Anyone have any experience with RS Taichi stuff?

Thinking about buying one of their mesh/nylon jackets. I got a Teknic Supervent jacket and am overall happy with the slimmer cut, but the sleeves, which seem larger than necessary, and elbow pads conspire to make my arms look pretty weird when they're stretched to the handlebars. (Maybe I need bigger arms...but I'm not too scrawny @ 14")

no experience with RS Taichi. But I hear its very good track gear. Highly sought after. Nothing but good reviews. I maybe in the market to buying a full race suit from them.

That's what I heard. Leather is top protection and I agree, I feel safer in my leather jacket then my mesh one. One of the RS Taichi leather jackets flow great from what I read, just can't remember which one.

I haven't used their jackets or suits, but I do use their gloves.

They're absolutely top notch. Had them for nearly a year now and they're still in great shape. The quality right from the shelf was top notch. Call Diego at Cycle Sector if you need to get their stuff. I believe he's one of the few distributors for their products. I have felt (OK Fondled ) one of their high end race suits in the shop one day and it just felt high quality.

Wish they had a distributor in IL. Everywhere I saw online had restocking fees or refunds in store credit. If only Motorcyclegear.com carried them...

Call Diego and see what you can work out. Don't know that he'd be able to waive any kind of restock, but it's worth a try. Like I said, he's a great guy and his new wife Amy who works there too is a sweetheart. Don't know if it would help any, but you can drop my name with him to see what he can do for you.

Here's a quick tour of the shop courtesy of one of the shop dogs, Loki.

And this is Bauer, the other shop dog. Best parts of going to the shop aside form fondling the merchandise.

Cycle sector is one of many stores that are great.
