Joe Rocket Jacket Comparo

[RandomNickname]

I'm looking at getting a new leather jacket. Joe Rocket would definitely be the brand (I'd do AlpineStars, but apparently they don;t like people who don't have narrow italian shoulders

), and I'm torn between two different jacket: The Speedmaster, and the Blaster 2.0 Perforated.

Anyone have either, and want to throw a few notes, praises, or words of caution about them?

Thanks.

I got a Blaster 2.0 perforated last May (when I bought my RC-51) and wore it everytime I rode. I really liked it. I sold the RC-51 in January, and sold the jacket (it was red) and just bought a new gunmetal Blaster 2.0 to match my LE. (now if only the bike would come in, so I could use it)

When I first bought gear for the bike I thought JR was a lot of flash and overpriced. Hadn't seen places like NewEnough.com, but now might consider either JR or Teknic. I agree that most riding/racing gear doesn't fit the more American (read that 'large') build!

Good luck with the decision.

Don't have either, but I do have a Velocity JR jacket, and I love it.
