Just a quick one, what is the general opinion on RJ's jackets? I'm just looking at buying one from trademe for $70 and am wondering what the aprox normal value of these are, and what the quaility is like.
I'm actually getting it mainly for the removable armor (shoulders, elbows) which I'm told is CE rated by the seller. Plus it has a fold down rain vest that'll be useful too. (I've got a Teknics perf'd leather jacket that came with no armor, and for obvious reasons would be of little use on it's own in the rain :) )
Also what is armor worth anyway? I've managed to score some shoulder armor off trade me for $5, but it seems that the only NZ websites that list a price are $40+ per set..
If it wasn't for the fact I've already scored the shoulder armor for so cheap buying the jacket just for the armor would be a no brainer if armor is $40+, but the point lessens a bit now that I do have it..
