Depends on your build.......skinny guys shouldn't buy either of those brands, because they're pretty baggy.

[Dnyce]

whites not too bad, just dont let it build up on you. as in dont treat it like your bike, which i believe u said u never clean :lol:

[Sixxxxer]

Lol..Bike is diff than gear...And I dont NEVER clean it...

Ok maybe I like to ride more than clean the damn thing...But it still looks good From faar away...Lol

Hey, Sixxxer, have you looked into Teknic gear? You're about my ex's size and Teknic fit him really well.


Just thought I'd throw that out there..... :2cents:

Of those two jackets I like the Shift one WAY better.

I'd like to see some other choices before I make my final decision though. ;)

If you are size 48 and you don't mind used, here's a nice jacket on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fieldsheer-black-grey-Leather-Race-Jacket_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q 3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c29 3Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZi tem110362433436QQitemZ110362433436QQptZApparelQ5fM erchandise. But it ends on march 17. I have the exact same jacket in black and yellow, and I love it.

Only if you Insist ;)

Gonna browse around some more before I pull the Trigger...I do like the White though

Def try them on if you can esp stuf for us bigger guys can vary between manufacturers. My textile I can fit a family of illegals in there with me, but my perf jacket is snug if I wear a liner or sweatshirt in it. And leather wont give as much as a textile will.

I don't like either. The JR would be OK if it didn't have that gay ass star on it.

Well I'm a fan of ICON gear for street riding. I kno some people hate it but I've never had a problem with it and mine has held up amazingly well through ridiculous weather and wear.

Here are some Icon choices I like (they come in different colours if you don't like them).

I'd go Shift based on those two choices. I'm also a fan of white and grey gear. Looks good.

I have an Icon Accelerant Jacket that has held up well but with these choices,I'd go the Shift.
