I am leaning more towards the Joe Rocket one. In solid black. Although the blue and black one wouldn't be too bad and it would match my bike great. I wanted the black one so when I get a different bike the jacket will match it. The prices are too good to pass up...
Any opinions on the above jackets would be great. Thanks :thumbs:
PS you almost have me considering the blue/black for myself. that's a great price! but i already have 2 JRs and an icon jacket. guess i don't really need another.
The only thing with the blue one is there is a white stripe across the front. Kinda weird if ya ask me. The black one is solid black which I like. hhmm.... :scratch:
I am looking at this for my new helmet as well in either the silver/silver or the blue/silver color. Depending on the color jacket I go with.
Thinking about getting the Mirrored Silver shield to go with it.

Opinions on HJC helmets???
What do you think of the helmet? I have a Shoei RF-800 helmet I bought back in 1999 so I really want to update my lid so something a little lighter and stylish :wink:
I guess you could say I am in the middle of a total gear overhaul. Bought new gloves the other day which are solid black if anyone was wondering. My current jacket is solid black as well. My current lid is solid metallic silver/grayish color.

Man, it is a good thing you don't live in Texas. I am burnen up in gray, can't think what it would be like in almost all black. I am thinken about going Elvis, I have found white pants and jacket, now if I can get some shine to it I'll be set. What kind of helmet do you think Elivs would have worn?
The black a-star airflo jacket is great. and it is the been getting in the 90's lately here in florida. Now my grey A-star stung jacket gets a bit hot in. my air-flo feels like i dont have a jacket on LOL.
Asw for the jackets, I'm not necessarily brand loyal but JR jacket is nice.
However with the helmets, I just got an HJC and an AGV and the HJC is nice, I got the exact one you are looking at in Flat Black/Silver/Silver. And I like it alot!!
Like I said, for HJC powerdrom has the best prices. Here's a link to that helmet you want, size medium, $150 shipped. You can't beat that. HERE
If there is a size or color you want that he doesn't have you could probably send him an email.
He recently started carrying some KBC's and Arai's also...
Alright... here is what I decided on for a jacket. I couldn't resist the price of $45 bucks. It was a hard decision between the solid black and the blue/black one. I stuck with solid black because it will match any bike I own in the future. I am holding off on the helmet until I can try it on first.
Twinkies I looked at that jacket as well. I will tell ya why I didn't get that one. I didn't like the zipper wrist closure. I prefer the velcro style so I can make it as tight as need be. The zipper may not close tight enough. Also I didn't really like the style too much. :wink:
i have that one and i like it. i don't think the padding is as nice in that one though. but it does the job for casual riding. and that is a good price (i paid $90 on ebay for it, i am kicking myself now). :dthumb:
I received my jacket in the mail today. It fits perfect for the most part. The arms are a little long but I haven't taken it out for a ride yet so I am sure they will be fine once I stretch my arms out to reach the controls. For $54 (thats with shipping) I can't complain. I will have to get used to the armor also. Never had a jacket with all the armor this one has :dthumb:
Talking about prices, I purchased a clearence Meshie from them last weekend, got it yesterday. It was $42 befor shipping. I stick with my leather for longer rides, but when I'm just running errands around town at lower speed, and idling at stop signs the leather was just a bit too hot. So I got this one, nice a visible for city riding. Still got the CE protectors for a fall., but real good air flow. MSRP 124.99 on closeout for $42.
