Jacket and Helmet Question

1710 Views 6 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  tlwisner
Well I just got an 04 Intruder 1500 and I am in need of a JAcket and a helmet.
For the helmet I got a Full Face HJC and XXL barely fits :D. However I couldent find a Jacket that fits me. for textile Jackts I need XXL and leather I need 54 US. Nobody had these jackets and I dont wanna get a big HArley Davidson style black letaher jacket with big zippers etc... I want a race bike Jacket. So I decided on JoeRocket Sonic 2.0 Black.

My question is does anyone have any kind of expericen with this jacket and should I get perforated or non perforated, I live in LA.

In LA? Here in Kentucky I wear a mesh Gericke Venom jacket when the temps are above 75 degrees. I suspect you'll want the perforated jacket and you'll want to keep moving for the sake of airflow. I was out in Orange County (CA, not Choppers...) last month and it was fairly warm! 8)
If you're going to do all of your riding in Southern California, I would suggest a mesh jacket. I have an XXL Gericke Venom jacket that is great in warmer weather while providing decent protection. Perf leather gloves are nice too, you get a better grip and a bit of protection. You may have to shop online for sizes local dealers don't carry.

Enjoy your ride, nice bike choice! 8)
