I'm barrel chested and kinda short, and am looking for an armored leather motorcycling jacket.?
title says it all, I'm 5'10 or so, 220lb. Tried on A* and the largest they had [40 inch chest] didn't fit my chest [48 inch chest] and the elbow armor wasn't over my elbow... so I need to find a company that makes armored jackets that'd fit me. I'm not looking for posing gear for sitting outside of *$, I just want to ride, but be protected. Getting a pressure suit and wearing an unarmored mesh or leather jacket over it has already been suggested, but I'd rather go down the *safer* [pressure suit can twist around and the arms on the jacket would twist and bind and prevent sliding due to being loose] path with a proper jacket.
Thanks!
I'm not going to ride without armor, Yes, I've never gone down WITH armor, always with only fingerless gloves [on a mountainbike] but as speeds increase and lowside/highside stopping distances increase, the chances of a hard knock to my extremities increases, and I'd be pissed with myself if I went for comfort and then a month later am in traction...
And I like UJMs... crotch rockets are pretty unncessecary
