APRIL
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER EXCLUSIVES by Geoffrey Bonfield
With
autumn now here and winter on us sooner than we want, now is the right time to
be looking at getting a new (or replacing) Winter Waterproof Jacket. For April
BGW have chosen two Men’s and two Ladies Waterproof jackets from the Joe
Rocket range for this month’s special. All with FREE SHIPPING.
Joe
Rocket Ballistic 7.0 Textile Jacket
The Ballistic 7.0 is Joe Rockets
flagship Winter Waterproof Jacket. It is a ¾ length Touring Jacket made
from a Heavy Duty 630 Hitena® twill nylon, meaning it is very tough and tear
resistant. It is a 100% WATERPROOF jacket with a removable insulated full sleeve
liner. C.E approved removable armour in the shoulders and elbows and a High density
foam pad in the back provides additional protection. The Sure Fit™ adjustable
waistband and adjustable sleeve positions ensure the perfect fit, no matter what
shape you are. Built in belt loops also allow you to attach it to your belt for
extra security and prevent the jacket riding up in the tuck position.
The
cut is nice and fitting without being too bulky and is very light weight for a
fully waterproof winter grade jacket. The styling is modern without being too
flashy. The Grey stripes down the side of the torso are Reflective stripes are
very visible in both the day and night. We get many comments that the jacket is
very Euro looking and reminiscent of top European brands and Enduro Jackets.
A
key feature of the Ballistic 7.0 Jacket is the Variable Flow™ Ventilation
System and Cross Linked Ventilation™ with Wind Tunnel Cooling. This innovative
feature allows you to quickly open up the ventilation panels of the jacket to
allow maximum air flow. The vents are hidden behind laser cut seams and waterproof
zippers on the chest, and when opened can be connected together to provide a panels
that are always opened in the widest position, to allow maximum airflow when the
weather turns warmer.
The external pockets use rubber coated zippers and
the all the seams of the jacket are laser cut to ensure perfect alignment and
reduce microscopic spaces where water can seep in. A large pocket is also located
on the back that is perfect for gloves or a pair of nylon rain pants.

Joe
Rocket Meteor 6.0 Textile Jacket
The
Joe Rocket Meteor 6.0 Jacket is very similar to the Ballistic 7.0 Jacket, but
is a waist length Jacket rather than ¾. It features many of the same features
of the Ballistic 7.0, but is a slightly lighter, sportier cut jacket.
Made
from the same Heavy Duty 630 Hitena® twill Nylon, it is also 100% WATERPROOF
and has the removable insulated full sleeve liner. C.E armour is also fitted to
the shoulders and elbows and is removable. The elbow armour is unique and there
are two externally accessible pockets that allow the C.E armour to be best positioned
depending on your arm length.
The Meteor 6.0 also features Joe Rocket’s
patented Sure Fit ™ system, with adjustable waist, sleeves and wrist closures
making it easy to get the correct fit. The same Variable Flow™ ventilation
and Cross Linked Ventilation™ system used on the Ballistic 7.0 ensures maximum
air flow and cooling for when the weather turns warm, and makes the Meteor a good
all year jacket.
How waterproof is the Meteor 6.0? Well recently some “volunteers”
tested the effectiveness of this the best way possible, by subjecting the jacket
to a Jet Stream Car Wash. The jacket was tested with one set of zippers fully
closed, and the other side had the secondary zipper totally open. "We
brought the pressure washer really close to get some extreme force behind the
rain hitting the zippers. At one point the force began to unzip the zipper
slider as we were so close”

Joe
Rocket Ladies Ballistic 7.0 Textile Jacket
The Ladies Ballistic
7.0 is a perfect blend of high fashion matched with high function. It is a perfect
¾ Touring or day to day jacket. Constructed from heavy duty HITENA 630™
twill nylon that is durable and also100% WATERPROOF to keep out the elements.
This jacket contains the most advanced ventilation technology available to keep
you comfortable, the Joe Rocket Cross Linked Ventilation™ with Wind Tunnel
Cooling and offers great protection thanks to the removable spine pad and C.E.
RATED protectors in the shoulders and elbows.
The fully insulated full
sleeve liner is also removable as the weather turns warm and the Variable Flow™
ventilation system in the arms and back promotes air flow.
The cut of the
jacket is nicely fitted and not bulky and heavy. It is a specific Ladies cut and
has all the right curves. The Sure Fit™ adjustable waistband, sleeve adjusters
and three adjustable back straps ensure an even better fit for Ladies. The detailed
graphics on the Ballistic are a work of art, featuring detailed embroidery on
the lower and upper right shoulder. Reflective piping helps increase visibility
at night. rrpA$399

Joe
Rocket Ladies Luna 2.0 Textile Jacket
The Luna 2.0 jacket is the
successor to the very popular Luna jacket, and adds a whole lot of new features
and 100% WATERPROOF. Made from Rock Tex™ 600 grade nylon, it is tough but
very lightweight. The Luna 2.0 is a slightly more of a sport riding jacket that
also incorporates the patent pending ‘BIG AIR™’ ventilation system.
The Big Air™ system is a new innovative design from Joe Rocket that
allows the Luna 2.0 to become a mesh style jacket down the centre, without having
to remove panels and liner. Simply open the jackets main zipper, and move the
zippers to a secondary runner. This opens up a wide Free Air™ mesh panel
that allows full ventilation. Combined with the removable insulated vest liner,
you can make the Luna 2.0 into a very effective summer jacket. The Luna 2.0 jacket
is a great all year round jacket that looks great. rrpA$279
