CHiPZ 03-04-2002, 07:13 PM I use the Dainese Safety jacket. Lovespicyfood 03-04-2002, 07:40 PM Right now, I have the Phoenix pants that I use w/ my Hypersport Suzuki jacket. I love them...they really keep you cool. I'm gonna get the jacket soon...it really is great for warm weather and a pretty good price (~$129) spike52 03-05-2002, 12:40 PM I swear by my Joe Rocket..Just picked up a pair AGV sport gloves on sale at Dennis kirk.. http://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?userid=schwier52&album_id=56924&image_id=0&courtesy=1 Ip 03-05-2002, 01:52 PM Yep, and it seems like everyone has them. They also come in all the standard colors now. Red, Blue, Black, Silver, Yellow. They also hold up really well in crashes too. Not as well as leathers but alot better than expected.

Any links from first person will do.... TIA, erik XXjonesXX 03-09-2002, 10:39 PM I just got one too! Paid 109.00 for the 2002 grey one.

Repsol_Movistar 03-10-2002, 05:15 AM ummmm doesnt black attract the sun?? therefore making it hotter? sure it would be cool while riding along,, but as soon as ur caught at the lights,, hmmmmmmm richicejr 03-11-2002, 12:23 AM i got the grey phoniex and it was great last year ... lots of padding Void 03-11-2002, 12:40 AM Originally posted by Repsol_Movistar: ummmm doesnt black attract the sun?? therefore making it hotter? sure it would be cool while riding along,, but as soon as ur caught at the lights,, hmmmmmmm<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Nah those jackets are made out of a really loose mesh-type material. Mebbe I can find a pic... Here we go http://www.newenough.com/New%20Joe%20Rocket/Phoenix%20Jacket/fabric.jpg It isn't as much crash protection as leather, but its better than just a t-shirt. I'll probably end up buying one for those days when its hot enough that I'd be tempted to go without the leather jacket. jetset119 03-20-2002, 01:42 AM I just ordered one for 129.00 when I went to the bike show in N.Y. they had one with road rash it looked like it held up pretty well.I'll still keep the shiny side up though. | ||
