    Kobe or Joe Rocket leathers? Please vote!

    I'm trying to choose a new mid-priced line of one piece suits to carry. Contemplating Joe Rocket vrs. Kobe. Marrietta posts excellent contingency on their Kobe suits. I'm wondering if that would sway racers to purchase Kobe. I saw the Kobe suits at the Indy show. The $799.00 suit was pretty darn nice. Websites are:
    www.888fastlap.com and www.joerocket.com
    Your input would be most appreciated. Audrey

    I'd go for Kobe. I have a set and like them. Of course, they are the first and only set I've ever owned so I don't have much to compare to. I'm not a very big Joe Rocket fan. I guess it's mainly the name, though.

    The Kobe contingency is quite nice. It only pays a maximum of $75 per race weekend, though. But it is good for ANY product that Marietta Motorsports, AKA 1888fastlap, sells (which is just about anything you can think of). I currently purchase all my parts through Marietta Motorsports and have been quite pleased. I ordered a brake lever a while back and needed it 2nd day aired to have it for a race. When I called to check its status (the next day), they told me it had been shipped std. ground. When I asked them what they expected me to do for the race now, they said they would ship one out for Saturday delivery (it was a Friday when I called). I received it Saturday before noon, and they didn't even charge me for the lever (or the shipping, or course). They also have a discount program for racers. It's all on their website.

    Anyway, go with Kobe, forget Joe Rocket.

    Don't forget that Motoliberty supports the CMRA folks pretty darn well. After all, Audrey is asking which suit you want her to stock.

    It's also pretty nice having a vendor at the track.

    I've been looking at the Kobe suits but I'm hard to fit off the rack. I do have the Kobe gloves and they are the _ _ _ _...quite nice. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

    Crashworthy too might add.

    Audrey, you should post a Poll on this. I think you will get more responses.
    Cheers,
