i was watching a sector nine vid, and this guy is wearing an air brake jacket. he uses it a few times throughout the video. have you ever used one? are they good, and effective? whats your opinion?

If you need to rely on a jacket to slow you down then you're gonna get fcked up.
Has the potential to go very bad at speed.
yeah i agree
Yes, I'm thinking that being randomly buffeted is not going to do wonders for your stability. Braking is an inherently unstable situation to start with.
i have a siiick fluro windcheater that fill up like a parachute when i airbrake...

I've got one dude.

Its great at what its designed to do - keep you warm and dry whilst keeping you visible on the work site.

Hi vis PPE - yes, skating air brake jacket - no.

hey man shit works. you wanna slow down fast at a race, unzip the front of your leathers and bam your crawling. how gangsta's do it.
Aahahah brilliant.

Surely his beard serves as a functional airbrake technique as well

I think Lance Evans made and was wearing one a couple of years ago for a while give him a shout
