Default need help on jacket

Hi, there are so many jackets out there and I am real new to this.

Im looking for a jacket with a bitch load of armor in it. I dont care how heavy it is, as long as it doesn't make me look fat haha.
One for the sun, one for the brute cold.. I will be riding my bike in extreme conditions.
I also like the look of the modern jackets without the flap and the button near the neck.

anyone know where I can find these top protective jackets? Thank you.

This is the jacket I wear - comfortable, loads of armour, insulated removable jacket - couldnt recommend it enough.

They have many different styles to choose from

If you're looking for serious protection, consider the custom-fit Kevlar stuff from Motoport.

Maybe something like the Riva AX Kevlar with liners would suit your needs.
