Jofama Lindstrands clothing
My boyfriend, who is new to biking, is wanting to get himself a Jofama Lindstrands Graffitti jacket. He lives in London, but as Forth Gear up here in Edinburgh are stockists, I have the jacket with me to take down for him to try on.
And I have to say, it feels rather flimsy. If it was for me personally I'd say it's also too fiddly, but of course that's his decision. What I'm not sure about though is a) how durable it would be - the main zip in particular feels very cheap, and b) how good it would be in a crash - not only does it feel extremely lightweight, there's also nothing on the labelling indicating what about the fabric makes it abrasion-resistant, indeed barely a mention that it is.
A quick look on the web and on the HUBB has found bits of info, most of which is a bit confusing as there appear to be 3 companies, Jofama, Lindstrands and Halvarssons, which always get mentioned in the same breath. But nothing gives any info about the level of protection for anything other than the Safety Suit.
Has anyone got any experience of the brand with regards to safety? Other comments also welcome of course!
Thanks
Laura
