Bahh...I need help spending my Money!!!

Depends on your build.......skinny guys shouldn't buy either of those brands, because they're pretty baggy.

whites not too bad, just dont let it build up on you. as in dont treat it like your bike, which i believe u said u never clean :lol:

Lol..Bike is diff than gear...And I dont NEVER clean it...

Ok maybe I like to ride more than clean the damn thing...But it still looks good From faar away...Lol

Hey, Sixxxer, have you looked into Teknic gear? You're about my ex's size and Teknic fit him really well.


Just thought I'd throw that out there..... :2cents:

id avoid rocket at all costs bro. well, scratch that. i have a rocket mesh thats pretty good but watch those seams!

Of those two jackets I like the Shift one WAY better.

I'd like to see some other choices before I make my final decision though. ;)

If you are size 48 and you don't mind used, here's a nice jacket on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Field...Q5fMerchandise. But it ends on march 17. I have the exact same jacket in black and yellow, and I love it.

Only if you Insist ;)

Gonna browse around some more before I pull the Trigger...I do like the White though

Def try them on if you can esp stuf for us bigger guys can vary between manufacturers. My textile I can fit a family of illegals in there with me, but my perf jacket is snug if I wear a liner or sweatshirt in it. And leather wont give as much as a textile will.
