Riding jacket
I am looking at a new riding jacket, I tried a harley Milestone jacket at the dealer. Nice looking jacket it is textile material and i like the looks of it , but it is very stiff. Does anyone have this jacket? Do you like it? Does it stay stiff or does it soften up after time?

My fave Jacket is the H-D Switchback- which is similar in looks to the milestone.
the front and rear panels zip off, leaving a mesh jacket underneath- although the shoulders and outer arms are still the heavier textile.
the jackets take the armor pads for the shoulders and elbows and some also take the cool packs for the back.
vents and useful pockets.
where I live temps run from 50ş to 100ş, and this jacket covers that whole range quite well.
for warm weather riding, black is not the best color. mine ( I have 2) are light gray and dark grey
sizing runs about true
