Don't get the Foxcreek Vented Racing for the hot days.Great jacket for the cool days though.

 

Thanks for the links. I'll need to figure out my size. I prefer to try jackets on first before buying one. I will be ordering these though as I want some protection in the summer months.

The Cortech jacket that I ordered in a medium, from Motorcycle Superstores, was too small. I had to send it back for a large size. The site has a sizing chart for the various model jackets.
I measured my chest and it is 43". All the other model jackets on their's and other sites sizing charts call out for a large. The Cortech Coastal jacketcalled out for a medium, so that is the size I ordered.
I had to pay to send it back for a large size. I was a bit angry when I called them up and told them their chart wasthe error. I thought they should of paid for the return, but of course they didn't.

I can only go by the recommendation from a couple of forum members. They say it works well.
I wanted the extra protection in the summer, so I thought I would give it a try. I probably will not be able to give a report on it until summer, when the temperature gets up in the 90s.

Just read a review of the XKY jacketand it seems pretty good, armour,perforated leather,removable waterproof/insulated lining and reflective accents. Has matching pants as well.

 

If you can wear a jacket off the rack and it fits good, then go with fox creek - if you are like me and have never found a jacket off the rack that fits right - short arms for me... look at Johnsons leathers http://www.johnsonleather.com/ ask for Allen... I am still wearing my first jacket he make for me back in 97 and it looks great.. In Oct 05 I had him make me a 100% per Leather jacket with armor for the hot days here in Ca - very nice and still provides protection.... Great Customer service and no more $$ than a HD jacket... With all that said, I bought a nice two tone leather vest from Fox Creek and found their Customer service also good and the leather vest is very nice... Tell Allen the Turlock Fire fighter sent ya
