Re: Cycle whore thread
this post is probably going to be overlooked, but oh well.
this summer, I rode in a shift mesh jacket. It was fine until it got down around 70 degrees, then it was too cold in the shade. after that, I put on the cheap-ass leather/textile jacket I bought before I'd ever ridden, but it's really not a good fit, and I want something with good protection and good warmth for spring/fall.
any suggestions for a sub $275 non-perf leather jacket? I'm kinda looking at the joe rocket old-school, but i don't like the fact that there arent' any armor pockets. the icon daytona is on clearance at that price, but it's perfed, and i'm not a fan of colored leather, and the black on black is sold out everywhere.

Re: Cycle whore thread
part of the problem is that i'm a weird body shape... 6'2", 140 lbs. my shift jacket is a medium but is known for having long sleeves, which means it fits my lanky ass perfectly. my other jacket is a large, which fits okay through the arms, but is a bit baggy though the torso.
i've been looking at the A* gear, but most of it is really expensive (for good reason, like you say). I'm not looking to spend that much unless I can find it on clearance.

I never got anything other than a helmet from Scorpion, but I was always interested in their gear. Some of it has a clean look, which is hard to find with sportbike gear. http://scorpionusa.com/

Re: Cycle whore thread
kinda leaning towards this in gray on black
http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/a...leather-jacket
the body is all perfed, so liner and base layer will be important, but it will extend the range of the jacket.
