Default need a good jaket???

whats up guys ive been to a couple of shops in town to buy a riding jacket, but can really seem to find a good one , some the prices were crazy and i really dont know whats the difference in brands does it really matter , some folks been telling me that joe rocket sucks but why if there all textile or leather whats the diff, except some have good pads some dont thats the only difference ive seen. i just wanted to know if you guys new what was a good quality and welll priced jacket maybe if you could just tell me about the jacket you may have , so i know what to look for , im not trying to Kop anybodys style i just know that jacket , helmet, and some good gloves is our only protection, and especially since last fall I really likedto getsome qualty ****. thanks for any kind of help with this

I would have to say in my opinion that joe rocket doesnt suck. I have joe rocket jacket right now that i am selling because when i ordered it it turned out to be too small and i need a bigger one. But i didnt keep the tags so they wouldnt let me exchange it. I love it tho. Its comfortable and really warm. Has lots of padding and breathes really good to stay cool in the summer. Ill paid $152 for it new about 4 months ago. I have only wore it like maybe 10 times. I got a new bigger one. Ill sell you this one for $100 bucks. Interested??

New enough had a JR supermoto jacket on close out for 185$ a little while back. It is an awesome jacket. I own one now and it has both plastic and foam armor. My bud crashed in one at 55 and came out really well because of his jacket. Check newenough.com's closeout section.


Only fault is it's perforated so you will need an undercoat if you ride in the cold.

This is not bad. Joe Rocket has some really nice stuff. This jacket is on the rack right now in my local Honda Dealer for $499. It will probably be there for a long time.
