Last year RIDE magazine found that this Finnish manufacturer made textile clothing to rival the safety of leather.

After checking their website, i ordered some gloves from one of their UK dealers. Has anybody got any knowledge of these fine looking gloves, or am i the UKGSER guinea pig??

I have a pair of their winter gloves.
Havent had much use yet for various reasons, but seam to be very good when i did use them.
Really can't complain when you compare their prices to other suppliers.

I have just purchased their "Korax" jacket.
Seems really well made and well thought out... has vents for when (if) the weather here ever warms up.

Check out www.jofam.se for pic and details. (I saw it at the NEC bike show, and decided then I wanted one... had to wait til now as it wasnt in production back the.... I saw the prototype)

Dont know how waterproof it is yet, but is appears well made, and fits me nicely....shame they havent really got a good distribution yet, but will bet they sell loads when distribution is sorted.

Just my 2p worth, and Im not anything to do with the company

Dave, how effective are the vents? Had a look at one yesterday and IMHO I'd guess the waterproof liner is behind the mesh / zip. Even if it's "cold" with them closed and "f...ing cold with them open TVMIA.

I've got a pair of their winter gloves, so far they have been waterproof and are reasonably warm. Only problem was that the price at the NEC was quoted at £36 but by the time my local dealer in Newcastle got them in it was £50, apparently due to the high demand.that said the cordura trousers are only £100 and seem to be excellent value.

Just got their Dryway+ (goretex stuff) gloves for £38

When you hear their textile clothes in RIDE test cost £900 i expected mega money for the gloves, but £38 !!!! Robbin' b******s
