Actually, they have several PT jackets- the Army ones are $129, and the DTP is $99. There's a JR for $189 too. All solid deals.

Motorcycle-Superstore has some Tecnik for $160.

Keep in mind that just because it has full circumference, does not mean it will zip to just any pants. There are some brands that are not compatible. If you already has some pants, I recommend getting a jacket of the same brand. If you don't have pants, then no worries, but if you want to find pants later on, you might be stuck with the same brand jacket that you bought.

Just like helmets, you really should try on leather jackets. I have three models of Fieldsheer jackets, all size 46, and all fit me differently. My summer jacket is skin tight, and I can only wear a t-shirt underneath. My winter jacket is so loose I can wear a t-shirt, long-johns, heavy sweatshirt, and liner underneath. My Kevlar jacket is in between and lighter. I wear it if I am going to carry it with me or lock it to the bike.

i impulse bought a moto gp jacket at like 2am.

i read some forum reviews, cross referenced a few different sites to check the fit and features, then sized myself and bought it.

99bucks, comes with ce armor, back pad and full circumference zipper, and the piece that is stitched to the pants, if my pants arent compatible already

Sounds like a good deal. Post up a review when you get it- I haven't heard much about their gear.
