I've got a Joe Rocket Alter Ego that I LOVE.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I've just heard rumors that JR's stitching isn't very good and that the seams will come apart in a crash. I don't know if there's any validity to the claims though but I have heard it from more than 1 person.

Heard only great things about Rev'It...a little pricey, (out of your stated range) but they make great stuff. Try on and you'll see why. Next on my list. :mrgreen:
