Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 Mesh Jacket

Here is a great deal in a “tried and true” design which has been steadily improved over almost a decade. We are moving out a group of Phoenix 4.0 jackets to make way for the ‘08 version (only slightly changed). Save a bundle while the selection of sizes and colors lasts. My comments from ‘07: The Phoenix 4.0 is a full mesh sport jacket, primarily for warm weather street and sport riding. The entire jacket is a mesh material that allows air to blow right through the jacket. To help extend the jacket’s comfort range, you get a Dry Tech Liner as standard. The liner works great on cool mornings to take the chill off and can be easily removed and stored when it warms up. The armor in the shoulders and elbows of this jacket is a CE approved “turtle shell” molded rubber type. The back protector supplied is dual density. An upgraded CE approved back protector is available (see below). This jacket also has a couple unique and novel features: an MP3 player pocket with a grommet to pass your head phone cord through near the neck and a replacement face shield pocket. The face shield pocket feature is very imaginative. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see the location of this pocket. When the shield is in place in the jacket it hangs around your lower torso on one side. The shape of the shield and the location of the pocket makes it to where you hardly notice the shield is there. The Phoenix 4.0 is a fourth generation design of the full mesh jacket and for the money, it’s an excellent jacket.
