Hey, I am sure you could find something you don't like about any of my Harley's too. But guess what, I don't give a crap about what you like....and I am not trying to impress you either.

More so I am voicing options to the OP as to what is available out there.

everyone need a good leather jacket. Spend a few bucks and get a good one and you will never have to buy one again.

I have a Fox Creek leather jacket and as far as a leather jacket goes; it's very impressive. If I ever have to buy another jacket, and judging by the quality of this one that's not real likely, it'll almost certainly be from them again. That said, some of the very qualities that make it such a good jacket also make it uncomfortable at anything over about 80 F - 85 F. Also, it's not waterproof. For all around all weather riding I use a First Gear Jacket. The model is their Kilimanjaro textile jacket. If I'm going on a long, as in more than overnight out of town trip it's the jacket I take.

I have this SHIFT jacket. I would probably buy it again if something happened to it...

Thumbs up Leather Jacket Quest...

After alot more searching I think I've found a pretty good substitute for the leather jacket that has been discontinued.

I bought the HD nylon jacket in black/gray, they also come in black/orange for about $100. These are excellent jackets and are just about as warm as any leather I've worn. Great wind breakers. I might not buy another leather jacket. Too bulky/heavy.

Why would you risk your life in service of this great country of ours and then recommend that someone buy a chinese or indian made jacket?

Don't get me wrong, in my book you have more than earned the right, I just don't get it.

Oh, I think you do...

Yea, that's about what I figured...

I'm a big fan of Vanson...
I have one of their fully perforated jackets that I wear when its warm out...

Since your just starting out...my advice is to take the MSF class... and buy good gear!
Helmet, Jacket, Pants, Boots & Gloves...
