Joe Rocket Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket

Pros: Light weight, Low cost, impact pads and back protector, Very Cool!
Cons: For really hot weather riding only. You'll freeze when the temperature drops a little.

I opened the box and pulled the Phoenix jacket out. The left elbow, forearm and shoulder looked like balled and tangled fishnet stalkings. The back was highly abraded and ripped through at a number of points and the right forearm and elbow were slightly ...

Pros: Light weight, cool, low cost. Much, much better than nothing. Great for low speed.
Cons: Unlikely to protect you at any substantial speed. Padding and nylon are very light.

I bought this jacket due to a lack of any sort of leathers at the store I shop at. As we all know, the typical leather jackets for fashion are not in the same league as leathers for riding a motorcycle. (Even if they are called "motorcycle jackets".) ...

Pros: Super light, looks cool, gives you that "safer" feeling
Cons: Sizing, huge shoulder pads, not backpack friendly

JACKET FEATURES: -mesh material to allow for maximum breatheability -high-density foam padding in shoulders, elbows, and back -zip in/zip out wind-breaker liner -velcro tighteners at wrists and waist -button snaps near elbow area and at ...

Pros: Cool,Lightweight, Armored
Cons: None

I'm a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and I'm required to wear protective equipment because while riding a motorcycle the military claims that they won't provide medical coverage for me if I get in an accident. I bought the Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket...

Pros: Cool, Armor, Lightweight
Cons: Sizing is off. Button Snaps. Made out of polyester. Not CE rated Armor.

This jacket is definately great for allowing as much airflow as possible during hot-weather riding. When the temps get up into the 90's, it is better to wear this than just a T-Shirt. Wearing anything bulkier with more protection means sweating like...

Pros: Allows air flow, comfortable, light, double armor, excellent price, different colors.
Cons: Does not offer "full" protection, polyester.

I bought this jacket mainly because I did not want to risk getting a heat stroke! While motor vehicle accidents are always a risk with motorcyclists, I think riders (including myself) underestimate the possibility of getting a heat stroke. It's common...

Pros: Excellent armor, great hot weather protection.
Cons: Begins to fray at cuffs easily.

I bought one of these jackets with a lot of trepedition. I am a very firm believer in using the very best riding gear at all times. So when I saw this jacket, basically made of mesh (600 Denier I believe)with armor installed in several necessary spots, I...

Pros: light weight and very comfortable. open weave lets air flow through.
Cons: only really worn on warm days

I have bought one of these jackets and actually the pants as well. They are extremely comfortable and are not restrictive at all. I bought the phoenix for two main reasons:1) It is a very sharp looking jacket and 2) in the summer when I would not want...

Pros: Cool Breezy Good protection Good value
Cons: Wasn't invented soon enough for me.

I've been wanting to purchase this jacket since the first time I saw one. Now I'll feel comfortable on those 90 degree days, and be protected too.

I plan on making it serve me in the cold too by layering under it, and wearing a regular cold...
