Time to clean out the closet. Got a few items that don't fit quite right since I've shrunk a bit. If you want photos, just let me know an email and I will provide, since the new board doesn't have a gallery running yet.

- Some of the dye from the elbow leather leeched into the white mesh on the sleeves after a wet ride. It's not bad, but it's not show room perfect. Probably could rinse out, I just never bothered.

Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh Jacket. Size XXL, Grey SOLD
Two questions for you...1. Do the pants have any give?...I am a 35ish... 2. Is the jacket more of a winter or summer jacket?
Thanks,
Chuck
The pants have elastic in the band so there's some give and they are really more like a 35 than a 34 anyways.
The Jacket - I'm guessing you mean the cortech one
I'd say it's a 3 season, spring-fall. With the liners in it's quite windproof and warm. The outerliner is water proof also, so it'll keep you dry - though the exterior of the jacket is going to be wet.
Once you remove the liners, it's quite cool. The majority of the chest is mesh and there's mesh in the sleeves. Also the should pad air-rams really do work - I thought it was just a gimmick when I bought it.
Woth the dual liners I was able to use it on days that started cool and got pretty hot by having the windproof liner in at first then removing it when it got hot.
The grey on the chest and arms in the photo is mesh

That the info you're looking for?
Yes and no...The pants were right, easy enough...but I was actually talking about the rocket jacket...but you may have sold me with your description of the Cortech, my concern is the size...XL tends to be snug in the chest.
Cortech is an American company, so they cut a little more generously. Right now, Rod has 1st dibs on the jackets - trying to work a meet up tomorrow
The Joe Rocket Jacket is a summer jacket. Think 100% perforated leather... but not leather

Got other plans on the hook for this evening. Then Rod get's his shot. IF he's not interested the next step of the plan is to bring stuff to Rhodes... Or if you're really hot to check the stuff out - I'll be around this weekend too.,

Ok, Rod is coming to look at the Joe Rocket - so it seems that the Cortech is still up for grabs.
The Cortech is pretty generous in the body. When I got it I was 10-15 pounds heavier at 5'11 and hovering around the mid 190's. I've never been chesty, but I got the wide back, big shoulders and arms which makes things tough to fit. That jacket fit me fine w/o liners or with the wind liner in. The padding in the insulated liner added some bulk which made it snug in the arms for me - but ok in the body.
Let me know if you want to come check it out before wednesday - otherwise I'll plan on brining stuff next week to Rhodes.
Ok cool...I will probably have to check it out on Weds....Thanks
You guys going to Rhodes tomorrow? If so, I'll pile the gear in the cage for you.
I am still up in the air regarding attendance...I will let you know asap. Thanks for keeping us in mind!
Someone bring a scale so we can weigh yuu for drinks. [wine]
Hey guys, if you're still interested let me know - otherwise I'm going to start farming these out to a larger audience

Still interested in the jacket...I will hopefully be able to make it to Rhodeside this Wed.
Time to come to jebus... if you want the gear, get on the horse. A rock just smashed up my rear hugger and selling this gear off will get me a new one.
