I bought my Cool Kevlar jacket in May of 2001. I wear it every day when it is hot. After 9 years of washing and sweat, it still looks pretty good. (The YKK zipper pull broke a few years back, and minor fraying along the opening for the shoulder armor - that's it.) Can't wait to get my new Ultra CK and Power Jeans! Ken JOnes

I purchased the cool mesh summer jacket last yeay(2009) after previously having a ultra cool k summer jacket(2000). The new jacket now has a back protector and is still very comfortable especially in summer in Sydney.the black/purple colour is very stylish and also very conspicuous which is a good thing. keep up the good work Michael Cav

just ordered so will let you know, how long it lasts

have just received the cool pants 2 and they are great.Very comfortable and look like normal jeans. The strap for the knee armour is a great idea and keeps it in place. Hot and humid day today and wearing the cool pants and the rain pants was a bit damp from sweat but leathers would have been worse. Looking forward to wearing them when its not raining. Nothing is comfortable when its hot humid and raining. You are almost wetter from sweat than the rain! I purchased a cool jacket in 2001 and it is still going strong.The best jacket I have worn in summer . Better than textile and leather jackets. Like others have stated I also havent tested the anti abrasive properties of the gear and I am happy for it to stay that wayt Thanks again for all your help and prompt replies.Package arrived yesterday the 31/1/08 after being sent on the 24th which is only a week:fantastic. I have also recommended your gear to all my motorcycling friends. I first heard about you through an ad in The Australian Motorcycle News(AMCN) BACK IN 2001, but I havent seen any ads locally for BROSH for quite a while Keep up the good work Michael Cav.(Sydney Australia)

A slight delay in order fulfillment, but shipping was fast for an overseas order. Arrived just in time for me to get my license an start riding ! Great colors and fit! I bought due to the testimonials of crashes where skin and bones were saved.

Hello,

I've been well and have enjoyed the summer jacket. 
I've been very pleased with the ventilation and comfort as well as the security of the kevlar and armor.
Thanks for the follow-up and the birthday acknowledgement .

Best regards,

Dave Brown

Thanks to all at Brosh, received my order last friday, almost 2 weeks exactly as promised. (This in itself is remarkable, considering the Philippine postal system.) I do alot of off road on an old dual sports(Africa Twin) over here, so no doubt you'll be hearing from me again soon, well not too soon I hope. The jeans and armour are just "magic"! Deeply appreciated and many thanks again.

Great products an shipping to Hawaii

I have found the jacket to fold up nicely into a very nice compact bundle. It takes up little space in my back pack leaving room for the rest of my stuff. It is nice not to have to lug the jacket around. Though wearing or carrying it around has advantages, such as looking like a cool biker!

After wearing this jacket for only a month I had an opportunity to test it out.  While turning on a blind corner I was faced with a car coming from the other direction in my lane.  I locked the brakes, and instead of sliding I dumped the bike and landed (hard) with all of my weight and a significant amount of weight from my 300lb scooter on my left elbow.  I�m confident that if it wasn�t for my Ultra CK Sport jacket with the optional pads I would have shattered my elbow.  Unfortunately, my ultra cool pants hadn�t arrived yet, so I did end up with a slightly scraped knee.

I ordered my Power Jeans and Cool Pants on Wednesday, and I received them the following Monday. I wish I could get gear so quickly from some US based companies - kudos to your prompt shipping and the pants and jeans are very nice too.

I live in the Coachella Valley,  Southern Calif,  where Temps are 110 everyday from July thru Sept. so I bought a Brosh Sportex jacket three years ago.  I was really glad I had it on last summer when I hit the road for the first time in 40 years of riding.  A guy pulled out in front of me in a parking lot and I fell on my left arm and leg.  I really feel that my arm would have been broken without the armor based on what the jacket looked like after the accident.  I like the looks of the new C K Sport and plan to get one with the armor ASAP  Great price, great product  Thanks,    Jerry

Dear Brosh,

 

It took under two weeks for me to receive my Ultra Cool K summer jacket.  What a great looking jacket and beautifully made with quality work evident in every way.  It has been very hot and humid here in Philadelphia, Pa. USA.  The Brosh jacket has made it possible to ride my motorcycle on 90 degree plus days and not feel like I am being roasted when I must stop for a red light.  I like being seen by motorists when I ride so the light gray color aids in my conspicuity.  Thanks for a product that is worth every penny I spent.

Thank you very much for my second order of Power Jeans.  They are fantastic, and of great quality.  Your site should be highly recomended, as your service and delivery are exceptional.  It seems quicker for a package to arrive from overseas than from within Australia.  Keep up the great work.

Thanks

Good day! I web-ordered a pair of Cool Pants and Power Jeans and was absolutely amazed at the quick delivery!
The Power Jeans are especially impressive, as I have equipped them with the T-Pro knee armor. Now, I can ride in jeans and be well protected. 
The Power Jeans are a better deal than similar products on the market, and have faster U.S. delivery than domestic made items! I am looking forward to purchasing an Ultra Cool K Sport jacket. 
Thank you for great products.

Attached is a picture of the Brosh coat, which in all probability saved my shoulder from being seriously hurt in a recent motorcycle/car accident I was involved in. I was returning to work during my lunch break and was proceeding through an intersection when a car made a left hand turn in front of me. I had a choice of hitting the side of the car and being thrown into or over the top of the car or laying the bike down and sliding into it (which I did). I slid approximately 50 feet on my right side, with my right boot, right shoulder of the coat and helmet taking most of the impact and abrasion from the slide. Other than being very sore (and scared) I didn't receive a scratch! I don't even want to think what my shoulder would look like if I had not had on my Brosh coat. Thank You! This coat saved me from very serious injury. I didn't receive a scratch! Keep doing what your doing, it works! Sincerely, Bob Schick Cheyenne, WY USA

Just bought our third Brosh jacket and am well pleased with this on as we were the others. Will be buying a 4th soon. Thank you for a wonderful product. Haven't tested its protection ability, thank God, but am extremely confident it will do just fine. Bill Hall

The Ultra CK jacket arrived most promptly and I've now had occasion to use it four times. This is a wonderful product and I've already been asked twice, "Where did you get that?". Needless to say, I tell them. Thank you for working with me on getting this.

I recently purchased an Ultra-CK jacket with full armor and pants. I was a little nervous with the idea of ordering clothes without trying them on. I sent Brosh and e-mail and they helped me decide on the proper size and fit for my build. My jacket arrived only a few days after I ordered it. I used it to pick up a motorcycle in Orlando on a 500 mile ride in the summer heat when it was 90 plus degrees. I am very happy with the product and service. I am presently waiting on a pair of cool pants that I ordered one size bigger to wear as summer overpants on my commute to work. Thanks for the great product and great service. Curtis

I have just ordered a pair of Power Jeans and having read the other reviews on this site I can not wait for them to arrive. I will write again after a full test! If they are as good as I antisipate I will order another pair. Cookie (UK)

We are a small Honda GoLdwing riders club based in the UK. Elite-wings. We have used Brosh for their Ultra Cool Jackets and Pants, and we have to say they are "Tops" the postal sevice EMS must stand for exterodinary mail service because I have never known anything as fast! We would recomend Brosh and their pruducts/services to anyone. Good Luck Orly and Gang we at elite wings think you are great. www.elite-wings.co.uk Big Derek

I have placed two orders so far. Great service. Great products. Fast delivery to the US. Thanks, Louis

Here is Florida it is 95+ most afternoons, and your jacket is lighter and cooler than the Joe Rocket mesh jacket that I have. I haven't worn the Joe Rocket since I got my Brosh-Tex. My wife just started riding and we have just ordered her a jacket, along with the riding pants for each of us. I'll bet the pants are lighter and cooler than jeans.

Every email that I have sent has been answered right away and you have made me feel like I am the only customer that you have, even though with your gear and prices I know that this is NOT true. Thank you! You guys (especially my new friend Orlie) are the best that I have dealt with, your responsive, courteous, and prompt, plus you make great gear. What's the matter with you guys? :-) You're giving all of the other businesses look bad. Keep up the great work!!!

I recently purchased a bike cover. I like it very much. I would like to point out that the cover has heat resistant material on the exhaust side of the bike. This feature is not noted in the web site description of the cover. Inclusion of heat resistant material was unexpected at this price. The cover is an excellent value.

Greetings, Anybody know the inseam for a large, 32-34? I like to know if they'll be long enough for my 6'1'' height. Thank you, swoodworks@jps.net

I know this is out-of-season for most of us, but I just recieved a mesh jacket from Brosh, inc. (www.brosh.com), and I am so impressed, I just had to spread the word. I bought their Ultra Cool K jacket online. When it arrived, the sizing was WAAAAY off. I sent an e-mail asking if there was any way to modify the jacket, as I was impressed by the quality and materials. I got an answer from Vicki, who asked that I send a dress shirt that fits well, and they will CUSTOM make the jacket using the shirt as a model. After several other e-mails back and forth, keeping me up to date on progress, I got the jacket, and it seems great! A full report will have to wait for warmer weather, but my guess is that it will be excellent. There are velcro straps everywhere to prevent flapping, and create perfect fit, there are zippered vents, pockets and available armor, and the material is a mesh made of Kevlar. The workmanship is excellent, and I cannot say enough about t! he customer service they provided. Prices are reasonable, as well. Anyone in the market should take a look at their website. I don't think you will be disappointed. As usual, all disclaimers apply, no affilliation, no personal gain, etc. YMMV

Hi Vicki, I made a 200 mile ride with temps between 63 F and 94 F and the jacket worked great. This is a quality jacket and I would recommend it to any one who rides and needs comfort and protection. I am very please with the Brosh product and quality. Sincerely, Jerry .F, Nevada USA

Just a word to let you know I have been riding with my Ultra Cool Brosh Jacket for a few weeks now and it has brought out some extra riding in me during the hot days of August here in Iowa. The jacket feels comfortable when your moving or standing. Even the day I received my credit card bill with the charge on it from Brosh brought a smile to my face because it was money well spent. Thanks for offering a jacket that fits, has some of the features I demand in my motorcycle gear, and at a price that is affordable. Thanks Again, Michael C. P.S. As a Customer Service Trainer I can say I received good service and a good value while doing business with you via your webpage.

I posted the following message to both the Honda PC800 and BMW K1200LT Yahoo! groups after my July ride. A while ago, there was an active discussion on summer weight riding clothes. I was considering Brosh gear as I found my Aerostich/Joe Rocket combo too darned hot in 90+ weather and was planning a trip to Alabama. Not much info was available on Brosh, but I intended to report back if I purchased and used the gear. I did, and I'm happy! I couldn't think of a more customer centered company as well as having some ideal products. I ordered a pair of their Kevlar Power Jeans and a Cool K Summer Jacket with pads. The products were shipped from TelAviv to Indiana, arrived very quickly and the company e-Mailed status to me along with their personal desire to see me satisfied including complete instructions for return or exchange. The jacket was perfect, but the jeans were way too large. Vicki, the rep I dealt with exclusively said that the euro sizes ran small, so she sent me the equivalent size 36US as I thought a 34 would be my size. Since I was short on time for my trip, I asked if I could send the jeans back for a smaller size and if they would let them cross in the mail. Vicki said that would be fine and they would even refund my postage costs for the return shipment. They were as good as their word and did all they said they would. Great service!! Now, what about the clothing? The new jeans are still a bit larger than I would purchase and I will know to order two sizes smaller than I normally wear in the future. The jeans are generously cut for comfort and the legs are long enough that they don't ride up over my boots. They are cut from heavy denim and have Kevlar pads velcroed into the hip area on both sides and Kevlar knee protection sewn into both legs that go from above the knee to over the shin. The knee pads have velcro tops that open for armor pads and velcro inside to secure small pads, if needed. I used the pads from an older pair of Motoport pants and they fit fine. At $49.00, they seem to be a really great value, especially compared to Draggin' jeans at $80. The Cool K jacket is very light weight and almost feels fragile at first, until I remembered it is Kevlar reinforced and a poly-cotton material. Seems plenty tough after a long ride. I'd recommend purchase of the optional armor pads as the pockets are cut to fit and they don't flap around. There is also a pouch and velcro for back armor that looks like it would take my Aerostich stuff without any modification, but I haven't put it in yet. There are sleeve, underarm, and back vents to let the air flow and plenty of adjusting straps to get the fit you want. I was quite comfortable in 90+ weather and the material dries pretty quickly after a shower. I found that putting the jacket on over a wet shirt when the temperature got over 100 on one day was a good way to stay cool as the jacket slowed the evaporation from the shirt a bit and I only needed to re-wet about every two hours. The only oddity is the reversed Euro zipper, but that took all of 30 seconds to master. YMMV, but I am quite pleased with what I bought. I don't intend to give you a performance report on the ability to prevent road rash and cushion pavement bumps as I believe an ounce of prevention . . . But, I'd like to hear testimonial from anyone who has had the misfortune of getting off at other than a full stop and was wearing Brosh Tech clothing at the time.

Dear Sir, Yesterday I received an Ultra Cool jacket with elbow/shoulder armor and a back protector. I went for a ride yesterday and it was quite warm here at 34C. Your product performed well and I was just as cool as I would have been in a tee shirt. I was impressed with the quality of workmanship and the prompt shipping. Thanks. Robet H. Groveport, Ohio

First Impressions: For hot weather riding, this is the coolest and most comfortable jacket that I have ever worn. Plus, with the armor installed, one of the most protective. The collar is something that nobody else does right. It is strong enough to stay in place and protect your neck, but light enough not to be hot. Other collars that flap around on your neck in an effort to provide airflow are very irritating, and leave your neck unprotected for whatever to hit it. Great attention to this detail. The only nit that I can find is with the pleates for the zippers at the wrist openings. When wearing the jacket, those pleats just hang open, which kind of defeats the purpose of having them. But that nit is a very small thing compared to everything that I've found right with the jacket so far. Thanks a bunch!

Dear Brosh Tech, The accident happened when a car pulled out in front of us from a side street. I was able to stop the bike prior to hitting the car, but we were thrown off the bike and skidded on the pavement for approx. 20 feet. The jackets were torn on the shoulder and elbow area. The Kevlar did not give way and so, no road rash for us. The jackets worked as we expected and saved our skin in various areas. Thanks! We ordered the replacement jackets due to our confidence caused by our accident. We did upgrade to your newest cool jacket. We were tempted to try Joe Rocket Phoenix or First Gear Mesh Tex but decided not to change due to our good result during our accident. Gary& Stephanie Michigan

Wanted to order some Cool Pants in Grey Size XL but not available? Is that correct? Very happy with my Cool K Jacket and just ordered annother one for my wife. I'll be writing an article about the Cool K jacket for the Honda Sport Touring Club Newsletter and the CBX Club newsletter.

Hi,i tried to order the Cool K online but somehow it nvr prompt mi for my credit card no,so i emptied the cart. Will the company still charge mi? I think i'm a member but somehow forget abt my user ID/password.So how do i go abt to order 1? Looking forward to your reply. Thx Rgds, Adam

I am interested in the Cool K jacket and would like to know if it might be large enough for me - I have a 48 inch waist, and a 30 inch inseam. I ride a Ducati, and like my jacket to be a little loose. I look forward to hearing from you. Randy Tentschert usctrojaninco@mindspring.com

Dear Brosh-Tech, I just want to say thank-you. I received my Cool-K jacket, order I.D. # 10226 and I am very pleased with the style, fit and comfort. I will be sure to get much use from it and will tell everyone who admires it (as several have already) where they can purchase their own. Thanks again for your great product! :-) Gary Gailor

We are so impressed with our Brosh Ultra Cool K/CoolMax jackets -- it has only been 90+ degrees here (we will be 100 degrees and warmer soon!); even 2-up,in "stop and go" city traffic, we are very comfortable (and protected). Thanks for your great email help, wonderful internet service, and efficient shipping. E.F, Austin,Texas.

Hi! I received my jacket today in Tucson, AZ USA and put it on for a ride. It was 106 degrees out and I absolutely felt comfortable! Of course the armor added a bit of sweat but it was very tolerable. I am so happy I chose this coat over the current fashion here in Tucson of Joe Rocket jackets such as the Phoenix. I have the blue and grey jacket and it so much better than the predominently black Joe Rocket jackets( what were they thinking?) I am going to show all my cruising buddies this coat and generate some sales for you! Thanks again Vicki for the service and I would like to add that all the reviews I have read are right on the money concerning your service, price and selection. I can't believe how fast you shipped this item. It left on 5-24 and I received it 5-30-02.Wow! You people are super and I will highly recommend this to anyone I see! Thank you for making a bearable safe armored jacket for us desert dwellers! You are welcome to use this for your advertising in any way you like! Sincerely, Steve B. Tucson

Hi, Just a note to let you know that the Ultra Cool K jackets I recently ordered for my wife and I work great! Had a four day trip through south and central Texas, an area which gets rather warm, this past weekend. Your jackets worked very good at keeping us comfortable, you have a great product which I will be happy to recommend. Please thank Vicki for her help, she was right on with the sizes. Thanks Walt Neller

heard some good things about your jacets . is it true you intend to come out with a more ventilated jacket ?

I have been useing this jacket in louisisan for 2 years, washed a couple of times, great for the humid climate we have here, comfortable and reasonally priced, I love my summer jacket.

humid months here in Seattle. It has made all the difference in the world. Full face helmet, Kevlar�/carbon fiber gloves, riding boots and the jacket. I was covered and did not die from heat stroke. Great product. Good quality. Good price. Good service

Your Summer Jacket looks like just what I need for the hot Georgia weather. I'd really like to see more detailed information. The price seems to good to be true!

Just received our jackets today. Wow! They are great!! We really appreciate such good service and high quality. Thanks!!

I am using the jacket for two Y. All you need to become a beleaver is one "small fall" ( which I had) & the thought of how would it end without the jacket...

i just got a foam back for my summer jacket, i was very happy to discover that not only it wasn't hoter with it, but because it kept the jakcet in form there was a lot more air intake then befor and at the same time it didn't blow up like a baloon and add drag at 100 kmh (60 mph)

I bought a cool kevlar summer jacket last summer. I live in Oklahoma, and it regularly gets over 100 degrees F here in late summer and early fall. Most riders end up with short sleves to avoid the hear. But, the kool kevlar jacket is perfect. Good protection without the heat and sweat. My only complaint is that the zipper pull is on the opposite side from the side US garments usually have the zipper pull on. So instead of zipping with my right hand, I zip with my left hand. Frankly, it's no big deal, though, I think the cool kevlar jacket is great.

What a great idea! I wonder how many Australian hides would still be in one piece if they could only catch on here. Still far too many thongs, shorts and T shirts, minus gloves for my liking.

Dear Sirs and Ladies, I had a lowside crash at about 65 mph on a left curve earlier this week. I am grateful I was wearing my armored summer jacket. It performed very well and saved me from serious injury. Thankyou for producing this fine product. My order for a new jacket will be placed within a few days. Gordon Langabee U.S.A.

Last November, 2000, I ordered a Cool Kevlar Jacket from you. The transaction went flawlessly. Since that time I have worn my jacket everytime I ride. Hot, cold it does not matter. The way the jacket vents and openings are placed (with velcro closures)you can fit the jacket to you and the weather. The jacket has been washed many times and it held up very well. Last week, I had my first incident in my 20 years if riding. I laid my bike down on a dirt road. A person stepped out from between some parked cars on the side of the road right in front of me. I had to lay down my 750 Yamaha to keep from hitting him. I fell hitting my left arm and back. The Kevlar placement was exactly where I landed. Landing on small rocks on a dirt road could have hurt me very badly. I had a small scratch to the jacket. The bike was not so lucky. The crash split my windshield, tore off a mirror, cracked a side cover, and took off the back turn signal. I wish I could buy a jacket for my motorcycle. If only the jacket had protected my motorcycle like it protected me. So, today I ordered a jacket for my son. His birthday is this Saturday and this is an additional gift for him. Thank you. Your product is excellent. You should advertise more in the United States. You could sell a lot of jackets at Bike Week and Biktoberfest in Daytona, FL. Stan Echols, Brandon, FL
