Default New Jacket. Need Help

Hey guys and ladies. Got a quick question. Im investing in a new jacket and im up in the air about these two.

This is the first one
http://www.teknicgear.com/catalog.ph...d=1&pid=10

and the other is
http://www.teknicgear.com/catalog.ph...=1&pid=212

There both 209$


I guess i just want to know which one is safer?
Not to familiar with all the lingo they use in describing the jackets.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Next time, put this is the riding gear section please? Thank you.

IMHO, eww to both haha. If you want to go teknic, get their higher end gear. Possibly the speedstar or the violator?

I like the black/red impulse jacket, looks pretty slick.

I have a teknic lighting jacket...only thing I didnt care for was it didnt have a liner, well it did, but it was a joke, in the winter it was not warm, my Icon jacket has a real liner, and you can remove the liner and the sleeve have a bunch of little holes so it breaths pretty good.

but as far as which one is safer...there both leather....

I like more fitted and defined jackets, so I say the Chicane.

Out of the two, pick chicane. Try to find it on ebay if you can. It's a lot cheaper, buddy.
