Hi all,

I just purchased a replacement First Gear riding jacket to replace my old cheap jacket. My old jacket was a 2XL, I'm a big guy, but it was too big. I would get a lot of ballooning when riding above 45 MPH or so.

I followed the size guidelines when ordering this new jacket and got an XL. It does not balloon up, but it is pretty snug around my gut...beer gut that is. I have full range of motion, so I am not concerned with safety, but I typically don't wear snug fitting clothes.

So, should I keep the snug jacket and keep working to loose a few pounds or send it back for a 2 XL and risk the balloon effect?

Thanks,

T.
