My local dealer made me a smokin' deal on a Moto GP jacket. It's a combination mesh/textile jacket. It has full CE armour in the right places. They do everything on this jacket with zip in layers. The first layer, right under the mesh is a windproof/waterproof liner. Under that, there is an insulated layer. I like the concept, but I'm not too sure of the protection. It may protect you, but you can bet that this is a throw away jacket after contact with the asphalt. Anyone have one of these jackets? | ||

I have some motogp gear (all leather) and the jacket you are talking about sounds a lot like my spidi net jacket (codura material) anyways I high sided with that jacket on and it held up, rashed a little, made a small tear but I hit hard and she held up. I pretty much prefer to always wear leather but if you get a nice codura jacket with hard armour (not dual density foam) then it should last more than one crash. The key is just dont crash!

Whatever jacket you get, I highly recommend the hard "GP" type armour, hard plastic shell with foam backing. Armour Types Explained
