Dainese jackets?
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

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.

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.

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
