The jacket will either fit right with the fleece and then be loose without it, or it will fit without the fleece and be too tight with it.ehood87 wrote:ok i decided on spidi i just have to decide leather or textile i am thinking leather the basic black looks good but my next question is will it still fit properly if you get it a little bigger to stick a fleece under it in case it get too cold just with the liner?
Get yourself a 'multi-season' jacket, either geared toward spring,summer,fall or fall,winter,spring. They'll both be different. The cool weather jacket will have zipper vents and probably a thermal/insulated liner. The warm weather one will likely have mesh or perforated panels and a rain liner.
If you live where the sun is HOT and you're likely to sit in traffic at all, remember that BLACK will roast you like a potato in the sun.
I always recommend that brand-newbies go with the best textile they can afford for the first set up... it costs less $$ in case you make a mistake in features, etc.
Sit on a bike wearing whatever you're considering (an amazing number of folks forget this part) - it should fit snugly, without binding at knees/elbows and the sleeves should cover your wrists with hands on handgrips.
