The leather jacket I have comes with armor. It comes with soft armor in it then has the hard armor in the box. It is a real nice jacket just doesnt pack that great. It may break in though and pack a little easier. I did go online and look at the Tourmaster Air Intake 3 and it does look like a good jacket for all seasons but I don't wear a jacket in the summer.

Same here. Very happy with my Olympia AirGlide jacket. Does it all for me. And being from MN I ride in the 30's F unfortunately too frequently. And it comes in all black.
