Default Tour Master leather jackets

Any of you folks had experience (good or bad) with Tour Master leather jackets? I've been looking at either the Magnum or Coaster Air II. They appear to be well made and all the reviews I've read have been positive. Can't swing the one I really want (Fox Creek) after buying the new FXDC and gathering the $ for the detachable backrest and windshield. Just thought I'd throw it out there and see what the hive thinks.

Thanks

Sorry, no experience with the TM leathers. But the summer riding gear (Draft Air set) is top notch stuff.

Most of the cheaper to mid priced leather is just fine. For 50-150 bucks, you can find a jacket that will last for years.

Those Harley jackets with the cheap zippers and crap are the ones you have to be leery of

Default Coaster

I scored a Tourmaster Coaster on eBay about a year ago for $120, new/no tags. It's a regular Coaster not the Coaster Air. It's a good quality heavy leather with good armor but it's cut for a teenager; very narrow waist & very wide in the shoulders. Lot's of vents & excellent air flow under way.

I had a Tour Master leather back when i rode sport bikes. I have no idea what model it was, but it was very nice with large vents in the front, a built in kidney belt, etc. It was very nice leather and I never ahd an issue with it. Once of the most important things to me is the zipper as with the amount of use my jackets get I have had issues with zippers on a few. This one had a great zipper as well although it was plastic.
