Hey fellow riders....im in the market to finally purchase my first jacket and i have been looking at the Fieldsheer Congo and Scorpion Burnout. They are both in my price range and have good reviews. Any of you wear either of these and what do u like about them?? Thanks for any advice/opinions.

 

I have a fieldsheer that was given to me when I got my bike. Two things about the jacket I like. Its really warm and the armor is solid plastic. Way tougher then what was in my old motoboss or whats in my ICON

 

If they have similar specs, (brand, leather thickness, CE armor, ventilation) then just go with what you like best. I've never worn FS, but my boy has one and he likes it. It seems to be a decent quality, and their prices are very good, compared to a Dainese or high end Astars.

In the end, fitment is what matters, assuming you have leather and armor. Dont go for a loose jacket, cuz that can ultimately hurt you in a fall. Leather is supposed to be a second skin, so go for a more snug fit if youre in doubt. Trust me...I know.

 

I have both, Scorpion, and a Fieldscheer, i personally prefer the fieldsheer jacket more. It has better armor in the sholders, and elbows.

 

I have the Scorpion Hat Trick.. great jacket.. very comfortable and so far the quality has proven to be pretty awesome..

 

I've worn Fieldsheer before, like it quite a bit.
