Title: FS - Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket and Stage I Pants (gently used)
Post by: vtlion on March 13, 2007, 10:20:20 AM
It is time for spring cleaning, and I am getting rid of a few infrequently used items from my collection of riding gear.  Anyone interested please get in touch by PM or email.  Pictures available.  Both items are in good to excellent condition.

Joe Rocket Phoenix II Mesh Jacket size Large 35 bucks US plus shipping (Practically new.  It just doesn't get that hot here in the mountains of PA.  I should also mention that I swapped out some of the foam elbow armor for the polymer stuff from an old Truimph Raptor Jacket)

Joe Rocket Stage I Pants size Large.  40 bucks US  plus shipping (Only worn on a few rides the cold and on longer rides through the twisties.  Now that JR is making tall sizes, I can finally buy a pair of pants that FIT  :) )

and a few pics for the curious.  I should mention that I learned early on that the little black clip on the waist of the stage1 pants is NOT a load-bearing structure... lol.  After over-tightening the waist, that little thing popped off on the first time out, shearing the tab that holds it in place just a little.  I was able to retrieve it and snap it back in place.  (it still works just fine).

According to the RideGear sizing chart, they are 33-35" waist and 33" inseam.

I'm a 33" waist and they fit well alone, but I can make them work as overpants, too.  So I would say that the chart is right on.

My problem is in the inseam.  I'm a 34" inseam and they ride a little high when I'm on the sportbike.  I think that a 33" inseam could make them work, but in a full sportbike tuck they might hike up to the top of your boots.
