Another Jacket.

With the warm weather coming I have been looking onto the Vanson Mark2 Cobra due to the ventilation and almost all year capabilities. Then in time getting a pair of pants. After reading this thread I was also looking at 2 piece sets.

Which would offer the best value / protection in the long run or is it a wash?

Finally got one. I wound up going back to WCW and getting the Vanson Cobra 3. Ron gave me a good deal and the jacket did come stock with the Armor ( not the rigid plastic but the soft kind. I will see which flavor of the soft armor is actually in there. The jacket did not come with the back protector which is being ordered. That will be an extra 70.00 when it gets here. I think one of the best selling points for me was the ventilation system it has. Even new, the jacket is quite comfortable and can't wait for it to get a little more

If you are going to spend the money check out Barnacle Bill's and have a custom made for you.

Here is the jacket i got last year. Make sure you check www.newenough.com for prices. They were the cheapest for me when i did my searching last year.

We all know ive tested out my joe rocket a few times the last being a highside at pocono raceway beginning of last season. Shit held up great numerous times. Until kennedy used that suit that is.

. No concerns whatsoever about the quality of the product.

Last season I got a deal on the Motogp Kangroo compression suit through one of my sponsors. Fit is incredible, light as all hell, and comfortable. Cannot comment on durability (knock on wood) didnt crash during the last race season. Hopefully I wont find out this season.
