buells3rider Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 So about 3wks ago I purchased a new Komodo riding jacket from www.firedogracing.com, prices were great, take PayPal, all that. Booyah. This is the jacket I "purchased":So, when I got the box last Thursday, I was excited and cut the packaging tape open to find this......now, I'm not too bright, but it occurs to me that if someone can take a look at the jacket pictured on the website and the jacket I got and NOT be able to tell a difference? Yeah, your ass shouldn't be racing anything except the Grim Reaper, because you're probably not smart enough to outrun him, either, and the rest of us will be safer in this world once he catches you... The armor isn't pocketed, so it slides 360deg within the sleeve and can be slid from the wrist to the shoulder (which is a wonderful feature considering it's something meant to protect your elbows in the event of a wreck - when they're in your armpits they're useless), the nickel zipper is very plastic, I have a lambskin jacket that is less than 1mm leather that is thicker not to mention that only the sleeves are not perforated, the piping is colored leather and not anything that could be considered reflective, and the manilla trim around the zippers and varsity-jacket stripes around the flimsy collar look all kinds of retarded, not to mention the big KOMODO logos all over it. Guess I was kind of expecting to receive what I'd been sold. Silly me, eh?But, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went to contact the company so I could send it back and get a refund. Apparently, there is one person running this show, and asks to be EMailed vice being called. I do both. Less than 10mins later he promptly EMailed me a response and asked why I wanted to return it, and within 20mins I had described why I wasn't too pleased, even though I did it very professionally. That was the last time I have heard anything from Brian of Fire Dog Racing. No returned calls, no EMail responses, this little douchebag seems to think that I'm just some random girl that he shacked up with one night and will leave him alone if he just ignores me. I'm probably going to end up being stuck with this fugly coat that is about as safe as 1/2-inch long flash-paper fuses on M-80's and with any luck at all I can sell it on Ebay for at least part of what I paid, but it would be in your best interest to NOT (repeat, NOT) buy anything from Fire Dog Racing, and plz spread the word to anyone else you know, b/c it's not fun getting shafted, and it costs $$. People who do this kind of business shouldn't be in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buells3rider Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 im surprised that company has a "corporate office" http://www.komodogear.com/home.php Yeah, that might not have been the right title, can't imagine it's more than just a tiny rented office space, but still... had to goto the customer service part of the site and tell them what happened to get a response.
