Default Buffalo Rocket Jacket

Hey

First post... please go easy

I'm a pillion on my bf's bike, and this summer we hope to cover a fair few miles, so at the mo I'm looking at getting a new jacket, trousers, boots etc.

I've don't want to spend mega amounts, but at the same time I want something fairly decent, that is comfy and fits well. I've seen these, quite like them from the pics/description etc...

I've not been to J & S yet to try these on yet, but wondering if it's quite good for £80/£110?

Sorry, I'm new at all this.... but thanks in advance

I have/d a buffalo textile jacket and had 3 off's - 2 on my ped and once on the SV. Stood up fairly well..just a cig burn in the front of it. Just retiring the jacket now!

I have a pair of A* SMX plus's and they are so comfortable and feel very protective! Not sure how the 4's will feel though.

Oh - and those links don't seem to be working for me.

I wore Buffalo kit all the way through my DAS course as its what was provided. I can't comment on crash protection but it was very warm and 100% waterproof. Pretty comfy aswell but quite bulky. Overall though, seemed good value for money.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think its definately a good shout to go and try this jacket on, it seems to get good reviews online, and as long as it fits me well then it's all good
