Keep in mind that a jacket is an investment to protect yourself while on the bike. I would do some research on several sites and see what you can find. 1.4 is a lot better for protection. Also make sure you have the armor in the jacket for your elbows and back.

#2, I love my power trip.

Funny that PT owned by Joe Rocket since my PT fits a whole lot better than any of my JR's.

Call newenough and ask them to check if it is easy enough too remove the hideous "TOWER TRIP: street unit" lettering from the front and the back without damaging the jacket.

Agreed. You could also dye the Power Trip logo pretty easily... but the other jacket just looks all around better (visually and construction-wise).

For 80 Dollars I think I may have to buy it...Even if the Logo is not the greatest.

Although its measure by Suit jacket sizes...40,42,44,46 Etc Etc...I wear a Suit Jacket in 46...Safe bet to order the same size for this?? Every other jacket I've bought was sized L,Xl,XXL Etc Etc

thanks guys.
went with the Power Trip jacket.

yeah, i'm not too crazy about the lettering on it either, but for the price.....
it'll grow on me.

this will be fine till i can afford a higher end leather jacket.
i just wanted a leather jacket for better protection than my textile.

i'll give you guys a review when i get it in.
