nklr-j. rocket ballistic pants vs cortech

[D.J. Rogers]

Hey, I just bought a Teknic Mach One (and convinced Dash so much he ordered one as well) and as far as quality and venting goes, it's first rate. I compared a lot of the lower priced gear because I'm on a budget. I don't know about Cortech because I've never seen any of it, but my Teknic jacket and pants are (in my own humble opinion) head and shoulders above JR Ballistic. The Teknic jacket and Sprint II pants both have full, zip out liners. The jacket has vents in the sleeves (as well as the body) that actually work really well at getting air moving through it. Air exits on the back at shoulder blade level. Excellent padding (plastic over foam)and a spine pad (stiff foam, no plastic). I live on Vancouver Island, BC, so I can't say what the gear will be like in hotter climates. Maybe ask Dash after he's had his for a while. I'm not sure what prices are like down there for the various brands, but I think the Mach One goes for around $200 US. Have a look at them at http://www.teknicgear.com/. They come in other colors not listed on the website. The Sprint Jacket is similar to the Mach One, but without the venting, and both are claimed waterproof/breathable. All I can say is that I'm very happy with mine. Cheers, D. GBG eh14
