So finally got my MotoPort Ultra II 1000 Denier two piece and definitely loving it. Couple points to summarize some key items that might interest anyone interested in purchasing:
1. The material, although 1000 denier cordura, is super soft and NOT stiff. I absolutley thought it would be heavier and firmer, but I guess NOT being coated with Polyurethane makes a difference. Wearing full leathers for the last two years, I immediately noticed the weight being lifted off me wearing the Ultra II
2. The reflective stripes added on the back and pant leg: According to my son, I "shine" even during the day. I used to wear a hi-viz vest, but no mas.
3. The pockets are very ample, with very tough velco closures.
4. Armour: all over the damn place...quite amazed at how much your body it actually covers. Hope I never have to test their ability...
5. Measurements: Absolutely take time to do ALL the measurements...twice...send Wayne some pictures of you wearing gear, and maybe even with just a T-shirt on so he can guage your body type. Once I sent him pics, he had a whole new batch of measurements he wanted. I'm glad we went through this drill, as without it, your gear ain't gonna fit. For example, I needed a XXL jacket to fit my shoulders and chest, but he had to seriously drill it down on the sides so I wouldn't be swimming in the jacket.
6. The pants have a serious elastic band around the back of the waist...will be good, as my weight fluctuates alot give or take 30 pounds (depending on how heavy I hit the brew and Cap'n Morgan and exercise or not :-)
7. Liners: Air flows rather nicely through it. I wore last night riding home with no liners (there are two for the jacket...one for waterproofing and one for warmth...take your pic). The pant and jacket liner can actually be worn standalone, which I actually find a neat option. When I actually did wear the liners, I was starting to wonder what the hell I'm going to do with my Gerbing gear. I fear I might not need it.
8. Zippers...huge, i mean really robust.
9. Comfort: Super comfortable. Oddly enough, I even felt some heat on my legs now that there is no leather between me and the bike :-).
10. Purchase experience: Wayne and Motoport are great. He gave me exactly what I asked for and we exchanged maybe 6 phone conversations through the process. I'll buy from him again.
If anyone has any specific questions, or want to see some closer shots of this or that, lemme know...
