i cant find anywhere what people think about this jacket. i personally like how it looks, since its more solid colors then logos. has anyone used the jacket before and if so what are your thoughts.

i have seen reviews on the 1 piece but not the jacket.

yea i got that much from various sites but nothing from anyone who actually owns one

i want to know things about it like how the fit is, does the ventilation work? or is this more of a cold ride jacket. is the protection right where it needs to be and does it feel like it would survive a fall. basically is it worth the money to get or get something not so expensive.

This is just My Opinion, but if you are already willing to fork over $600 for just a jacket, I would spend a bit more and get Dainese. I just sold a Dainese Flash Jacket and purchased a TZ1 2 piece suit. While I am not unhappy with the Alpinestars, the overall jacket just does not compare.

Dainese is more comfortable, the protection is better, the quality of the leather is better. You would definately be better off with one of these jackets...

Besides, that SM-X Jacket looks like a Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Jacket ;)
