I'm in the market for a new jacket and have about 3 in mind. I'm torn and having a hard time deciding between them. If I could, can I ask the boards opinions on each of the jackets and which one you like better?

Thanks

What is Goth about purple Butterflys?

I say option #3 because the three straps in back make it look more like a straight jacket.

I like the design on the back of the GOLD DIGGER ONE.
But, I really like playing cards and Queens are usually a winning hand

You'll be more likely to wear the Cleo 9 months out of the year.:icon_thum

IMO the other 2 don't flow enough air to be comfortable most of the time.

Leather gear will offer the most protection, but in my experience, it takes a LOT of discipline to put on a leather jacket during the hot April through September months down here.:eek3:

The best protection in the world won't do you any good if it's hanging in the closet because it was too hot to wear.:nod:

Just as important as what jacket you get will be how it fits you; too loosely and the armor will shift when you go down. If it's too constrictive, it can limit movement.

I already have a leather kitty jacket but it is just way too hott in the summer.

Plus it's too tight in the chest area :crying: icon gear is made for chicks with no boobs.:angry7:

I would suggest the new Super Ego leather jacket that has the removable front leather panels and inner liner. Its a full top quality leather jacket that is cupped for blessed women.

+1 And mine are just average. It's uncomfortable. I don't think I am going with Icon for my leather jacket.

They are the chest protectors.

For you ladies who are, shall we say, 'more endowed", try either the Teknic or Fieldsheer jackets. They are cut for women with real figures.:nod:

My Alpinestars fits me perfect but every girl is shaped differently. It works well for girls with a good waist and no belly.

If you want to go with JR, I like the #2 and #3. I have Cleo pants and really like 'em, never tried the Jacket though. #2 is probably my favorite though (I am with 50cc on this one, better visibility).

Definitely get the backprotector though.

:icon_thum know whatchya mean. Every jacket that I tried on would fit great except through the chest. Half of them I couldn't zip past the chest. Finally had to suck it up and go with the plain alpinestars that I have now. Even it's still snug in the chest and through the middle back where it has to pull for my chest to fit in :eh:

Anyway, back on topic....#2 is very nice...like swift said, queens almost always win
