Question Fieldsheer Jacket?

Just sold my Tourmaster Cortech 3/4 on ebay.....I got it with my first bike and it was a little too big for me. So now I've been looking at some textile jackets with armor. I think it's officially between the Joe Rocket Rasp or Fieldsheer Congo Sport Jacket (textile, not the mesh one). Best I can find on the Rasp is $180, but I can get the Fieldsheer for around $130. Anybody have any experience with Fieldsheer and also how is sizing? I'm leaning towards a medium. Thanks.

I have the Fieldsheer track paddock and I absolutely love it.


I am pretty petite so I had a hard time finding one small enough for me, but couldn't ask for a better fit than with this one. Armor in it is awesome as well.

That Joe Rocket Rasp jacket has some wierd sizing on it. I bought it and then returned it after i realized it didnt fit me worth a crap. The medium was too small the and large was made for a bear. The way the padding was set up in the jacket it would just slide off and then with the smaller size I could barely move. The fieldsheer stuff seems to fit much better.

I just recieved a Fieldsheer Super Sport IV from Kneedraggers $234.00 the other day. The quality seems excellent, so far no complaints. I am 6'3" 185lbs and the fit is good. Anything I found that fits my shoulders would be slightly big in the waist, but the adjustable straps worked fine. Check out the leather Fieldsheer gear from Kneedraggers or the close outs from Brockton Cycle you might find some good gear at surprising prices.
