Instead of a jacket...

logan1 · 03-14-2008, 09:42 PM

Well it gets into the triple digits here in Oklahoma and it is really hard to rock a jacket at those kinda of temperature. So i have been looking at alternatives and was wondering is anyone had any experience with Fox Armor.

I want to use it instead of my jacket during the summer for commuting back and forth from work.

It's been said before I'd rather wipe sweat than blood just get a camelpack instead

If you go with that I wish you luck man! IMHO I'd just go with a mesh jacket! But something is always better than nothing!

Good Luck

Believe me guys i am very concern about safety especially since i ride a 07 GSXR 1000 and that is the reason i came to the forum to get more constructive input in order to make an informed decision.

Its just that when you get stuck in traffic at 5 pm and it's a 102 degrees every little bit of cooling make a difference.

Both of them look like some good quality pieces for what they are. I have never had eszpererince with ehter but if you do it, write a review. I think Icon or A-stars has a piece that is kinda the same on motorcycle-superstore.

I have a mesh JR jacket.
Wearing that is cooler than wearing just a tshirt.
