Good points, but I've "road tested" Joe Rocket's textile jackets, and First Gear's Mesh Tex. Both performed well, and were in good shape after the accidents. The Joe Rocket was totaled by the EMT's , who like to use scissors on anything you wear (lost my pants, too).

 

The jacket should perform unless you're planning to go down at high speeds, and slide to a stop. Leathers will perform better, but may not provide adequate protection unless you get the real thing- racing leathers. At moderate speeds, textiles might "melt" but should prevent road rash. The fabric & the pads are considered sacrificial protection; they hold together long enough to ride out the accident, then it's time for new gear.

 

Best, racing leathers. Next, everything else- including most of the leather jackets you see.

OK, my wife's just showed up. She wears a size 12, (sometimes a 10 if they run large) ordered the large. Suppose to be size 12/14 but she can't get them on. Not sure if they were mismarked or run that small. I will be calling New enough shortly. Not sure what they will do because they are already out of XL.

I had the advantage of measuring my wife with the tape at time of ordering and use their sizing chart . She wears a medium according to the chart . I hope all does go well .
