Hey all,
So after the big hissy fit I threw about the "$119 Jacket and HJC Helmet" offer from MotoXOutlet, they finally came through and sent the items. Helmet is great, but the jacket does not fit. :oops: It fits fine in the shoulders and chest, but the waist is waaaaay too short. So it's up on eBay now.
What I would like to know is if anyone out there has found a jacket that fits well for those of us who are more than skinny. The Joe Rocket seemed like it was designed for someone with big shoulders but a skinny waist. I have the big shoulders, but the waist is somewhat more than skinny. Ok, a lot more than skinny. The Joe Rocket was a XXL, but I don't want to go to a XXXL, because it will probably fit too loose on top. Anyway, suggestions are welcome. And I'm looking for a mesh jacket, by the way.
Thanks
It's not mesh, but I have a Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket in 3X-Tall, and it fits me well. I'm 6'2", 320lbs with a very wide frame and a lot of my height in my torso. It fits me great, but I do have broad shoulders.
I thought most jackets were made for bigger guys... I'm 6' 180 LBS... And SMALL jackets are too big around my gut. In what world am I a small? :?
So, I guess jackets are made for guys that are 5'10" 200... No more, no less. :icon_confused:

I see what you're saying. :icon_lol:
It's not so much that the jacket doesn't fit around my waist, but more that it's just not long enough. I guess an XXL Tall would probably do the trick. I'm looking at this one now

AH! Yeah... You gotta look at "Tall" jackets or 3/4 length jackets.
Certain mfrs have "Tall" sizes, but most don't... My friend is having a similar problem... All that pants that fit his skinny ass only fit about mid-shin...
It must suck to be 6'3" and 170lbs... :laugh:
Here is a link at newenough on their hard to fit page

Some of the jackets come in tall's but you have to check which ones.
Hope this helps you out a bit or at least gives you an idea of whats available.
I wonder if Harley Davidson makes jackets that fit hefty people better...? I mean, Harley riders are usually all circumferentially challenged right? :dunno_white:
I know, I know... All generalizations are wrong. Including this one. :icon_rolleyes:
