HJC Sport III Fuel Jacket The fit and finish of this jacket is VERY NICE!!!!! I,m 6'2'' knocking on 200lbs and a size 46 fits me fine. I can ware a 44 but it a little tight. In my mind it always best to order one size larger the what you chest measures. I picked it up for $247 buxs and here are a few places to look for one. Just e-mail this guy ATHER1023@aol.com or go to his store http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&category=36124 and ask him what he has in your color and size. http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/...ckets_pants.htm

Here are Paul's Comments (Form www.newenough.com) The Sport 3 is a new design from HJC. We've had great luck in the past with HJC products and have enjoyed great customer feedback (we formerly have sold the Retro and Retro II styles). This jacket improves upon previous designs with sharp new graphics and improved features. I think the raised padding inserts in the front and back of jacket give it a great look (those panels have a carbon fiber-look leather over them that really looks good). The armor system is a combination of memory foam elbow inserts and a waffle type foam in the shoulders along with a memory foam spine pad. This combination provides good protection and is very comfortable to use on a daily basis. For cold weather use, HJC includes a removable vest type insulated liner. Its plush feeling--much better than provided with most jackets. It should be very effective in cold weather. For warmer weather, the jacket is equipped with shoulder air scoops (made popular with this year's higher end racing suits) and side zippered vents. These vents are cut to create a scoop for air passing through the jacket. For exhaust, there are two zippered vents in the back of the jacket. Overall quality and thickness of the leather used is top notch and would compare favorably with any of the popular, high-end sport jackets. Pair the jacket with a the matching leather Sport pants below for a great looking combination. Fit of the jackets is pretty close to standard although they do run a bit small in the larger sizes. Use the chart below to select a jacket size based upon your chest and belly measurements. You'd want to pick the smallest jacket that would be big enough for both your chest and belly. If you have a big chest (relative your waist, use the side waist adjustment tabs to cinch the waist down to get a good fit.
