i am looking for a good deal on a nylon MC jacket. It need some reflective proof tries and to have some of it be flouressent in color, per my CO. So with that is mind I like the joe rocket phenix 5 but there must be better choices out there.. And if not $149 is the best price I have seen.. Thanks

Poor OP would look like a Colorado Spinner (fishing lure) in either.

He said he wanted Hi-Viz.

Cheapest place I know of. Bought a helmet off them a couple years back. |

You could get whatever jacket fits your type of riding and use a hi viz vest over it when required. I have a Firstgear Kilimanjaro Jacket in black.
My unit has a motorcycle safety program and after I took the MSF course they give us one of these: Icon Hi Viz Vest ETA: I picked up that jacket from another rider through the www.advrider.com forums for under $200. |

cant go wrong with Olympia. My 4 year old X-Moto is right beside me.
As for the required reflective bits (look at the base and service orders) I hated my Kilamanjaro. with a passion. The Icon vest satisifes ALL DOD requirements for bright color and reflective striping. Wife and I both have one. |
| I used to juts wear the ICON vest over my uniform. I feel like getting a jacket with a few reflective areas is going to be received as well as PT gear that already has reflective borders/lettering......still needs a PT belt. So I'd get whatever jacket I liked, then grabbed the construction orange/yellow reflective vest to avoid any bitching. |

Quoted: I'm partial to the TourMaster Transition 3. http://lghttp.21787.nexcesscdn.net/80A2AB/magento/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/300x300/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/4035025.JPG A guy I met was wearing one and it was so functional. I love my Transition 3.0. The only issue is there's not much neck protection. It's supposed to be a fall/winter/spring jacket, so it should have a higher neck line. However, I just wear a neck gaiter down below my chin.
