Guess limited edition means I'm SOL.
The riding scenario you describe is exactly why I'm interested.
I wonder if H-D would be willing to sell me three differnet jackets instead of just one multi-use?

Instead of carrying a couple of jackets, this one seems to do triple duty with the included rain liner, which helps me use it even in 50deg weather, or rain.
PS not trying to rub it in or anything, but you may also give a call to the Fullerton H-D and see if they still have some. I didn't buy it there but drove around while my family was at Disneyland and saw them.

Thjey just came out with a new style that is very similar. It has the HD eagle logo on the back. My wife just bought me one for our anniversay. I was very impressed.

A quick check with my gal at the local HD dealer reveals that according to the computer there are still some mens LG and XL available, mostly in Northern Calif.
The switchback part # is 97530-06VM
Anyone looking for one PM me and I'll try to help.

P.S. Best 3 jackets for the money I ever bought!

You can go to any H-D dealer motorclothes department, and ask what dealer has the jacket you're looking for, and they will give you a print out of the dealers showing that jacket in their inventory. Then you can call the dealer and ask if they still have it, and then have it shipped to your front door.

I checked about 2 months ago for a 3xl. None, nationwide. Just to save someone the trip.

Went to my local H-D dealer to locate this jacket in my size.
They refused to print out the search results, and lost another customer.
Went to the dealer where I bought my bike. They printed me the report (but were somewhat reluctant).
I had business in the Phila area and bought the jacket at Hannums in Media, PA. Same dealer I bought my 1st bike from 20 yrs ago.
I've worn it mesh only for several hundred miles and like it. Also removed the back pad for greater air (shoulder and elbow pads stay).
90+ degrees and found the jacket to be quite bearable. Warm at a stop, but any sweat generated evaporates once you get going again, and feels like AC.
I was in Morgantown, WV yesterday and stopped at the H-D dealer there off I68 (exit #7, forget the name).
Picked up one for my GF. She looks alot cuter in it than I do (thank God).
Men's was $250 and Women's $240.
Made a point not to call in case they were marked down. No such luck, still full price.
Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions.
