Ok did some searching on here and didn't find much.. that either tells me that the product isn't good or they just didn't buy it because of it being a nylon jacket. My question is...is this a jacket that could be wore will riding around town on the bike or is this a jacket to wear to the dealer in your car? Anyone actually own this to actually wear out on the street? I know that there is no substitute for leather!!!!! And where can you get the body armor for the back(FXRG line)?

I've got both the Jacket and the body armour in stock. This is a riding jacket, based on Joe Rocket design. It is a decent mid weather jacket, not like leather for protection or warmth, but decent.

I picked one up online last month. Pretty sure it's a Joe Rocket Atomic model. I really didn't need it but couldn't pass up the price. The jacket has CE armor(elbows/shoulders) and claims to be water resistant. I look forward to testing this once the snow melts.

Whats the sizing run like? Some recent purchases found sizes fit a bit too tight.

I am really pleased with the sizing. I usually buy Large Tall sizes when available to get the sleeve length right. I took the chance and ordered a large jacket. It fits just a little loose in the chest while wearing a t-shirt. I'm sure with a sweatshirt/fleece it would be about perfect. The sleeve length I would guess run about an inch longer than my other jackets(Alpinestars). I am 6'2" and about 180lbs.

A couple other notes about the jacket.
1. It has a 2-way main zipper, can be split from the bottom.
2. 2 vertical vents on the chest, 2 on the back, and one on each bicep.

Yea, like I need yet ANOTHER jacket, but if I found on of these bolt jackets at a good price, I'd get one. Just don't know if I need a large, being the type of jacket..I don't see the need to wear much more under it...so maybe a medium?}

Got my jacket in and I agree with Timo31 the size is just barely tight for me and I got the medium being I didn't want it to flop at posted speed limits. All in all the jacket is heavy and good quality.
