Sportvue MC1 Motorcycle Helmet Heads Up Display
SportVue Heads-Up Display Review Technology is a wonderful thing. As long as the early adopters get the bugs worked out so that the rest of us can focus on the added value, rather than fussing to work out the problems.

Scorpion EXO-700 Review
Scorpion EXO-700 Arrives One hundred and sixty bucks is the “sweet spot” of motorcycle helmet retail pricing. Based on our observations of motorcycle helmet purchases, that price is very competitive and is near the maximum amount that many riders want to pay for a new helmet.

Gerbings Heated Jacket Liner
Gerbings Heated Jacket Liner This review has been updated since it was originally posted.

BMW AirVantage Insulating Vest Review
Let the Air Do the Insulating Thin, lightweight and well made. Vest can be inflated via a tube and uses air to act as an insulator. It works, but it’s expensive. We’re probably too late with our review of the BMW AirVantage vest. It was released by BMW some time ago, and it’s an interesting …

Cat Crap Anti-Fog Review
Cat Crap: What’s In A Name? Cat Crap is a wax-like anti-fog treatment for the inside of goggles or visors. It can be applied with a fingertip. Rub a tiny bit on to the inside of a helmet visor and buff it out, just like applying an automotive polish. Cat Crap seems to work well …
Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket Review
Joe Rocket Phoenix Review I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one of the mysteries of motorcycling is why does it seem easier to dress for cold weather than warm? Most motorcycle clothing is heavy, bulky, windproof and water resistant. It seems designed …
