Jacket Size

[Spazman727]

I'm not sure if my jacket fits properly, It came with my bike and it seemed to fit. Recently I've noticed that it puffs up around the chest when I sit down. However the sleeves feel like they're a good length and width and the waist is ok with the tighteny things done up fully. Is this normal for synthetic jackets or is mine too big for me? I'm not that keen on shelling out for a new one but if it's not good enough I will.

Cheers.

You're ok with textile jackets not fitting perfectly around your chest. The first and foremost thing is that the armour doesn't move around. (Well, to have armour in the first place helps.) So sit on your bike as you would when you are riding and see how far you can move your armour around. If it's so big that it moves right around beyond your elbows/shoulders then it's waaaay too big.

Edit: I really hope that by 'synthetic' you mean textile. Because it's a totally different story with leather.

Sweet, thanks. I think it should be ok, armour doesn't move. It just looks like i have breasts (and I don't) when I sit down.

Mmmmmmm Breasts!

Mmmmmmm Breasts!

Yeah, but in this case its absence of breasts I'm afraid.

If it feels loose it means you are not eating enough pies
