After I fell months ago, there was damage to my jacket and pants. What I did notice was there are 2 holes just below the elbow on the arm. They are about a quarter size.
Now, I only fell at roughly 25-35 mph and slid a little on that arm... What I'm wondering is... What happens if I were to fall on the road at 65 mph? Would the jacket completely rip off my body and I'd end up with very traumatic injuries?
This was a good textile jacket I found (according to many reviews). I still use it today (even with the small holes). It's called the Shift Streetfighter SS Jacket. It's 600D.
Should I re-invest money and buy a higher quality jacket? I'm kind of concerned a higher MPH accident would result in a greater injury.
Now, I'm even questioning the ability my mesh jacket has as far as protection goes.
