Default FXRG leather jacket- first ride

damn this jacket is sweet! it was around 50 degrees today (cloudy- no sun) when we went out..... dropped to about 45-ish on the way home. i was toasty warm the entire ride.... wearing only a t-shirt underneath.

ill say on a sub-freezing day, with under armour and a sweater/sweatshirt- this jacket would be perfect.

the kidney belt, 3 zippers, vents and more pockets that i can fill are definitely worth the price.

A+

Good to hear. I tried one on at the stealer, and really liked it, but it's outta my price range right now.

I suppose you could get one at one of the discount dealers at the 20% off pricing which would ease the pain somewhat.! I do think that they look darn nice too.

I totally agree! Took my bike to the shop in 35 degree temps Monday and the only thing that got cold was my fingers. Looks like FXRG gloves are needed.

The coat does so well if they made gloves I would have them, The caot will do fine at least in the low teens. I have not tested mine any lower than that.

Anyone know how the Competition II compares to the FXRG for cold and hot weather riding?

I have the nylon FXRG and I think the world of it. It's a different look than the traditional leather, so I can see how people would not like that, but it's a hair cheaper than the leather and has all the same benefits. I love it.
