You are just jealous that it wasnt you!

I've got a Fox Creek leather jacket (Vented Racing Jacket) with shoulder, elbow and back armor. The jacket is very comfortable even with all the armor, and I very rarely go riding without it.

 

One piece Aerostitch riding suit.

 

FIELDSHEER > perforated mesh - removable liner - armored = decent in summer, still will sweat a bit when stopped. Best of 3 jackets for summer riding.

DIANESE > perforated leather - removable liner - very well armored = will sweat in summer.

HD FXRG > leather - removable liner - soft armor = will really sweat when warm if not moving.

 

Harley Davidson leathers made over seas. How sad is that.

 

It all depends... Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.

 

I have this one. I ware a large they say to order one size bigger. I didn't and the large fits fine.

I wear mine as much as I possibly can....Up to 90 degrees if I can keep moving most of the time. I like the no collar look, the armor, the venting, and the reflective skulls. I also own the matching vest for extreme heat conditions, to get reflective material on me at night.

Breaking mine out this morning at 35 degrees it's time.
I have a 2 piece amored Alplinestar that is a black denom material weaterproof insulated that I have never been cold in. two years old now and worn through the winter only.
lots of life left in it. $500.00 for both.

 

That is a little steep of AS gear, especially used stuff. I've seen their textile gear sell for ~$120 (jacket or pants) on clearance. In comparison, for $500, you can get a new Olympia one piece suit made of Dupont Cordura with breathable waterproofing or a lot of other higher end gear options.
