Instead of a jacket...
Well it gets into the triple digits here in Oklahoma and it is really hard to rock a jacket at those kinda of temperature. So i have been looking at alternatives and was wondering is anyone had any experience with Fox Armor.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-FOX-Body-Arm...QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sixsi...spagenameZWDVW I want to use it instead of my jacket during the summer for commuting back and forth from work. Last edited by logan1; 03-14-2008 at 08:53 PM.. |

If you go with that I wish you luck man! IMHO I'd just go with a mesh jacket! But something is always better than nothing!

Believe me guys i am very concern about safety especially since i ride a 07 GSXR 1000 and that is the reason i came to the forum to get more constructive input in order to make an informed decision.
Its just that when you get stuck in traffic at 5 pm and it's a 102 degrees every little bit of cooling make a difference. |

Both of them look like some good quality pieces for what they are. I have never had eszpererince with ehter but if you do it, write a review. I think Icon or A-stars has a piece that is kinda the same on motorcycle-superstore.

I've seen guys wearing rigs like that... I dunno though, I'd be worried about it sliding around if I went down... At least with a jacket if the armor slides, you still have some protection... |

as far as protection goes, i wouldnt trust that shit. plus you'd look like the fucking road warrior and somebody might throw a spear through your chest.
