I really like the apperance and it does look like a quality jacket.
Any thoughts are welcomed.
Also, if I posted this thread in the wrong forum please move it. Thanks.

From experience, I think that if you're going to wear a jacket it should be armored. Not just padded.

I think you're wasting time looking online. Get yourself to a store and try crap on.

agreed. You're taking a big leap of faith by ordering any kind of gear online not knowing how it fits you. You should always try before you buy when it comes to helmets, jackets, riding pants, etc. The only thing ive ever ordered online was riding gloves.

I just figured it would be cheaper online. And if need be I would just send it back in exchange for another size. By the way, what is "crumb" slang for?

If you can afford it I would spend a bit more and get a real quality jacket.
This one comes from Fox Creek Leather. $369. If it does not fit they will send you one that does... no shipping... guaranteed for life!
Very warm, very tough, and pretty cool looking IMHO.
Like all things in life you get what you pay for.

just go to a dang store. I tried buying mine off a store... I had to exchange it four times before I found the right one.

The site's censorbot changes the word c.r.a.p into crap.
try to write out the word "nrop" backwards.
anyway, +1 on the going to a
store and trying on a jacket. You don't know how anything will fit from the internet. But clothing
is made for the human shaped body, so i guess it wouldn't hurt to buy it from the internet and still be able to exange it.
