If you want to wreck yourself by all means please do, but with a kid???!! I'd slap that dude senseless. No excuse for that carelessness
With the Asian leathers you get a mixture of good and bad, I had a Yamaha factory branded race rep jacket that was a real tough piece, made in Pakistan. Then I saw the same thing on a stall at a bike show, sold by a general vendor that was just as pretty but did not even look like it would take a minor spill. But with these things, like all our Aero and Eastman etc lovers out there we can't all afford the top quality and its either what you can afford or simply no hobby.
As for the Power Ranger moniker, I know this is meant as an insult from our vintage jacket loving friends but I tend to embrace it and use it to describe my modern gear. I am a bit like a woman with bags and shoes, but with me it is jackets and trousers etc when it describes bike gear.
As for Abbreviations, I know a few, there are far too many in use though. I thought it was something like ATGNI, which is aimed mainly at the race rep crowd. All The Gear No Idea. Basically those that commute in full Rossi race rep stuff( or the Ewan and Charley types on their GSs)
Love biking in all it's themes.
Here's what they will be wearing this summer in Portugal.
Me, in Spain heading that way. Kevlar jeans, full mesh armoured jacket, no visor but industrial safety glasses, oh yes, and vented gloves not pictured.
