Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 Textile Jacket

By originalbryan from Huntsville, AL

Pros: Came with a rain liner, which I didn't realize when I ordered. Has a zipper in the back and snaps in the front for attaching to pants. Very cool in hot weather.

Cons: None.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: When winter time rolls around, I'll probably be buying a leather jacket.

Pros: Absolutely love the jacket. The mesh lets the air flow through like you are wearing gauze. Armor fits pretty good at elbows, shoulders, back etc. I am loosing weight, when I get a too small to wear it, I am buying another one!

Cons: Armor tighteing strap at forearm needs broader adjustment range. Sleeve too tight at shoulder/sleeve seem., cuts off blood flow to arm.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Tight in the armpits (if you have brig deltoids, it may squeeze you a bit) Needs ability to tighten the forearm armor positioning strap a little tighter (velcro instead of 3 snaps?)

Comments: Buy one, even with minor flaws it will save you from that awful heat buildup of standard MC jackets.
