Default Jacket advice

Hey guys, I'm looking for a decent riding jacket for under 200.00. Anyone have any advice? Am I just dreaming?

Really depends on how picky you are about style/color etc...
I have this jacket:
http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/l...le_jacket.html
I love the jacket it has all the features you could want, AWESOME quality.
I paid way more than the $99 they are charging, and now I believe they have a $12 shipping credit for Powertrip Jackets.
Just seems some people were not crazy about the big POWERTRIP on the front and back.
Also if you can stand the style my wife has this jacket:
http://www.newenough.com/protective_...le_jacket.html
It is mesh so it is nice in the summer, it also has a rain liner and a insulated liner.
Once again very nice jacket lots of features and a great price.

Hopefully one of those will do the trick if not that website has good prices and great service.

Less than 200 bucks will get you any number of decent riding jackets in several different styles.

Sure someone is gonna come on here and tell you all the evils of foreign leather. However, my oldest jacket is a Pakistani made traditonal biker jacket that I got from JC Whitney nearly 20 years ago for 88 bucks. It has seen tens of thousands of miles and one good wreck. It still looks great. I have 3 other foreign made jackets and all are good, IMO.
