I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this jacket? I currently have the SMX AIRFLO but like the looks of the new MX1 in red. I want to know how the feel and fit is thanks.

the jacket looks functional.
-reference the zipper to join the optional pants together, if it dosnt go all the way around, some dont, it will not be very strong. i had a jacket/pants pair where the zipper went all the way around, it separated on the track with a 40mph getoff's. you will need leather pants w/ knee pucks for the track, if you stunt, canyon ride.
-if you buy this jacket get the optional back protector.
-it may be too hot to use mid summer even considering its perforated leather + removable liner. consider an additional JoeRocket phoenix jacket or something.

try it on at a local store, with the back protector in place. buy the same things online.

 

Ya you didn't really tell me anything i didn't know nor did you tell me what i asked. The jacket I currently have is very much like the MX-1 thats why I am asking if anyone has used it personally. Also I already have the astar track pants. I wouldn't wear joe rocket if you paid me. Its crap gear and i have seen way too many people get hurt wearing it.

 

i am sure the fitment will work, the range of motion on a sportbike is low, not like buying a pair of khaki Dockers. you already have a jacket like this, the difference will not save your life. try it on in a local store bro.

come mid summer and the 100F temperatures limits what people wear. if not a phoenix jacket than a safety jacket:

 

I said screw it and picked one up for $429 shipped. If i don't like it, it will just be added to my collection of gear. or sold if its that bad but i really doubt that.
