Crash Test: Moto-net.com submits its equipment Segura to Rude Evidence!
December 18, 2018 will remain a date engraved in memory - and flesh!- Motorcycle.Com, following a beast falls on a "gramouilla" road (read the first episode of this mishap and its consequences).
That day, the Motorcycle Journal of the Net wore a Segura set (Holding Trophy group).We also recommend the july pants for its wide cut in the ankles allowing to put on good big boots and for its very effective hip and knee protection protections.
The Cassidy gloves, with a deliciously retro look, offer good back and flat protection of the hand, but beware of the thumb that is exposed to shocks!In our "low-side", the right thumb hit and then slipped on the bitumen.Assessment: Metacarpus 1 and small scar.
For its part, the Stripe jacket is very beautiful: its leather "buffalo" is very flexible, the mattress on the shoulders and very classy elbows, the double bands ("stripes") very stylish, the six very practical pockets, the complete liningVery hot and the whole smells very, very good!
Alas, several factors led us to a dirty surprise: cuffless gloves, soft jacket leather - and therefore more adherent than patina?-, button and clearance shield subjected to too high pressure, very grainy and abrasive bitumen made that the left sleeve went up along the forearm during the fall!
Assessment: a deep dermabrasion (abrasion of the skin) and weeks of care...A wound, literally and figuratively!Motorbike.Com obviously contacted Segura to entrust her with his "crash-test" equipment and ask him a few questions...Hello, can we talk to the after-drop service?
