Default finally picked out a jacket

well I finally made it to a local dealership today to try on some jackets. I was interested in some of the joe rocket and alpinestars ATL jackets, however I liked the way joe rocket jackets tended to fit me. I tried on the HRC jacket and a blaster 3.0 I fit into a size 44 in both of those pretty good, so upon arriving back home I ordered Joe Rockets Rocket Nation jacket in size 44 (I hope they tend to run close in sizes). I have the red/black cbr so I bought the red/black jacket, if anyone has any comments or opions let me know! Now I just need to pick up some pants and boots and im ready for the riding season!

I have owned two sets of Joe Rocket leathers. They are made well and fit me really good. I would highly recommend their leather line. I have heard, (on this board and some others related to motorcycle wear), that the textile gear is not as good. Do some searching and come to your own conclusion.
