You'd be amazed at how quickly you can shread clothes - I'd wear the jacket. There are times you'll be going faster than you think, and the panic braking portion of the class is a common point to go down.

Hell, just yesterday I was cruising with a friend, and did a tight left U-turn. My left foot accidentally nudged my shifter and put myself into neutral - its extremely sensitive. This took away my ability to slip my clutch and use the motorcycles power to right myself as I rounded the U, and I had to put a foot down quickly, since I was out of inertia carrying me. ALWAYS need to be ready for the unexpected...
