I'm sick of the zipper breaking on my Joe Rocket Blaster.

My other jacket is a Joe Rocket Phoenix, which I like, but it's mesh. Unless there's something I don't know, that thing isn't going to protect much but my back, elbows, and shoulders in a wreck. As in, it seems that mesh would shred to pieces in a slide. . ?

So, I may be looking for a new jacket and was thinking about textile. What are the pros and cons of both?

Also, I'd like to have a jacket that I could eventually zip pants to b/c I can't stand my Alpine Stars suit.

You could say interesting... I say :gary: I'm so :gary: that you better not wear that while riding thru San Fransico..you'll be swatted right off your bike into a :gary: porn vid! :wtf: :lol:

Also, Pig... no biggie just want to help and those threads will probably do it alot easier for ya!

Yeah, it looks like something Trent Reznor wore on stage around 1989. lol

I'm just gonna send my Joe Rocket leather jacket back if I can and have them fix the zipper.

I got an Icon textile today, the JR Phoenix is worthless.

Joe Rocket makes nice cheap made in China products.
For few extra $ you can buy products made in America that make Joe Rocket look like crap, which include lifetime warranty :dthumb: You get what you pay for in life

This armor is level 2 CE certified. put it on and you can slip a jersey on, not wilt in the sun and still be protected. I like mine

+1 on the Vansons. Don't have any since mine are Fieldsheer (which I would NOT recommend), but I have worn some and was really Wow'd. But, the price on JR is good for a low-cost solution.....

 

[Pigface1]

For the first time ever I agree with Jetski. I have two Joe Rocket jackets, a Blaster and a Phoenix. The blaster's zipper is screwed, so I'm gonna get that fixed. JR does make some GP grade suits, in fact I think Rossi wears one. I just haven't had good luck with their stuff.

The highest grade suits are made of kangaroo, though. $$$$$$$$$$

 

[twisty]

Rossi wears Dainese and AGV Helmets. kangaroo has came down in price the last few years and you can now get high quality suit for around 1500 bucks.

 

[Pigface1]

I imagine you've been down once or twice, what suit are you wearing?

 

[twisty]

Spidi, Pretty good suit. It has been hell. My next one will be Spidi Roo.

Are you ordering them online? I've gotten a lot of stuff from NewEnough in the past. .

Get out the yellow pages and look for a tailor or alterations and have someone put a better zipper in for you

 

[Pigface1]

Hmmmm. . I guess that would work. lol :cheers:

Well I use to have shop here that gave me good prices but they since have stopped and so has my money going into their pockets. hackREC LeisureCorphack.

So yes everything is bought on the web. If somthing doesnt fit I just send it back and they send me another.

 

[Pigface1]

What roo suits do you recommend? It seems to me that online sizing charts are bs for the most part. . some of them take into account that you'll be wearing a back protector and some don't. Am I missing something?
