I bought the Alpinestars Halo jacket about one month ago after doing A LOT of research to find a touring / ADV touring jacket I would like. Already used it in a weekend trip and I love it.
Now that I know that Ryan loves it and bought it too I can die in peace knowing that I made the right choice

He explains three products in 6 minutes so comprehensive, that no matter how many words one can squeeze in the two seconds before „decide and ride“, it will take an hour of presentation to achieve the same.

I'd love to see some more of the "old school" experiments. Like grinding the jackets with a sanding machine

[brodieboy]

I was just thinking the other day that we could do with some more up-to-date product reviews. Good to see Ryan has added mind reading to his impressive list of skills.

I love how fine tuned into it's audience this channel is with the smaller fine detail jokes, but without actually needing to address either.

All faith and professionalism :)

At this point I'm very very glad to see this team post a video every 2 weeks!

The previous one month wait was like 1 year wait --- this tells how good every single video is.

You know when you get someone so far ahead of everyone else in their selected field of interest and expertise? That’s Ryan and the team. Absolutely leagues above anyone else and it’s not even close. I rarely comment on videos but would feel rude watching such a masterpiece for free and not at least saying Thankyou.

[davida]

Your dialog/humor is so top notch. Great review guys!!!

[michellebud]

I laughed. I cried. I learned something. There was story and flow. What a journey, superceeded only by the "character selection" segment at the end. Your videos are wonderful; I keep coming back for more!

One of the best all-time reviews on YT. 6 minutes for 3 items with facts and humor. I was educated and entertained 🙏

[benb]

Amazing review, You have combined a stand up comedy act With a detailed comprehensive product review Over the years you have continued to raise the bar with each video Using A barrage of creativity This was no exception I have found myself wanting to investigate the number 2 jacket and see if it comes in different colorways Thanks man very entertaining Feel like I need to watch it again to make sure I got all the jokes!

[MrsValSyharath]

The change up at the end taking me back to arcade Tekken & MK was the icing on the cake. Keep killing it Ryan!

There was a jacket made years ago from FirstGear which was effectively plastic chain mail. I personally crashed it on gravel at 55mph and was more than impressed with its durability having not worn through. It is also a giant vent since it is chain mail so it is very cool for the summer. I am not sure why they do not make jackets like that anymore.

best of 2022 series is here lets fucking go

Watch to the end!
The editing and 8-bit themed music *chef's* *kiss*

[DeusRides]

The Rev'it has been in my line of sight for a while, nice to see a review of it. It increased my interest. The Alpinestars is so weird that it seems like a good idea. I'm gonna try to see one in person to get a feel of it. The Icon, I have the same system in 2 Held jackets that I've owned for a few years now. Love the video! Cheers.

[Bullyveldt]

I loved the 80 video game music and jumping style changes at the end lol!

[emmettturner]

Thanks for bringing the special gear stuff to our attention where the unique features would’ve otherwise flown under the radar. I know it kinda works against a gear retailer, but I’d love to see a video specifically for discontinued gear that’s worth seeking out for one reason or another.

[ironized]

Imagine having literally one job, and having this much disdain for doing it. (This is a youtube channel for a retailer after all)

I appreciate both Ryan for his work and FortNine for giving him as long of a leash as they have and not forcing unnecessary product review content. Now if only they'd expand to Australia.
