I am curious on how good tex jackets hold up after a crash.

 

i went down at about 30 in a parking lot,was only wearing my joe rocket jacket..i slide mostly on my arms and it hardly scratched..but ive since painted it so you cant really see it..

 

Im not sure what type of textile jacket you are talking about, but I have a Joe Rocket mesh summer jacket that I have crashed in a dozen times or so at all different speeds including 55+ and is still barely damaged. you can tell on one shoulder that it has been down, but only if you look close.

 

I haven't picked one out that i want. I only have about 150 to spend. I want something that should keep you warm when riding in 50 degree weather (florida winters). Any suggestions? I would prefer something with removable liner and armour.

 

This is my Joe Rocket Ballistic after a slow speed (25-30mph) Crash, I would have been fine but it rolled up my arm. The elbow padding saved me from breaking my elbow though. Thumbs up to that....

 

yeah, the textile jackets are nice, you stay cooler, but everyone ive seen crash in one of those the sleeves tend to roll up on them....

 

Well Paw Paw crashed at 110mph with a mesh jacket it got messed up but he didnt get hurt ......other than loosing some of his butt...lol the jeans didnt hold up too good but the jacket worked great. :YEAH

 

I crashed at about 40 and my alpinestars t-stunt jacket ripped in several places. I didn't get any upper body road rash. I sewed up the rips and I still use it.......sorry, no pics.

 

crashed at about 80 in a joe rocket ballistic. held up fine. melted in a few places but i got no rash
