    I know I'm fucking sexy and cool, but you guys don't have to get all sorts of dramatic just because I blocked a few (Err most) of you. That's like super clingy. Just let it go, let it go.

    I ended up going with a Spidi Warrior Pro in size 52. Sleeve and shoulder sizing is just about perfect. The waist has a couple straps for adjustment, but even on their tightest the jacket is still big in the stomach and waste area. It's not enough to be uncomfortable, just fits loose. I'd be worried it might ride up in a crash, exposing parts, but I zip it to my pants most days.

    Price ended up being about $760 with the back protector. I still wear this jacket daily, I do love it. It's got a liner which I never use (I wear a heated jacket when it's cold), and in the heat it flows pretty good.

    Since I didn't explicitly say it above, I still recommend and use them for leather work.
