I think the Joe Rocket jacket looks a little better, but thats just my opinion.  I don't know of any quality differences.  You might want to call them and ask.

My first impression is to choose the FirstGear jacket, based on the fact that the armor is CE approved, which means better protection, to me.

But there isn't any reviews like this:

Note, though, that all of the reviews are less than a year of ownership. If you read some of the other reviews of Joe Rocket jackets, you might be able to make a conclusion.

I'm no help on this one...I've had good luck with my First winter riding 1-pc, and my Joe Rocket jacket, so I like both companies.
Have you looked at SanDiego leather?  They have a very good website and a terrific line (www.sandiegoleather.com).  Worth a look.  Just to add to the confusion.
