Default Classic Cruiser Functional Jacket

Anybody using this Jacket?

I need a jacket when I leave the house, especially for the mornings, living in L.A. Im talking about 50f weather, not too worried about rain as I dont usually ride in the rain. Also, Im NOT a leather type of person, so no leather for me!!

Just want to make sure this jacket will keep me warm n cozy.

Item # 98357-11vm

The jacket looks available......nobody in it.
My next jacket will have to be vented so it does not blow-up like a parachute above 60 mph. That is my main consideration for jacket shopping.

I almost got this jacket but my wife said leather is better for 30-40° weather. It's a nice jacket and if it was cool enough, you could always wear a long sleeve tee or a thermal tee, just in case.

Well, considering Spring is here, I would like something for now being that its about 55f-ish when I leave the house, but its 78f-ish when I leave work to go home. I do have a water-proof Craftsman Jacket for the colder days already.

Cheapest I have found it is $140 w/ FREE shipping.

Now the only other thing is, XL or XXL?????
