New Jacket. Need Help - 4/21/2008 9:33:11 PM    Daywalk3r187 Posts: 109 Joined: 10/2/2007 Status: offline Hey guys and ladies. Got a quick question. Im investing in a new jacket and im up in the air about these two. This is the first one http://www.teknicgear.com/catalog.php?styleid=1&pid=10 and the other is http://www.teknicgear.com/catalog.php?styleid=1&pid=212 There both 209$ I guess i just want to know which one is safer? Not to familiar with all the lingo they use in describing the jackets. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks Post #: 1

IMHO, eww to both haha. If you want to go teknic, get their higher end gear. Possibly the speedstar or the violator? (in reply to Daywalk3r187) Post #: 4

I have a teknic lighting jacket...only thing I didnt care for was it didnt have a liner, well it did, but it was a joke, in the winter it was not warm, my Icon jacket has a real liner, and you can remove the liner and the sleeve have a bunch of little holes so it breaths pretty good. but as far as which one is safer...there both leather.... _____________________________ > (in reply to Mastyx) Post #: 5
