Frank Thomas Raptor

I like how they look in the advert and thinking about getting these (jacket and trousers) (even though I dont have a Duke to go with them :wink: )

what do you think?

might just be a bad batch for me but i got some gloves by them last year and one of the seams split within a couple of weeks same with the replacement ones in a different spot. since then i’ve been avoiding there stuff. may just be me though.:wink:

It’s not just you.

Frank Thomas stuff really is the most apalling load of tat.

I’d rather have stuff made by Frank Spencer;):cool:

Me too, at least he used to survive his falls ! :smiley:

hmmm ok :ermm:

need to find something else then

You cant go wrong with hein gericke stuff, reasonably priced and all the kit I have had has been good quality.

Ive just bought the jacket and trousers, comfortable I thought they were the biz until I got caught in the rain the second time I wore them. Within 5-10 mins my stomach was soaking. The rain wasnt even that heavy, when you are sitting on bike the rain blows in past the water proof membrane which is meant to cover the zip on the jacket and straight in. I`m taking them back tomorrow and gonna shove them right up the dealer. It even says on the ticket 100% water proof which was backed up by the dealer.

Thanks for the info on this - we were only looking at some last week

I bought some Frank Thomas trousers as a bit of an impulse buy. Wish I hadn’t. No-one likes a cold, damp crotch at 70 mph on a motorway.

Dealer gave me my cash back no probs but insisted that this hadn`t been a problem before!!! I have bought Lindstrands/Halvarssons Graffiti jacket & pants bit more expensive but are the dogs danglees, tried H.Gerike, good, but preferred these.

Never had no problems with my jacket but only recently bought the trousers, jacket has kept me dry on a number of occasion even in some torrential down pours
