Joe Rocket....??

Hey guys, sorry if this is a reposted question, but I did a search and couldnt find hardly anything on these forums about this jacket... so here it goes...

What do you guys think about this jacket Joe Rocket Rio

It is the Joe Rocket Rio jacket. Looks like a pretty good jacket to me, with ce shoulders/elbows/back and a zip in / out liner... so what gives? is there something wrong with this jacket or have I actually found something decent at an affordable price?


thanks for any input...

Chris


EDIT*** I also just found this jacket... any good? Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0

i've got the mesh jacket. mine's the phoenix though... same as rio but mine doesn't have a thing where you can zip in the optional vest/liner. it's a great warm weather jacket. it's comfortable and i have no complaints. i also have two JR atomics. bought a black one with white stripe and got a black and blue one (matches my bike!) free from someone. it's a pretty good jacket for cooler weather. it's got the zip out thermal vest. quiite a few guys i ride with have the atomic... decent jacket at an affordable price

Jacket looks pretty nice, i`ve not personally had any dealing with Joe rocket. Sorry Can`t help.

not too impressed with their products... they just seem to be poorly constructed and poor quality. but i guess you get what you pay for.

I got joe rocket jacket with padded back,sholders,elbows zip out liner love it and I got the pants with the armor and the sliders on them.

I have the supermoto jacket and gloves. I have had them for a year now and they are great.

here is my favorite joe rocket jacket. to bad they stopped making them because nicky hayden went to alpinestars.

Not trying to change your mind about the JR jacket, but I have an Icon Timax jacket and its awesome. Alot of people say that they are all for bling, but I think its really well constructed and feel that it would protect me if I went down. I got mine shipped for $178 from these guys CLICKY, but it doesn't look like they are carrying some of the 2005 gear, mabye call them to see if they have any left and they would probably hook you up. Also check out these guys, they have free shipping on any order over $50 and some of the best deals I have seen. I got my helmet for $192 shipped and it retails for $280. Heres the link for them. You might need to call them too about the timax, since Icon has the new timax2 jackets. What ever you get, check out the 2 links I gave you, they have the best deals I have found online. Good luck

+1...I got the same JR Honda Textile only on red....i love it...also have the joerocket super-moto gloves..love them to...shorties with no cuffs

I've got about 6+ pieces of rocket, some new some several yrs. old. I've had great luck w/ it all. Only complaint is a tank bag that "lightened" abit, but serving well, on several bikes. One'a those big ones, i put cutdown silicone shelf liners (wal-mart) in it. It's amazing the amount of stuff, you can stuff!!!!!!!

I'm blessed!!!!!!!!!!(always!!!!!!!) at 6'4" 275, i can always seem to find HUGE stuff, on/ off season, that they know might be hard to find "humans" to fit!!!!!!!!!!! Almost all my rocket, was 40-50% off!!!!!!! 4x rocks!!!!!!!!!

I'm upp'n to all leather, but I'm wait'n to decide, what to do w/ my rocket. they have served well. But admittedly, I've never gone down in it. Clean and free, only smoke'n harleys!!!!!!!!!! Ripp'n

yup +1 on the supermoto just got mine
