any layers. Anything that helps me be seen. One good thing that I am happy about is that the JR company stood behind their product and refunded my money. Their warranty and those of most gear companies is that you have to send it back to them for them to look at & decide what they are going to do, which when you ride every day and depend on your gear is not an option unless you have spares. Good luck!!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-46051517121548167632012-01-09T20:54:03.914-05:002012-01-09T20:54:03.914-05:00Trobairitz thanks, the Rev'it Siren is a great...Trobairitz thanks, the Rev'it Siren is a great looking jacket, it is too bad it doesn't come in a "look out here I come" colour.<br />and ...<br />Dar, I know what you mean. Don't you just hate it when things (expensive things) don't live up to your expectations. I've got a Teknic jacket for cooler weather, as well as my old Rocket but I just got tired of riding in the "dark". Keep your fingers crossed that the 11.0 will hit the mark. I love the lime green.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-42516169067602381772012-01-09T02:05:08.224-05:002012-01-09T02:05:08.224-05:00I wish you luck with this jacket, I had the 10.0 v...I wish you luck with this jacket, I had the 10.0 version in pink & black loved it in the summer, but it did NOT perform in the winter at all. It was not waterproof, I ended up getting soaked, my cellphone & camera were almost ruined. I had to resort to carrying everything in a ziplock bag. It leaked everytime it rained, which is all winter here. I had the coat for 9 months and was disappointed beyond belief. I finally ended up taking it back to the dealer & they called Joe Rocket and they agreed to refund my money. I also had the ballistic pants and they failed as well and they went back. <br /><br />I ended up purchasing TourMaster gear & it has been perfect. Sorry to be negative, but it was a bad experience.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-10485686747123604952012-01-08T23:23:07.460-05:002012-01-08T23:23:07.460-05:00Great looking jacket.
