yourtoys7 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've been using these for knees https://fortnine.ca/en/shift-enforcer-knee-shin-guard, and these for elbows https://fortnine.ca/en/shift-enforcer-elbow-guard. Now I would like to get a jacket that I can ride on cooler days/ evening from work etc. Im looking for elbow, shoulder protection and if it has chest/ back im ok with that. Here is what I found so far... https://fortnine.ca/en/agv-sport-blast-vented-textile-jacket, I like that is has windproof liner, so you can still wear it on warmer days. Since I like to go fast, Im starting to look into little more protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARPed1701D Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I commend you on being proactive in this regard and going with motorcycle gear which, at your speeds, is the only option. It looks nice to me. I had a mesh jacket for my motorcycle and did find the mesh to be a little rough on the inside against my skin (arms/elbows) and without the liner to fill it out a little the pads got a little sloppy in their positioning which was a concern. It was pretty cheap (yours is not) which may account for most of this. The pads are 1621-1 rated which is great but no mention of this for the back pad (should be 1621-2) and the text "memory foam back pad" makes me wonder if they want to protect you or help you get a comfy nights sleep in it. Back protection is not a concern for you (it would be for me, I wear a POC Spine 2.0 back protector on my 30kph max V8!!!) so maybe that isn't a big deal. Can't comment on the price. I've been out of the motorcycle world for 10 years now and prices change. Compared to the G-Form gear I just brought (sports protective) it is well priced.

abinder3 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Originally for riding on my 'Busa', this is the jacket that I usually wear when riding my KS18AY: (I remove most of the optional 'quad armor' when riding my KS18AY because it can get a little hot wearing all of it.)http://www.motoport.com/product/motoport-air-mesh-jacket/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Definitely this jacket. It won't protect you much from a fall but it will show that your pimp game is strong and that you ain't got time for no jive ass mofos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
