i actually went to the store recently and checked it out. there's a wall of helmets and racks of streetz gear stuff. there's a couple of racks of tourmaster mesh jackets.
the streetz brand stuff range from full leather suit, sports, cruiser, helmets, gloves, rain gear(?). they do have bits and pieces of other things like hids, led accent lights, knives, boots, lubes etc. the gloves are crap in my opinion (no offense). helmet feels plastic-ey and cheapish (well considering the price, its fairly cheap).
about the jackets, i looked at the sports and cruiser, focusing mainly on the cruiser. sports come in diff colors. cruiser ones is just black.
leather-wise, the cruiser (dominator?) jacket feels heavier and thicker and all in all better than the sports one. both jackets comes with (supposedly) ce approved shoulder/elbow soft armour. also with a back soft foam padding (dont think it was ce approved). also, the cruiser jacket (supposedly) come with kevlar lined breathable material for the inner arm/pits/side area. there are some sewn in paddings on the collar bone, back, shoulder area. i think there's different thickness of leather used in these jackets, though the main parts feel thick/heavy. im not a leather expert but it makes me think twice though the leather looks pretty ok. it also comes with a cheapy detachable liner, then it's mesh inside. the cuffs are pretty tight though. probably designed so that the gloves go over them. if you look at the stock, you'd notice some inconsistencies (ie: seams, alignment, padding thickness, stitches etc) though this just might be me. theyre not that noticeable normally, but i went there for the purpose of 'checking' the jackets.
all in all, thinking about it, it's a good jacket for the price (200$), but then again, you get what you pay for. hopefully, it's actually a good deal and the jacket would hold and do its job.
when i asked the dude at the shop about the brand, he mentioned that, this brand was in the daytona motorcycle event down in florida. he thinks the jacket is made from india or pakistan. and the leather is between 1.1-1.3 racing grade (?). not much specific details to be given about the 'streetz brand' gear/company.
it would be nice to compare them side by side with other brands just for comparison's sake. brand is just a label for me, but some brands do have a reputation and their products speak for themselves.
im still considering getting the cruiser jacket. maybe next pay date.
btw, i said 'supposedly' since the label affixed on the jacket looks like one of those labels you'd find on knockoff brands like in chinatown or something (no offense).
disclaimer: these are my own opinions/observations.
