Joe Rocket Blaster 2.0 Leather Jacket

The fit of these jackets is similar to other brands of leather sport jackets. You want to choose a jacket that is big enough for your actual chest measurement. And you want to make sure the size will be big enough for your belly (if you have one). The max belly for any size jacket is approximately 6” less than the jacket size (example: max belly for a 46 is a 40” belly). Also, have a look at Joe Rocket’s Size Chart.

Joe Rocket has taken some key features from a number of its previous styles to make a great looking and practical jacket—and now its on sale at a great price!. This jacket offers solid leather construction. It has zippered biceps vents for help with warmer weather and also has a removable thermal liner to keep you warm in the winter. A solid leather design like this is ideal for mild to colder weather riding. For improved fit, the design includes some stretchy abrasion resistant fabric in the sleeve underarm areas. This allows for a tighter fitting sleeve (to provide good armor placement), while remaining comfortable and flexible. Also on each arm, there is an adjustable strap to help hold the armor in place (adjusts to your arm size). I like the embossed black leather on the shoulders (looks sort of like carbon fiber without being too flashy). I also like the sleeve end adjustment and waist adjustment. The sleeve ends have zippers to allow you to take the jacket on and off quickly, but around on the back side of the sleeve there is an independent cuff size adjustment. With gauntlet gloves, you’ll appreciate the ability to adjust the cuff size. And the ends of the sleeves are a soft suede material. Not sure of the purpose of the suede, but it looks nice and feels good. The waist adjustment will be great for those who are more skinny than average since it allows about 4” of adjustment. I also like the soft neoprene collar which will let you do “head checks” without razor burn :). The jackets are supplied with full armor (dual density armor in the shoulders, elbows and back), and come equipped with a rear zipper for attachment to pants. Each jacket is supplied with the mating half of that zipper. With this jacket, I’d recommend the Blaster pants in either solid leather or perf leather.
