i've having a really hard time finding a jacket to fit me. i'm 6' and 145 (all lean baby :thumb: ), and any jacket long enough could fit 2 of me in the chest. anyone have any suggestions?
to start, look to the european manufacturers, like Alpinestars, Spidi, Spyke, etc since they're usually cut for leaner types like us (5'6, <120lbs).
Joe Rocket fits me like you describe.
Try Dainese.... they are for the tall skinny Valentino Rossi type guys.
Good Call. I'm 6'4" 170 lbs. I have a Dainese Talos jacket that fits like a glove...good stuff. :cheers:
Hmm I shoulda asked here, I got a Joe Rocket jacket in XS (or was it just small?) it fits good everywhere except the sleeves are a bit short when riding crouched, even with my gauntlet style gloves on.
FirstGear offers "tall" sizes of many jackets and pants.
if you can't find any stock jackets that fit check out http://www.vansonleathers.com/. It's a MA company which will customize any of their products to size or color needs, for an extra cost of course. I have a friend who is tall and skinny and couldn't find anything so we took a ride to their store. They have real goods stuff, even if you don't need custom work
i fit into the same build as you and alpinestars had it for me
6' 150#
i had that problem too... i really wanted icon to match my helmet and my gloves but it wouldnt fit me... but i got alpinestar tz-1... i bought it for 340... but i found online for 280...
