Hello,

I am brand new to the forum here, as I just purchased my first bike. Have a Road King being delivered next week, and would prefer to get a leather jacket that does not have huge Harley logos all over it. I came across this one online, and wondering if anyone has any experience with them, as they aren't cheap. Any insight would be really appreciated.

Also considering this one, which seems like a solid brand, just not leather. http://www.rideicon.com/gear/mens/ja...basehawk/black

 

i like my Icon leather jacket, just remove the armour thats in there. No logos and its awesome.

 

I bought a "Joe Rocket ballistic " jacket back in 98. Im still using it today (had to replace the zipper at a shop- cost $10). 20 years- its all sunbleached but still hanging on!

 

Welcome to HDF.

If the Dainese jacket is as good as their racing leathers, then it should be a quality product.

I would steer you to Fox Creek Leather here. They make excellent quality jackets and leather overpants/chaps.

If you want something specific to your measurements with the perfect fit and top quality leather, check out 55Collection
here. They are spendy, and you can customize the jacket.

 

Nope. Never heard of it. Hope that helps.

 

If the Dainese jacket in the OP is anything like their racing suits, they run VERY small. Ordering one without being able to try it on might be a little problematic.

 

Dianese is like alpinestars as the run euro sizing so like tallshooter said they do run small. On a side note alot of these manufacturers of gear based in europe have the stuff that isnt top of the line made in indonesia. My sp1 gloves made in veitnam are pretty awesome. My spx gloves in indonesia im a little disappointed with quality wise. If you can try the stuff on first and remember leather breaks in.

 

 

You don't listen to Dad, huh. Just go on some forum and ask their opinion. Well, that;s actually a pretty good move. One thing about Revzilla is that they have a very good return policy. However, I don't know as you ought to be spending $500+ on your first jacket. As a new rider to touring, it will take a while for you to figure out what you really want.

 

Let me suggest a different direction - textile jackets with armor. You can comfortably wear it in all types of weather including 100-degree days and you will have better protection than your t-shirt when it's hot out. I've been using the Olympia AirGlide jackets for years. https://olympiamotosports.com/en-US/products/jackets
