New Jacket!!!! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Rockhead · 04-08-2006, 11:01 PM

I got this jacket from http://www.proriderleather.com/ I’m not sure on what their internet prices are but I got a good deal in the store. And if you’ve seen my Fred Flintstone pics (If you missed it http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...t=polar+plunge) you know im a jolly size, which is a pain in the behind to shop for. A guy from work, who told me about the place (Rides a VTX1300) claims to know the guy who makes their stuff and is going to customize a pair of armored pants for him. I’m all over that since im not too fond of chaps. The jacket has all the vents in the world with padding in the shoulders, wrists and back, which can be replaced with armor.

I included a few other pics of stuff IV gotten in the past couple months. Joe Rocket Gloves, Oxtar Boots and a face mask. (What a difference don’t know how I rode without one in the cold)

The helmet I had since last year, and that’s NASCAR’s Greg Biffle’s autograph, the #16 National Guard Car.

Safety is my top priority this year thanks to this web site. I still have a shopping list of stuff I want, but at least for now I feel my skin is better protected.

Good find. I think newenough.com has a larger sizing section on gear too. They have awsome prices. Bought a jacket on close out there, original MSRP was about $250 and bought it for $110 from them.

airborne leathers has the bomber jacket for around 100 for the AF A2 and the Navy G2 is about the same.

I don't know why, but it looks to me like that jacket is a style that does not fit snug. Jackets are supposed to fit snug but not tight. How does that one fit?

It has a nice firm fit for the chest and stomach area. In the shoulders and arms it's a little looser for mobility but not too bad. By the end of summer id like it to fit allot looser and the rest of my cloths.
