jacket in review is from the honda collection "project h" leather jacket. it may be corny but the old english h on the jacket matches my tattoo. its even on the same arm.

couldnt resist picking up this jacket, right price at the right time. its funny 3 leather and 2 textile, multiple pairs of gloves layin around its getting bad...

anyway back on topic. jacket is made by parker synergies/speed and strength. its a race cut style jacket which tends to be my preference. oddly probably the reason i have 5 jackets also. unlike relaxed fit jackets it hugs you tighter, this jacket was so comfortable fresh out the bag! elastic with snap adjusters on the lower sleeve. a very good waist adj. too. velcro and elastic straps down low. armor is the same as joe rocket. this means that u can upgrade to the joe rocket or forcefield t-pro insert and have top level protection. it also works very well with my knox contour. probably the best fit for an athletic build. quality is right up there with a*. im big on upgrading the stock back protector, especially a*s and with this jacket i would ride with the stock back pad and not be worried too bad. there is even a pad sewed into around the base of the spine. i have added speed and strength to my list of one piece prospects now that i see the build a nice jacket. this one will see some serious mileage.

comes with a zip in vest liner, one inside, and two ouside pocket. ventilation is adjustable with zippered vents. id say it has a pretty good temperature range.

pros
comfort
good armor
looks good not too flashy

cons
no zipper for pant attachment

pics were taken with the knox contour underneath
