Fat boy jacket
« on: March 24, 2014, 10:15:52 PM »
So my jacket seems to have shrunk a bit over the winter.   :dunno  I am looking for a "relaxed fit" jacket that I can wear over a heated liner.  Skinny riders need not reply....

I am a fan of Joe Rocket.  They come in many X's.  I like the Hemp jacket, but I think it is out of production.  Of course in CA a jackets ability to keep out water is not too critical.
Maybe you have looked here www.motorcyclegear.com.  They have very good write ups that usually talk about the items fit.

haha Yeah I just went through this. I bought a Gerbings liner for $50. Guy had a older FirstGear Kilimanjaro 2xl he was also selling that I tried on over the Gerbings with the Kil liner. I bought it as well for another $50. It just worked well together. I knew there was no way Id get that liner under my other jack after trying it on. It ended up being easiest to have a summer and winter jacket.

 I feel like the kid in A Christmas story though..."I CANT PUT MY ARMS DOWN" with the double liners LOL

 The Kilimanjaro without any liners I feel like I'm rattling around in a bounce house.  The Weird time of year when its 30's in the moring and high 60's in the afternoon that neither set up is ideal.
