I was looking for the same type and found a H-D jacket on Ebay before Christmas......H-D put them out in about 2001-2002 and called it the "El Camino"......has removable liner, and vented front & back, best of both worlds, good for cold & warm weather riding. Gal I bought it from had a couple more for sale, might do a search and see if anything turns up. I paid $200 for it and it is like new. Good luck.

I have an fxrg and it is so comfortable and warm.....It breaks the wind from coming in and has a removable liner also......the jaket itself doesn't make a person warm as much as how you dress underneath it....especially while riding.....

FXRG without question is the best I've ever owned. Spendy but good. Your dealer has them.

I use a mid weight leather jacket w/ my H-D heated vest, works to 30 degrees for me. It's comfortable and a lot less bulky. On less cooler days I use my H-D wind stop fleece under my leather jacket. With a mid weight jacket and layers you have more options, than with a heavy leather jacket especially when you are riding all day it allows you to add and remove layers as the temperature changes. just one guys opinion...

I found a price on e-bay from New Rochelle HD 459.99 + shipping.
I went to my local dealer and asked them to price match. After some
discussion they came within 15.00, so I bought it local.

I do not know - the Competition Jacket I have is similar it sounds the the gentlemen above here that said his is breathable and also has the zip out lining. However - mine is also very cumbersome and like I said the weight is incredible. Now I went to an HD Dealer and looked on their sales rack. I paid $250 for it - others that mentioned they had one like mine or had looked at one like mine said it ran about $600. So I got a really great deal. Should be a buyers market out there right now. Keep looking. Perhaps look into off road racing apparel. Might be something there.

I know the OP asked about H-D leather jackets in particular but I can attest to the warmth of the FCL thinsulate liner. I've been wearing my FCL Classic I every single day since July and find it a wonderful jacket. I didn't think that thin liner would be very warm but in fact it does a great job. I wear a fleece pull-over under it and I'm good down to the low 40's. Below that put a sweatshirt on over the fleece and you're good. No excessive layers required. In my case I ordered a jacket a couple sizes larger than I normally wear so that I could wear a couple layers under it and not feel restricted by a "too-tight" feeling.

In summer it vents well also when you're underway. Very heavy leather (the jacket alone weighs 10 pounds).

I just order the Classic II from Fox Creek to add to my ever growing collection. All my other leathers have the mandarin collar and I wanted something different. I hope the heavy leather is flexible without having alot of breakin time. I have an elec. liner if it really gets cold.
