I don't have that jacket, but I do have a Joe Rocket, and I can say that mine is very nice. It has a removable vest and lots of breathers, good for cold and warm riding. So I'm assuming that the Riot would be a good jacket, it looks cool.

I like that too, mine has similar armor but it's inside the jacket. I don't think you'll be dissapointed with it. There's probably some one here who has it, or knows more about it.

Yeah I'd kinda like a review from someone who has skidded along the ground at 50mph in it and walked away because of it :thumb: :thumb:

You want a damn good mesh? Fieldsheer Mach 1 or a Vanson Vent Max 3. I highly recommend both.

I owned two of them... I thought it was poorly made and wasnt very comfortable. The Co. I ordered it from sent me the wrong color, when I asked them to send the right one, they never asked for the other back  :thumb: I sold one on here and the other on eBay. I think I got them for about $46 shipped

I really dont think it was a very good jacket. I never crash tested it, but it seemed cheap and had a strange fit.

+1 for the feildsheer. I own 2 diff ones and they make a great jacket! and they arent very expensive :thumb:
