Great for early spring, Autumn, and Winter riding.

x2, 10yrs for me but unfortunately they don't offer leather jackets anymore (couldn't find them on their website).

No one moves more on a bike than racers and they don't seem to mind.

That's the difference between a bruise and a shattered elbow or collarbone.

I went and checked out the FXRG jacket today at HD. I really did like it. It fit well and was cut right. Sleeves and base of jacket were were they were supposed to be in the riding position. I was also able to try it on with a Gerbings heated liner underneath it. Verdict was excellent. However I do hate that its made in China. That might not stop me from buying it though. With my discount I'll get over $100 off the price...Going to call the Fox Creek folks tomorrow after I mark down my measurements. Then it will be decision making time.
