Joe Rocket Hemp jacket

Has anyone used this jacket? What are your thoughts about it? I am looking for a jacket that will breathe well but still provide protection in the case of an accident. For those of you who have used it, would you recommend this jacket? I love how low the price is, however that makes me question the quality of it.

All of your thoughts/opinions are appreciated!

Thank you

There are 25 reviews of it on Revzilla. Just scroll to the bottom of the page. People rated it 4.7/5. Seems like a decent jacket to me.

If it helps at all, I was going to buy this jacket and would probably have it had I not bought my jacket with my bike. It seems like a decent jacket, and the reviews seem to reflect that.

I just want a jacket that will have great ventilation since it's ridiculously hot here in Florida, and a jacket that will provide protection as well as look good. I also love the fact that it is only $130 too.

I managed to find a vendor selling the Teknic Supervent for a reasonable price with free shipping, plus they have this cool store credit system with every purchase you build up in store money, got 3 bucks for for ordering the jacket.

Anyways, i also live in Florida and this is the jacket that caught my eye the most in terms of protection, styling, and functionality.

You can find reviews for it on other sites as well as a video from sport bike track gear on it.

Rock the renewable sources dog! hemp is cheap, clean and Strong as F***.

Dont worry your not supporting patchouli smelling contrarian do-nothing hippies either.
Hemp and marijuana were smeared in the 1930's to protect investments in the timber industry as hemp is far more useful and cheaper.

Also joe rocket is a "budding" company making better quality gear all the time.

If i didn't already have a joe rocket textile i would grab one of these.
