Ok...it's a Joe rocket sonic 2.o, if you've ever seen one it has panels that go from the inside of the wrist up to the armpit and down to the waist that zip off. The stitching is heavily reinforced on the zips so I'm not worried about the stitches popping, and it's not like I'm gonna rip through the sleeves like the hulk. It's just where the leather folds over itself in the ditch that put pressure on my arms. With those panels zipped off its much more comfortable. It was a clearance item (along with all the other sonic 2.0 jackets) because it's an old model. Still can't return it but it does still have all the tags so if I absolutely can't stand it I can put on ebay or craigslist.org as new with tags and get at least what I paid. I'm gonna wear it at night after work a few hours every day and if it doesn't break a little I'll put it in the dryer on no heat with a few tennis balls...or hammers lol. I'll use a conditioning cream as a last effort, they have the potential to rot seam stitching and I don't want that to happen.
