Joe Rocket - Meteor 4 Textile Jacket
I picked up this jacket almost a month ago. I got it on clearence at newenough for just over 100.00 shipped. Ive been lucky enough to ride on cooler damp days as well as sunny warm days. So far im extremely pleased with the jacket. I have yet to be Hot (with the vents open) on warm days or cold (without the liner) on cool damp days.
Originally the jacket felt very heavy (actual weight) and stiff. After a few rides it loosened up a little and doesnt feel too heavy for comfort. It has armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back. Also included is a removeable liner. I have yet to ride with the liner in, as its been fairly comfortable riding weather.
The venting works pretty good. Ive been kept cool on all of my rides on warm days. Like most jackets, it gets pretty warm while sitting in traffic. What doesnt help matters is that im completely covered as it is. I wear work boots, jeans, my new jacket, gloves, and a full faced helmet.
The venting zippers are a little hard to get to while in motion. Sometimes it takes a little persuation to get the velcro open and the zipper up or down. The zippers for the pockets are the same way.
I like the overall look of the jacket. I had my doubts when looking at it online but after seeing it in person it looks much better. The fit is good on me. Fits good in the chest (no adjustment) and everything else can be adjusted. Sleeves can be snugged up to hold armor in place, waist can be snugged up as well. The wrists are a good size for covering up gloves on cool mornings (so air doesnt vent into the jacket and accross your back)
If you dont like riding with armor it can be easily taken out through pockets on the outside of the jacket. The reflective stripe is a nice touch. It is easily seen indoors while on a hanger, so i would assume its much brighter in the sun outdoors.

I must say that the service i recieved from newenough.com was amazing. I couldnt believe that i got an email from a sales person and a follow up after the purchase. Tracking was made easy and it arrived sooner than i anticipated.
I will definately be doing all of my riding aparel purchases from newenough.
Hope this helps if you were looking at this jacket.
