Need opinion on potential jacket

My buddy is offering to sell me his mesh joe rocket jacket for $140... One catch though, he's been in an accident which wasnt severe. He sent me pix of the jacket and they look good. I heard that mesh are only good for one get off and lose their durability after that. I was just seeing what you guys think... Because his accident wasnt that bad, so I dunno if its even worth getting a used jacket like that. I want to invest in a leather jacket but its a lil out of my price range for now lol... Let me know what you guys think

This makes me say what!:eek:

At $140 you can find all kinds of jackets. Hell for $9 more you can get a nice Jackethttp://www.newenough.com/street/closeouts/leather_suits_jackets_and_pants/scorpion/all_in_leather_motorcycle_jacket.html. At least I did yesterday.

I buy most of my gear at Newenough and their close out section has saved me a lot of money for the things we need most like gas and tires.

Check out leatherup.com I bought this jacket on here for cheap. Well made though, armor and all. Think I paid 80 or 90 bucks. They have quite a few good deals.

^grrrr you gota 6 pack! LOL

:D Only when I'm riding ;)

Is there any difference between a name brand jacket and gettn a generic one? Or is it just preference and the technology is all that matters?

I don't think so. I'm sure some off brands can be crap but my jacket seems to be well made. The only thing I don't like about it since the sleeves zip off if it rains water leaks through the zippers. I rain jacket would fix that though.

Textile super cheap. http://www.newenough.com/street/closeouts/bargain_basement/teknic/freestyle_textile_motorcycle_jacket.html

Get your stuff from newenough. go to the pony to try it on then but online.

I have this jacket and only wear it in the summer. It's pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the rain liner is not removable and traps sweat.Since I have been wearing wicking undershirts it hasn't really bothered me. I call it my power ranger coat and it has held up very well especially since it only cost $60.
