jacket question

when picking out a motorcycle jacket, how does sizing go? do they run bigger/smaller, should i get one that fits perfect or give some room?

RE: jacket question

you want itto fit tight so if you go down it don't move. the armor needs to stay in place.

all these guys are correct

snug as a bug especially leather because it does break in.

hahaha, road rash? How about flesh that is pinched off!!! due to a loose fitting set of leathers.
I will agree with the above stated. Get gear that is snug but not constricting.
