Jafrum Mesh Jackets

jayc · 05-30-2008, 06:09 AM

Anyone have any experience with these? From the pic it's hard to tell if the outer shell is actually mesh or just the liner. Not bad price for something that looks like a Joe Rocket.

I've heard differing reports about Jafrum. I've seen people rave about their stuff, and I've heard it's cheap crap. I've also heard their customer service is great and I heard a lot of complaints about it. If the price is ridiculously low, I'd think about why it's so low.

it's not the same quality as the bigger names. I don't think the armor is removable either

Their website is so technical too...

"Made of Air Mesh"

WTF is "Air Mesh"? Is that anything like maybe kevlar? Nylon? Polyester even?

It's probably made from recycled Tupperware.

The funny thing is, most of the big names are all made in China, Pakistan etc.

I guess your mind is made up Jay. Order it. I had good success with Jafrum. For the price of the jacket you can afford to buy the $50 pants along with it. http://www.jafrum.com/LP2832Black

I guess maybe if I paid 150-200 for a mesh jacket I might force myself to wear it even if it isn't comfortable. For 50+ if it's not I could just leave it home.
