Joe Rocket: The Cleo Elite Over-Pant

First, let me review the intended use. I've never been a passenger. I have always ridden sport bikes since 1979 when I was a teenager. So far I have always ridden Kawasaki iron horses. Three Kaws later, a stock 2013 Yamaha FZ6r is my daily rider. The solid construction of this offering from Joe Rocket is evident the moment you take it out of the box. It is no less obvious that they are not suitable for middle-aged women, athletic women with pronounced forms. Seriously, the hips and waist appear to be the same. So, my friends, if you're riding in a tucked-in position, these pants instantly pull down and back as well as snap up and front. I originally ordered my waist size and couldn't put it on. I returned them and ordered my thigh size so they feel like they're about to fall. I am texting Joe Rocket to clarify that this is not a random subjective complaint. Look at any picture of Cleo and Cleo Elite, the cut is no different from men's pants. Let me stop and reiterate that Joe Rocket makes some of the most attractive, well built, and reasonably priced armor on the market. Today. I have a second Joe Rocket Cleo 2.2 jacket that I can't live without and absolutely love. However, unless you have the figure of a pre-adolescent girl who rides as a passenger and/or stands by and looks cute, the fit of the Cleo Elite Mesh Pants is far from ideal. I'm sorry JR, I know the truth can be painful, but gosh, you're better than that. Go back to school and study the masters. Buy several pairs of high-rise Levi's jeans with cut-off boots. Study them until you understand why women around the world consider them the gold standard of denim. Reimagine Joe Rocket's alchemy so you can recreate Cleo and Cleo Elite's grid offerings. Please send me some new formulas so I can brag about you with confidence again. A mysterious bug from a really great brand. Let me be clear right away that this is a brand that I trust. Actually, I would like to share a very subjective, personal request. Please offer Cleo Elite in matching jacket colors. In my case it's a white Cleo 2.2 jacket with gray and black accents. I'd also like a shade of red that's bright enough to call every squad car within ten square miles. You know, red like a 1970 Chevelle Super Sport with an L6 in it. Let's get back to serious things. I live in the Sonoran desert, I see native people putting on sweaters when the temperature drops to 75. So no one will wear ordinary pants under the net - this is crazy. I'm just telling myself there's no point in wearing a mesh. For myself I have a collection of women's thermal compression underwear for hot weather. I simply switch between a cold weather base coat and a hot weather base coat as needed. These baselayer garments are available in short and long sleeves, while the bottoms are also available in short and full lengths. There's a wide variety of them here at Revain.com. Decide how much you're willing to spend and I'm sure you'll find something within your budget. I only wear full length. Paired with a Cleo top and bottom, these base layers do a great job of helping me stay warm when the Hg drops to 55 or 60, and also help me stay cool in the summer when the temps drop can range from 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit year-round a day. day for several weeks. I've been wearing the Cleo 2.2 non-stop for two or three years now, for me it's the perfect ensemble for all seasons and all year round.
