  • Tall Rider Jacket Suggestions?

    I am planning on buying a 95 Katana 600 within a week or so and in preparation for this I have been getting riding gear. I recently ordered this jacket http://www.newenough.com/cortech_fusion_jacket_page.htm and I recieved it a few days ago. The problem is, it is very short. When I raise my arms to riding level the jacket is a little bit above the top of my pants so there is a little bit of area exposed. I think this might be because I am 6'7" tall. Do any of you know any jackets that are a little longer for taller riders? Or are all jackets like that? Thanks.

    They are all pretty much gonna be a little short, I'm 6'3" and most are a bit short on me. Other than custom made leather, your kinda out of luck as far as I know

      Above the sections of gear they offer there's a small link called "Hard to fit?" where they offer big and tall stuff...



      I don't see the jacket that you want but the one I have is this one...



      It's a bit more expensive than the one you posted but I own this one but I didn't know about the tall section untill after I ordered it. I'm 6'2'' and have the XXL and I think it fits just right for me but again you're 5'' taller than I am

            I'm 6'3" and my Cortech GX Sport has material covering down my butt... that was a thing I looked for in a jacket when shopping... My Leather one had my dang unders showing when I bent over the tank...

              as stated, New Enough does have jackets offered in TALL sizes. the tall sizes essentially just have longer sleeves. One thing you may want to look into is actually getting what they call a 3/4 length jacket such as this one: http://www.newenough.com/tour_master...acket_page.htm ( I just bought this one )
              or this one: http://www.newenough.com/tour_master...acket_page.htm

              both jackets are quite a bit longer than your standard jacket
              I love my Kat!!

                I am 6'6" and my Joe Rocket fits me great. Like JaxKat it covers to top half of my butt. I can't remember the model off the top of my head but it is a pretty standard jacket. You are going to find most of the "bomber" styles too short. the 3/4 is the way to go.
