What do you guys think of it? This is the enduro jacket that is. It looks great online but I haven't seen one in person (no Husaberg dealership in Utah). Do they hold up well? How about sizing? Thanks!
 
Sizing runs at least 1 size smaller than you normally wear (just like the rest of the apparel Husaberg offers).

I bought a new "07 edition from Motoxotica (I like the colors better). I ended up going 2 sizes larger to fit over the chest protector. It is a very nice jacket.

Motoxotica does have a limited supply left in stock.

not something that is announced on NBC no doubt but it's old news over the pond that american sizes are now different to european ones! didn't use to be so apparently!

does my bum look big in this?

Dave,

there is one on ebay Australia at the moment, and with exchange rate, it probably equates well.

it appears to be at Valley Force Husaberg in Victoria, which is one of the more serious dealers (I think they sponsor young gun Adam Lees).

Taffy, the difference in sizes is due the finer physique on the average European...as opposed to the rounder size of the Mighty American!!!!
 
Taffy my friend,
I have worn the same size clothes for over 20 years now.

I know I'm not the only one here to experience this with Husaberg clothing. Must be a lot of wee wimpy boys there overseas. :D Now us good ol' boys from Texas are big and wear real-man sized clothes.

Nothing personal Taffy. Your a good ol' bloke. I just wanted racer187x to be aware of the sizing if he was to order via phone or e-mail.

Take care of yourself my friend.

Thanks guys. I ordered a 3XL from MotoExotica. I'm 6'7" so I got a size bigger than my normal 2XL jackets. Sorry Taffy, but I'm a big, bad American :lol: . Surprisingly enough, the Italians are the only ones who make a comfortable size 15 boot. I love my Tech 8's!
 
For the best comparison, I wear a Large Haines T-shirt. I had to order a 2X Husaberg Jacket. I tried the XL and the 3X.


If you're 6'7", I don't think a 3x will be big enough.


I got the '06 Jacket because I like all the pockets and the design better. However, the cuffs on the sleeves are a little tight. If I don't pull on the sleeve when putting my hand through the cuff I end up pulling apart the zipper that holds the sleeve to the vest .

I'm 6'5" 260 lbs, Husaberg's largest jacket which I think is a 3xl? is too small for me. Osssaman is right buy a size twice your normal size.

they are bitchen jackets
 
What's the difference between the 06 and the current jackets?

Can some post pics..

I can show you some pics of my 06 Jacket. Like I said erlier, I like all the pockets and the Husaberg name on the back. Which that is one big pocket under the logo on the back----just the right size to keep spare gloves in.

I just wore it for the first time today riding---so there is some dirt on it here and there.

I think it makes your butt look big. :lol: I just bought the new jacket from Dan at Motoxotica yesterday. It was the XL size and seems big enough to fit my Zakspeed chest protector inside. 8O
 
Thanks guys! I had ordered the 3XL from MotoExotica and it came in yesterday. I tried it on with my Leatt and Alpinestars Bionic 2 jacket. It fits really well and looks pretty durable. I'm going to give it a thrashing at the Nevada 200 at the end of March. No riding around here anytime soon. We have about 4 feet of snow on the ground, the most snow here since '87 as I'm told.

And I don't need to add that MotoExotica were absolutely awesome to deal with 8)
 
I'm 5' 2" .... Weigh 1517lbs.... And the 76XL/ circus tent model fits great.
 
Well if my temporary fix doesn't work on my 650 then this brand new 3X jacket might be up for sale (along with a parted out 650...)
