Joe Rocket Jacket Sizes - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Tha' Duke · 05-09-2005, 08:32 PM

I'm considering purchasing a Joe Rocket Phoenix 3.0 jacket, but I wanna know how they run size-wise. For example, I know of clothing that says "Size 48-50" that will fit you like a sausage casing if you're a size 50 chest, while other jackets have some play accounted for in their cut.

How do Joe Rocket jackets in general fit (and this Phoenix in particular)?

The best thing you could do if you have access is to go to a store that carries the Joe Rocket jackets,, try them on,, and if you are ordering online then you will know what size to order.

But,,, if you go to the dealer and tell them what kind of deal you found,, they may be willing to meet the price or get close to it. That way even if you pay a few more dollars you will still be able to deal with someone locally versus "Joe Blow" on the phone.

What chest size is the medium?

For me, the chest size will be the dealbreaker. I have a chance to pick up a Phonenix for $100, but it's 4XL (56-5

. I'm losing weight, so I don't know how long it'll fit me, hence my going for the 3XL (54-56).

Spending 2 hours each day commuting on the bike is too long to feel like a sausage on two wheels...

I recently bought a First Gear Mesh Tex 2 Jacket Red and Black matches my Red M50, Great Jacket I wear XL jackets and that's what I ordered and it fits great adjustable cuffs, waist and arms, zip out liner, back, elbow, shoulder padding can be takin in and out. paid 118.00 rated best and best value in many cycle mags.

get a size a few inches bigger...when I tried them on, the 46 fit me the best, and I'm a 42-44" chest.
