Has anybody used speed and strength gear? I have been looking at some of their jackets and I think I like them.

From what I've seen its pretty nice gear.
We picked up the line at my dealership and customers have liked it.
What are you checking out in particular? i might have seen it in person.
The hell and back jacket is pretty spiffy for sure.

Tucker Rocky is the distributor on SS and they brought on one of the former head designers from Joe Rocket to help, I like.

how are the womens "cross my heart" pants and jacket? my wife was look at their gear and liked the style. does the pants have the knee and hip armor?

Does anyone else make women specific cut jacket and pants that are mesh with removable rain liner and insulation, armored and are not totaly black?

The bike shops around here only carry stuff that matches the bikes they sell and are covered in advertisement.

This is my opinion, but it looks an awful lot like icon's gear.

Maybe they are using Icon's chinese manufacture?

Hey Bryan I saw your post and wanted to check further so I contacted them I got 2 guys form the SS gear talking to me on e-mail. Another resaon why I contacted them is to see if they offer MSF instructor discounts to instructors and I found out they do. Below is the response from Bruce Parker

Hi Kathleen,
Thanks for your inquiry into Speed and Strength.
While the SS brand is new to the motorcycle market place, I have a long history in the design, manufacturing and marketing in the motorcycle apparel business..... www.parkersynergies.com I have worked with virtually every OEM supplier from Honda to Harley, sponsored racers from World Champion Nicky Hayden to World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson and worked with the Canada Safety Council "Learn to Ride" program.
We do not sell consumer direct but I can put you in touch with one of our best Dealers, Sportbike Track Gear who I'm certain would come up with a special price for you.
Please let me know if you need any other information.

Best regards,

Bruce

babired,

That is a pretty impressive response. I did look into their gear pretty heavily. Some in a store the rest online. I do like some of their jackets. I did however just purchase a Buell Adventure Jacket so I am not in the market at this time. Maybe next fall though I will spring for a "hell and back" jacket. They really seemed to have a lot of thought in the jackets. I was unaware that they were so new and was just wondering if someone on here had actually used them. Seems like a good company though and will probably get some of my business at some point.

Joe Rocket also make womens gear that's got your list of requirements and that's not all black, seems like I saw light blue, pinks and purples when I was shopping for a jacket for my wife.

Thanks bhillberg I was curious and I always try to get the most for my money. There was another guy who was e-mailing me at the same time from the same company and he said if anybody was interested for a group buy they would work out a deal. I would have to look at the gear because they do look a little bit like ICON and when ICON came into business, I did the same and found out I could purchase their gear half off retail price on all gear with special pricing on helmets. Since then the ICON company has stopped the great discounts and I sold all of the gear I bought. I like the aerostitch and Olympia gear, more functional and higher quality. I love my Vansen leathers.
