Default Affliction leather Jackets

Anyone have any experience with these? Are they just fashion, or are they comfortable to ride in? Anyone know any other similar brands from a styling stand point?

I thought the only thing they made was shirts with exotic prints worn by juiced up muscle heads. If they're made in China I'd look elsewhere. If you want a jacket that will actually hold up if you go down check out a Vanson or Fox Creek.

The biggest danger I see with them is that your bedazzled jeans that go with the jacket may tear your seat.

I promised myself I'd NEVER do anything to "keep up with the times" or "be fashionable" after I looked at a photo of me in a leisure suit, ruffled shirt, velvet bow tie and platform shoes. I looked like a do8chebag long before there was "Affliction" anything

Fox Creek makes some great leather jackets and chaps. One day I will also try their gauntlet gloves.

It's was the 70s - it was "cool"!

Common newbie wear.
That stuff tries too hard to look badass, with none of the quality.

Are you referring to Affliction in general or the leather jacket? I have never seen anyone on a bike wearing one.




I've seen a couple that looked pretty cool but they were just WAY too expensive for me.

Seen it in vendors at rallies...it even looks lightweight and cheap.
