Xitem motorcycle jackets are good enough protective clothing? I am a first time rider and the bike shop'm vests. I found what appears to be a really Cordura jacket made by Xitem for a great price - $ 69 brand new. But I do not know enough about the brand motorcycle jacket whether it's a good buy or not. Can someone enlighten us if I buy it or find another brand?
Also, I want a mesh / jacket type of airflow. Leather is too full.
The cheapest rate is also cheaply made, sewing and equipment will not be as good as others. I would recommend going to a brand like Alpinestars and Joe Rocket. Remember, this is your only protection in an accident while you want the best you can afford. Look for CE approved armor in shoulders and elbows and some back protectors (all have at least one pocket for a back protector) btw the link in the comments refer to people off the armor of protection because is uncomfortable, not really sing good and defeats the purpose of having an armor to start. )
Buy cheap, buy twice .............. only problem is with gear bike, you might not have the chance to buy twice.
$ 69? WOW is less than 30 pounds. It must be made of pure garbage.
Buy leather. your thoughts on it was "too" are very bad.
Fabic jackets, even very good, just to rip bit high speed.
As I said, you can buy cheap, buy twice.
