Hook-and-loop tabs at the waist, chest, upper legs and ankles as well as accordion stretch material at the lower back and elastic sleeve adjusters keep the Survivor securely in place on your body. There’s CE-approved armor at the shoulders, elbows and knees and a thick foam back pad. The Survivor has typical protective and fit-adjustment features. And throughout the inside of the suit is stretchy athletic mesh. If nongauntleted gloves are worn, more air will flow up through the sleeves, especially with the cuff zippers undone. By undoing the main zipper and snaps and unzipping the two vertical back vents, the secondary zipper holds the front of the suit open several inches and allows a heapin’ helpin’ of air through a mesh panel. It consists of a secondary zipper that runs down the middle of your torso. Joe Rocket’s Big Air ventilation system provides relief.
Within less than 10 minutes I felt wetness at my right hip (near the bottom of the “waterproof” main zipper), on my right thigh (near another zipper) and inside my left knee.Īs a water- resistant suit, it can get muggy inside the Survivor. Though imperfect, I tried the shower test and…it didn’t pass. During weeks of testing, I couldn’t find anything but light misting rain within hundreds of miles of Ventura.
Joe Rocket claims the Survivor is 100 percent waterproof. The outer shell is made of Rock Tex 600, a brand of 600-denier nylon material similar to Cordura (a different brand), with double layers at the shoulders, elbows and knees. To underscore its utilitarian nature, the Survivor is available only in a charcoal/light gray color scheme. Joe Rocket’s contribution to this apparel niche is called the Survivor. We’ve tested moto-onesies made by Aerostich, Olympia, Spidi, Rev’It and Tour Master, with combat-ready names like Admiral, Centurion, Infinity, Roadcrafter and Stealth. Over the last few years, more and more apparel manufacturers have begun offering one-piece textile riding suits.
