I'm heading down Saturday to pick out mine (I think I'll get Stiletto, but also looking at She Devil), so I'll let you know how it looks in person if they have that one in stock (I'll try to sneak some pics of it if I can). :dthumb:
Cute new Ladies gear from Power Trip
A couple weeks ago, I saw an ad for a new jacket by Power Trip in 2 Wheel Tuner. I fell in love with it, and searched everywhere and couldn't find it anywhere. As of today, they've finally updated their site with the new designs.
Previously, it seemed Power Trip catered more to the cruiser/Harley market, and didn't have much in the way of cute/younger designs... but they've really come up with some cute stuff... feminine designs in black, white and red (minimal pink and no baby blue). All in all, there's 5 new jacket styles for '06.
Though I haven't seen any of them in person yet, the silouhettes look to be a bit longer/leaner, so they'll have good lower-back coverage; most seem to have CE protectors, and those little things that look like garters danging off them? Nuh uh... those are straps to loop around your belt to keep your jacket down when you ride (or God forbid, if you were to go sliding).
"Stiletto" is on my MUST BUY list (in the black/red).... "She Devil" is also nice (same design, but in leather).
Check it out!

That is a nice looking line of jackets, I'm currently in the poor house so new gear is a long way off for me
Ok, so we get to Helmet Shop, and *pout* my Stiletto accidentally got sold (they had gotten TWO shipments in last week, but being bike week, they FLEW through the new stuff).
Did try on the She Devil..... :drool Awesome jacket. Construction seemed very sturdy, fit was perfect, and the details are so cute!! She Devil (the textile) comes with a quilted nylon vest liner (zip out), while Stiletto (mesh) comes with a lightweight (like a windbreaker) liner.
They also had Vamp, and some of the new men's styles.... all of them were really sharp looking, and felt well-armoured.
We took some pics in She Devil, and I'll take some more in Stiletto after it gets here Thursday (they're shipping it to me for free due to the error, and I got a couple ball caps out of the deal :citadel).

It was here when I got home last night! YAY!!
First things first, I LOVE it. It's wonderful.... VERY well made, and just feels more substantial than my Joe Rocket Pheonix (which, coincidentally, I gave away to a friend's girlfriend last night, when I learned she wasn't wearing any "real" gear other than a helmet).
The armour in this thing is GREAT... the spine protector is every bit as thick/sturdy as the after-market one Chris bought for his Alpinestars jacket. It's literally about 3/4" to 1" thick, and HARD, but still flexible enough to be comfortable. The cuffs are lined with a soft fabric (like a brushed miscrosuede almost) and the collar is a rounded padded neoprene (very comfy!)
There are tons of adjustments at the waist and hip (elastic goring, an expansion zipper, and 3 rows of snaps) to get just the perfect fit.
My only complaint about it is it's not very long. It's about as long as the Joe Rocket Phoenix (and I'm probably spoiled by my Trixie, which has GREAT lower back coverage). BUT, I wasn't wearing a belt last night, so I didn't try out the belt "garters." It might well be better with that secured. I'll let ya'll know. :thumb
I wore it last night, with the liner in.... It was cool(ish) here (mid 50's on our way home, and a little breezy at the beach), and I was plenty comfortable with the liner in. I thought it would only be a vest liner, but it's a full long sleeved liner, with lots of snaps/secure points, so it doesn't feel all bunchy under the jacket.
I got MORE compliments on that jacket last night at bike night, though... everyone (guys, too) just loves it (and were all impressed it's as protective as it is cute!)
