Does anyone have an idea of how the Dainese helmets and Impact Jacket Races fit? I found some for sale, want to get that level of protection.

Anyone ever ridden with a Dainese lid? I have a lot of street bike stuff of theirs, always first class, but haven't ridden anything other than the knee and elbow stuff from them.

Jackets run smaller than most other brands.

So if I run XL in a 661, should I go with a XXL or a XXXL.

Mind you I am 5'10", 250lbs. Think fat kid on wheels.

I am 5'11 240 (think ex weight lifter who eats a lot of chinese food body)...I wear XL next jacket with no issues. That said, I am a bit bigger than what seems to be the norm for this size...and according to mtbr anyone who weighs more than 170 has to wear XL??? :)

Dont know if that helps or not, good luck.

I'm with you there. Think rugby player who got more into beer then running.

For some reason everything seems to be built for very skinny kids. Need to start a fat boy armor and eating bib company.

If it helps I'm 240-255 depending on the season at 5'10 (think ex fat kid who likes to lift heavy), i wear an XL jacket with a 52" chest.
