We're not girls right

Your a fat fucker like me so you'll need a 2XL mate.

I'm normally a XL but both my Rally cross jackets and pants were/are 2xl. Onto second jacket as first was cut off when I broke my neck. I've only ever had the 2 generation old non removable arm versions but they are good jackets for summer riding - good cooling. Need a water proof jacket over as a wind resistant layer in winter.

why the F would you want to remove the arms?

I can never get over the pics of guys riding round with a jacket & bare arms. Not into ATGATT but not much use really for protection.

why we bother to buy here at all?
Range, sizing, PRICE with or without GST....Shipping etc.....There is still some great bargains to be had overseas, even when you factor in shipping and exchange rate....

For when you're riding without a jacket and it's a bit cold you put on the vest bit but it's not cold enough for the full jacket.

Do,nt really need an armless jacket I think ...do they leak much and why no good windproofing?

**Peril** · 22nd July 2010, 07:17

That's the model I have Kenny.
On a really cold day,with the liner in,you feel pretty much nothing.But on a more technical adv ride or a trail ride,you cook when the liner is in.Take it out and you get cold (remember our trip down the Tram road in the fog?) in anything under 18 degrees as a lot of the jacket is mesh.
So as per Ryan's advice,a light weight over jacket might be the go for cooler days.

That's a clever idea. And one that'd cost me next to nothing to make an attachment for my paddock stand.

Bah. Sit behind the bike with your foot under the wheel. Easy peasy. Nothing to make, nothing to store, nothing to carry.

If you are wearing your armour shirt, the jacket is purely temperature control.

As above, with pockets to cram stuff into, which your average MX/enduro jersey don't have.

Did you notice most of the guys riding at Romaniacs in the rain, mud etc were only wearing MX jersey, some with vest jackets. They're all too ballsy to worry about protection!
