HD over priced, most of it is not American made. Same thing with there T-shirts, I stopped buying them years ago. We work hard for our money, shop around get the best deals.


Ride safe

H... no! Junk. You can get superior quality, made in the USA for about the same price. Try Schott...making them since freshwater in the USA and they are primo! I've got the vintage looking "perfecto". It's heavy, will outlive me, will get better with age, and hold their value.

I bought the FXRG jacket in 05. Nothing else fit me right. I tried a lot of jackets. Different styles. Different brands. I'm an extreme "Buy American" person. All my clothes are American. Except my Harley shirts. Go figure. I have a pretty big taper. Chest to waste. So not much fits me. (Chest bigger the waste). When I finally pulled the $600.00 FXRG off the hanger and put it on. It fit. I got 30% off so that helped. Jacket has been through a lot. Still fits great. Still looks great. Has the perfect worn look. I'll get another 12 years out of it. I hate that it's not made in USA. But. Such is life. Can't always get what you want.

My wife has a HD Jacket and out of the box it wasn't waterproof. Got caught in a small rainstorm and she was soaked. My HD Jacket is made out of pig skin so I don't really trust it to take a beating.

For the price I love my FoxCreek. Yes it was expensive (I needed a tall plus a larger size). 4 years in it still looks great, zippers still work and I am looking at buying one for the wife.
