Ok i've narrowed my search for a new jacket to 2 jackets. Either this one https://www.motoliberty.com/prod_detail.asp?Prod_ID=364 , or this one http://www.newenough.com/protective...lpinestars/rc1_leather_motorcycle_jacket.html
The major deciding factors in these 2 jackets are the level of protection, a speed hump and the ability to zip into pants for the track. If anyone has any experience on either of these jackets i would like to hear it or if anyone has a suggestion on a jacket that is similar then please list it. Thanks

I don't have experience with either, but I would tell you to make sure that the zipper for the pants conforms to the requirements of your local track day operation. Most trackdays require a 280 degree heavyweight zipper. I see that the Alpine Stars jacket does have a full zipper, but I couldn't see anything about the zipper on the Taichi.

Anyway, just do your research...
