Thanks for all the feedback. I did a lot of reading before making this decision. Dr VTwin made several positive remarks that swayed me. Also everyone who has had or seen them say the quality and weight of the vest is extraordinary. Plus, who are we trying to fool? Of course I want to love like Jax. All women want to screw him.

I want to order one but a little nervous about the sizing. Returning a vest for a different size is not an option because I am in Canada and would have to deal with the Duty each time.
Little Joe's says order one size bigger than tee shirt. If i wear an xl tee and order a 2xl vest would this fit over a leather jacket ?? I wear a FXRG leather jacket.
Anyone have this issue ???

I had the same problem. I also normally wear an XL T-Shirt, or collared shirt. I ordered a 2XL Little Joe's vest, and it fit perfect over a shirt, or a light sweatshirt. However, it was too tight to fit over a heavier jacket (fully snapped up). I exchanged it for a 3XL, and that size fit perfectly over a jacket, but was kind of big when just wearing a shirt.

Tough choice since I don't really know how thick your leather jacket is, or if you will be primarily wearing the cut over the jacket vice a shirt/sweatshirt.

I hate that argument...
How much is your head/body worth!!!

So if I make a great jacket, vest, and or helmet....

Are you going to buy the combo for $10,000 bucks?

Nothing will save you if the factors add up- inertia, impact mass, angles.

You take the ride with the risks- I grew up riding with jeans, boots, and a tee.

When in doubt- power out!

I agree, it's a ridiculous argument.

When I ordered my lil joes, I had to measure myself a couple differnt ways. This resulted in a perfect fit. I'd call and talk to them instead of ordering a generic size.

I wear a large in T shirts and bought a XL vest. It fits me fine but would definitely not fit over my FXRG comfortably.

Lil Joes is a top of the line product. You can pay less for something else, but it will BE less.:icon_bricks

+1...call and talk to them, and while your at it tell them you are a member of the HDForums and you'll get a better price than you can find it any where.

Mine fits over my leather jacket just fine but my jacket is just a mid weight jacket so it all works out.
