RE: Leather Vest

If not too hot use the vest for pistol, patchs and bugs. Doesn't really get much use though. If it'scoldI wear leather coat, if it'shot I wear a t-shirt. Went out the door several times this yearwith the vest on and it never left the garage because of the heat (anything above 75).

RE: Leather Vest

Get stung in the tit one time without one and you'll understand. The other reason for leather vests is to keep the oncoming windrush (no windshield) off your diaphragm. This muscle controls your breathing and without wind deflection, you get tired prematurely. Your pectoral muscles are in a relaxed postition while riding, the windrush also tires your arms without the leather. It's not just for show.

RE: Leather Vest

The kevlar shirt is really comfortable, it flows air nicely so it stays cool even in the high 80's. I've tried scraping hard against brick, asphalt and concrete and it defininately provides some abrasion protection - hope I never have to find out how much...

I wear a fox creekvest w/a draggin jeans kevlar shirt underneath when I'm running around town, but if I'm on the highways it's full leathers for me.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but I've had my draggin jeans kevlar shirt for a month or so and really like it. Keeps you cool while moving and when stopped allows air flow because of it's mesh design. It's supposed to offer the same abrasion protection as leather without the bulk/heat in the summer. I also wear the kevlar lined jeans. [&:]
