Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a 'green' jacket to go with my ride. :D

I am looking at this one on riders discount. http://www.ridersdiscount.com/street-ge ... 106396.php

Just want to get peoples thoughts on protection it offers. How good/what does "Rock Tex™ 600 outer shell" do for you in a crash? I am guessing no where near a leather jacket?

If you know of a shop/online where I can buy a kwaka leather jacket let me know :kuda:
Regards,
Vivek

hi mate, no idea what rocktex is but this looks like a more recent version of mine, i crashed in it a few weeks back while commuting to work ~60kph and its pharked, saved my skin though. definately would not want to crash doing warp7 wearing one of these.
cheers
Matt

Vivek, the last time I was in an AMX shop in Bayswater, they had some Kawasaki leather jackets for sale.
This is their website: http://www.amxoutlets.com/contact.php
