Question about Jackets
Hey guys, I have a question about jackets.
I currently own this jacket: Scorpion Tornado The collar on this jacket seems to dig into my neck so when I am riding if I turn my head to the left or to the right the collar scratches and digs into my neck\bottom of my chin. Is this a common problem with jackets with big collars cause I have noticed jackets that have no collar what so ever. Or is this because I simply have a jacket that doesn't fit? The jacket fits perfectly around my entire body with or without the liner it's just the collar that gives me problems. Thanks for the input |

Yea collars on some jackets can be a pain in the ass. I had to try on a ton of jackets before I could find one that didn't jab me in the neck when I got into the crouched ninjette position. You can try to modify the collar, live with it, or get a new jacket

How can you modify the collar? Cut it and duck tape it? haha
But seriously I got this as a gift and don't want to trash $220 ya know, so anyone that has modded a jacket to fix the collar issue please let me know what you did. |

And also, I am considering getting a full leather jacket, just basic black and white or black. Is a textile jacket with Pads (shoulder and elbows and back) more protective then a leather jacket without pads or not?

I have the same issue with my Shift Avenger. After the two days I spent at MSF it looked like I tried to hang myself because of the raw red line around my neck where the collar was rubbing.
