שלום חיים ברוש! וברוך הבא
אכן יש תמיד דיעות לכאן ולכאן. היו ביקורות על המעיל (מספר אנשים) אך באותה נשימה נטען כי "עדיף לרכב עם מעיל ואם אין לך 1000 ש"ח להשקיע במעיל שהוגדר כמומלץ יותר - קנה את הברוש". וזהו ללא ספק משפט חשוב. בנוסף היתה דיעה אחרת של מישהו שהמליץ על המעיל "למרות שצבעו דוהה עם הזמן וכו´" ואני מצרף ביקורת זאת לכאן שנרשמה על ידי tygger - הביקורת עדיין באנגלית, לא הספקתי לתרגמה עדיין. בגלל ריבוי הדיעות שנאמרות ללא תיעוד משמעותי, אשמח אם בעלי מעיל ברוש קייץ ירשמו את חוות דעתם בצורה מפורטת. כך שיתקבל קנה מידה השוואתי יחסית למעילים אחרים. חשוב במיוחד יהיה להתייחס להוכחות כי המעיל עושה את עבודתו המיגונית בהצלחה/ או לא! שאו ברכה ו"שנת רכיבה בטוחה" לכולם כמו שגם איחל חיים,
מיץ פטל Well, I hope i will answer you to the best that i can. --> I have the jacket for about a year and a half. it is still in the same color (blue/black). but it did fade. but only a little. The jacket comes with Kevlar reinforcement in the elbows and the shoulders. I added the Spidi protectants cause i like them more and they cost about the same as the Brosh ones. --> The problem with the "Shape" since the jacket is very light then it is like a shirt and it will get a little out of shape when not worn. I hardly consider that a problem cause once on and you get used to it then you can put it on in about 2 seconds and is sits very well. Of course you will have to adjust it for the first time. . . --> The fitting goes as follows : 1) Waist adjustment with two scotch straps that sit very well and put the jacket in good shape. 2) Scotch in the neck collar. Very good to keep the wind off. This is a little wide and you need to get familliar with it to close it right. => that problem can be solved on the spot with brosh and they can saw you the scotch a little wider. i did it by myself and i am very happy with it. Just one thing. Close the zipper first and you will have no problem with the Neck Collar scotch. 3) Scotch on the wrists : Works well, but I have a little problem there, since the arm openings seemed to be a little too narrow for me. This is just something you learn to live with and simply hold the sleeves while getting it off. NO DISCOMFORT! This is nothing that will bother you during the ride or even during the take off. (a little more pressure when putting it on. just a little) 4) The elbows have a scotch too. This locks the arm protectors in place. I really like this cause it puts the jacket right. You have to adjust the scotch once. Close but not too tight and it will work fine. 5) The bottom of the jacket has a rubber strap sawen in. this works well and prevents the wind coming from bellow and again puts the jacket in place so it will not move. The jacket scores a 8.5 here. very light and takes a little getting used too when riding with it at first. --> Ventilation : 1) Under the arms (pits) you have a net that is always open. Works very well during the hot days. 2) in the back there is a zipper across your shoulder blades that you can open or close. this will help the air to circulate around and keep you cool. This also keeps the jacket from becoming like a ballon when riding. 3) In the wrists you have also a zipper to open to vent your arms. In ventilation it gets a score of 8. the jacket is very comfy from the start of the ride. --> Price against cost: Hell, there is no other that will give even half of what it does for the same price!!! here it gets a 10!!! -> Protection: There is no place for a back protector in the jacket. You can wear one under or over it without any problem cause it is very thin. I usually wear one (Axo city belt) cause you feel kind of exposed on the back The rest of the protection is very good. Well, I had the luck of falliing off bike when a nice old man took a turn to the right from the left lane while inside a circle. (Stupid me, how come I didn´t know he needs a right?) the excuse was (by the way) that : "I am driving for 25 years!!!" hmm . . . He needed a paint job and a new mirror after that. (Maybe a valve bypass for the heart too, I hope!) Anyways. I simply rolled off on the side and well . . . the shoulder hit the road kind of hard but i didn´t feel it. the elbow was fine for the ride that came about 45 seconds later. and the jacket didn´t even tear open! --> Pockets : It has two pockets in the botton lower part of the front of the jacket. I took a CD in one of them today. It just fit in.
any thing else? Oh, yeah. Well, the fabric is rather good. 65% cotton and 35% polyester. Fully machine washable (that is a very important issue here!!!) Just take out the protectors and throw it in the washing machine. The Jacket is sawn very well. I have abused it for a year and a half now and it hasn´t opened a single stich. Well, the jacket will get a score of 8.5 if you ask me. It feels like a shirt at the begining so you will have to get used to it (about a week) but then you will defently like it. The speedy air is very good. Looks great and is very ventilated. but for some odd reason it feels hotter then the Brosh. The protectors sit the best i have ever had in a jacket!!! and there is a back protector for dragging (gel). I like it but the brosh is simply easier on me. Lighter and when i walk with it then i don´t feel like im choking. Remember to get one that is right to your size! Nothing bigger. Smaller is better here cause it will sit better with the protectors and will fit much better. Mine is a Medium. I am about 1.79 m tall and i weigh about 72 kilos. No belly so it fits very well. (Even if you do then it will strech when you close it. cause it has a rubber at the bottom)
