Where To Get Motorcycle Jackets?

[cm das]

Any recommendations for where to buy a non-leather motorcycle jacket w/ armor? I'm in Chiang Mai but I'll be in BKK next month so I could look around there too. Or should I just wait until I go back to the states for a visit in April? Thanks.

Try Fast Corner at the Pantip Plaza on Chang Khlan Road. They have a good selection of just what you are looking for. Good selection of gloves too.

I have seen some good ones on the ground floor of MBK in Bangkok but I'm not sure they have the plates inside.

Thanks for the replies. Sojourner, I plan to check out Fast Corner tomorrow.

Paddock is great even if you're not living in Bangkok. Before Fast Corner opened I bought three riding jackets from them. They sent them to Chiang Mai via Siam Express. One was too small and I sent it back whereby they sent a larger one without additional charge. I ordered a helmet from them as well and they had to special order it from Japan. Big head I guess. Anyway, they forwarded it to me as soon as it arrived. Good service.
