Default A* textile jackets

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...t--610086.html

How is this?
Anybody ride with this?
The guys that bought it praised it. How much protection does it have? As good as it gets for a textile? What do I compare it to?
This jacket is 30 dollars more than the A* Textile T-Stunt.

What's the reason? Less protection? :-/ Damn me for buying a dark gray bike.
I'm getting more and more scared of crashing and I'd rather wear some protection than nothing at all.
Also, Joe rocket has a leather jacket on there for ALMOST the same price. http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...-521-JR-2.html
How do you feel about that one?

I like the first one. I've heard all sorts of bad things about textile gear, but the fact is it is better than no gear. I'll probably be getting one for my summer street riding this year.
I would not listen to a guy that says his new textile jacket doesn't let in any cold air though.

Don't know about those but I have this jacket and I like it. Doesnt flow as much air as I thought but like atown said its better than nothing. I wear a S-MX Air-Flo Leather Jacket when I'm hitting the twistys though.
