Default IM TOO SMALL!

5'4' 130 soaking wet. Ive tried on every small jacket i can get my hands on and nothing seems to fit snug enough. Im going to be getting my first bike pretty soon and I want the best protection I can get. All my friends say that it should fit like a second skin but every jacket i try is still pretty big. any suggestions?


p.s. Im not wearing a chicks jacket! My ***** are too small to fill it out....

haha well it does get kinda hot out here in cali so the sweater when its over 100 out might be a little on the hot side.

Sounds like you have as much prob. as me ,"off the rack" !!!!!! Try eruo stuff, most of them are in a slimer "racer cut", better brand quaulity too. Rocket, is a prime example of "american cut"...Try my friends at 1888 fastlap.com... or new enough leather, explain your delema... They have a write up on fit ,w/ most gear offerd, good guys !!!!!!!!! Clean and free, Ripp'n

I have a AGV. I am about as small as you. It fits great. It is a race leather with pants, but it fits great it is a size 42. I got it with the bike, but I did find a Joe that fits pretty good. I would try on everything, even girls stuff. They don't have to be "filled out" no one would ever know until you told them.

I'm 5'10" and about 130 as well. I have a Miline Camel/Honda jacket that fits awesome. It grabs around the waist and chest perfectly. It's a size 40, but they come small. My chest measurement is 38". I hope this info helps a little.
