Nexo Leather Jackets?

[Bruzza]

I'm looking for some feedback on Nexo leather jackets, and was hoping that someone here has some experience with their products.

I'm specifically interested in the Nforce Jacket, but reviews as to the quality of their gear in general would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

I've had an NFORCE jacket since 2006 and absolutely love it.

First, it was the only jacket that came remotely close to fitting me. I'm 6'3" and as you can imagine, most of the jackets out there at short in the arms by several inches. Just as I was thinking about going the custom route, I tried on the NFORCE and it couldn't have fit any sweeter.

Second, there are some really nice touches in the construction. One example of this is the inner chest pocket. There's one in the liner, and other sown underneath so when the liner is removed, you don't lose a pocket in the process!

Third, the quality of the materials is tremendous. Solid leather and armour, beefy stitching and heavy-duty zippers. I had the misfortune of low-siding last season at about 80 km/h but the jacket stood up unbelievably well. with just some minor scuffing.

Lastly, Nexo is a Canadian organization and in the highly unlikely event you have an issue with the product, they are based in Mississauga.

I whole-heartedly recommend the company and their product. If you have any specific questions about the jacket, reply to this thread.

Just bought one this weekend. I liked the styling and features I will let you know how I like once I ride with it.

I have 2 pairs of pants by Nexo and both are a great fit.
Price vs quality is great.
I plan to buy their gloves next and a jacket as well.
I'm not even going to bother looking at the competition.
I also saw their boots at the show and I was impressed.

Nexo manufactured under contract for other companies such as Honda etc. If you look inside the articles you will often find their tag.

the gloves are excellent quality and fit...can't beat the $$$

I have a nexo touring jacket, Absolutly love it, Great in all weather, Holds up great in a slide, fits well, 2 inner pockets.

My next jacket will be another nexo.

anyone have their race boots?

I didn't like mine. It rode up on the back of the neck when I was on the bike, and because the back of the neck on the jacket was leather it chaffed.

My alpinestar fits better - the back of the neck has a stretchy material to prevent the problem I had with the nexo.

Good construction overall, price is right, just make sure you try it out on a bike.

I agree overall construction is very good also had that chaffing on the neck as well, i hope goes away as the jacket is broken in...........

It does, don't worry.

I have an NForce from Pannon and I love it. Great jacket. Excellent fit. I am in exactly same boat as another poster (6'3" and fairly slim build) so finding a jacket to fit well and still have long sleeves was very hard. Nexo had the European style (aimed more at slim fit).

i got a jacket boots and gloves all from pannon and all are nexo, the fit is great the boots are extremely comfortable. the price is even better

[LoneRonin]

does the nforce jacket have a spine protecting padding?

[kellen]

I have one, the quality seems ok but as someone else mentioned the fit seems a little off. However due to the boots being absolute garbage and nexo refusing to hear anything of it I will not spend a cent with them again.

I've got a Nexo Cobra, crashed, rolled/slid on the ground, not a mark on it, the leather seems really tough.

Had the same problem.
To solve the chaffing,i hammered it around the neck collar are to flatten it.

[SunnY S]

No, its got a silly piece of foam.

Chuck it, and get a real back protector.

Very happy with my Nforce. As others stated, its seems to be well made and durable. Great value for the money.

Yes, it does.

The new Cobra jackets come with that soft (forgot what it's called) material, like a gel, that kinda molds around your neck. I have the jackets in stock now.
