I bought the Knox urban pro mk 3 online. 

 

It came today and it doesn't fit me right. 

Im an XL in my other jackets and it is much smaller. It's supposed to be fitted but it's just too tight. Sports/gym all my life mean I've an 18 inch neck. The neck is choking me. There's none is the local suppliers so I don't know if the XXL will fit or if the necks are larger too. 

the xl is also known as a size 44

i went for the first time this year and it was amazing (obviously i cant comment on how its changed from the 80's), the weather obviously played a huge part in it but it was great.  The locals are friendly, the police leave you alone (unless you actually do something wrong).    The mountain course is so much fun to ride, and now it is one way for the entirety of the TT timetable it is a lot better.  No more mad Sunday carnage and quite quiet at some times.  

 

 

my first time was in 87 went with three mates the weather was a bit dodgy at times but we still had a good time good racing ( first time i ever saw a guy called JOEY DUNLOP) and at nights we went round douglas (i t was quicker to walk on the road with all the bikes on the pavement and people how times have changed) and later on we always went to the palace lido that was an eye opener brilliant

So it looks like summer may be on the way and I e already swapped the textile trousers for my arimid jeans and pulled the fleece lining out of my textile jacket. my jacket has some chest and arm vents but I'm wondering if I should commit to a full on summer jacket. 

 

I commute to work which takes just over an hour and is 50/50 motorway/London traffic. 

 

What jacket do you lot recommend for the hottest days of the year. There's plenty of A rated mesh jackets but these don't seem safe enough for a slide at speed. 

 

Knox do their AAA rated mesh second skin type jacket but at £380 it's also pricy for the few days of the year I'll use it. 

 

RST do an A rated mesh jacket with a built in airbag for £250 + subscription. For some reason the airbag version and the regular are both rated A. 

 

Or there's the RST ventilator which is AA at £170.

 

I've had a flick through sbs and these are the ones that stand out. Ive ignored leather as I assume it would be hot as hell in London traffic.

 

 

remember the old saying :  don't cast a clout till may be out
