Default Which of the three Jackets??

Well im looking for my jacket and orginally i as just planing on getting the Joe Rocket UFO Textile jacket then get a leather later on. But now im not sure.

So should I get

-the Joe Rocket UFO in Black: $170 (i've tried this one on at a local shop fits me perfect)

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...t--609994.html

-The Joe Rocket Rocket Nation Leather in Black: $270

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...t--609967.html

-or the Icon Merc Hero in Black: $370

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...t--509085.html

i love the looks of all three, just wanted to see some of your guys options and if any of you have these jackets how you like them.


P.S. in your guys option is it better to spend more on a helmet or more on a jacket (b/c if i get the Icon i wouldnt be getting the Joe Rocket Rocket Science Helmet for $242, id have to get somthing in the low $200's)

Thanks again,
Mike

I ordered a merc and wound up returning it. Very bad fit on me at least. I went with a joe rocket and im really happy with it. Check out www.newenough.com too. They are pretty cheap, they have deals on shipping. I thinku can get up to$12 free shippin on rocket-which comes out to just about free shipping for2 day. They get it to you really fast and its got a no hassle return policy which is really nice if your not sure about jacket fits. I went through 3 before i found one that fit me good (my local shops dont carry anything!)
