Level one Done

[KrackerJack]

Well done with level one of the msf course, at first it seemed like why did i just spend all that money for this? But don't worry after about 2-3 hours it starts picking up and getting better. Level 2 tomorrow in the rain.... what fun eh?


ps: I tried on some jackets today,ICON, and the medium sleeves fit perfect but the damn thing was so snug it was hard to move. The large fits my torso better but the sleeves are longer than I want them. should i just go for large?

I'd say to keep trying different jackets on until you find one that fits well. The jacket should be fairly snug, btw. It is good to, if possible, try jackets on and then sit on your bike as well. Sometimes gear that doesn't feel so great when standing upright feels perfect in the riding position.

Yip, what he said...

Also, leather will conform to your body after a while. The higher priced ones (read: THICKER leather) will obviously take a while longer to 'break in'...

I'm short and fat, thus I run into the same problem you mention. I opt for the snug fit to get sleeves that don't impede on my riding. Just don't eat big lunches when you're out riding!

Well, tried on about every brand I could find, and the style i wanted. But all seemed the same, the large looks like thats the way im going.
