They are all size 42 US, 40-42" chest. I'm scrawny too and yes theses are all yeller

. They are a bike shop in Calgary.
I bought this one for $112 US including shipping on the weekend and they raised the price to $105 US for the jacket in this other auction. It's still a bargain though. The first auction ends in 5 hours, the second in six days. Or you can contact them and they'll just send you a paypal bill like they did to me as a direct sale.

Well, the jacket came in today and all I can say is WOW!!!
The tag on this sucker is $479.00 and I got it for $143.
100% Waterproof
full sleve liner
six vents
a cool neck warmer attachment
armor with kevlar
so many adjusters (10) that make it a custom fit
loads of pockets
I had the pleasure of riding around with it today through wind, sun, and rain. Wind, ha what wind, until now i was always blown around from the buffeting of my old make shift jacket. Rain, didn't feel a thing(at least on top)

. And when it was hot and sunny the vents cooled so very well.
Did I say WOW!, opps ya I did. I've gone to the dealers before and tried on some Joe Rocket gear and others in the past but nothing I've ever tried had all the options this one has. I highly recomend this jacket to anyone. If yellow isn't your thing shop around, even used it would be great.
Did I say WOW!

And I meant every single one.

Thanx Warrior.
Had to work till 2 am yesterday so I missed the first one, but the second auction is looking tempting.
I have nothing against yellow and bikes, I grew up on RM's and YZ's(back when they were yellow too) so yellow is the color I associate with bikes first off.

Toke the bike out for a couple hours today with a friend in 32 C heat with no wind at all. I took the liner and neck warmer out before the ride and opened all 8 vents. Even at 50kph I was very cool and on the highway it was absolutely perfect. My friend on the other hand on his HD Heritage Soft Tail was wearing an official HD leather jacket. On the highway @ 110kph he was ok but any slower he was sweating his a$$ off. I asked him if the tough guy image was worth it and he said he is thinking of getting a textile jacket with armor now (all black of course). If he'd fit my jacket he would have tried it.

I'm waiting on a Joe Rocket atomic 2.0 my kids got me for Father's Day (I have great kids!) It's Yellow and black (matches my helmet) with Scotchbrite white reflective stripes, and all the bells and whistles I need. Congrats on the jacket...You've got me psyched to get mine!
