Default Engineering improvement

Hello everyone,
Just to let you all know I am not asking anyone to buy anything, I am just looking for suggestions for a leather jacket that's all.... And No they do not have this in space, they use water in their suits, we will be using airflow.... The reason I asked this forum is because I know you all are not just some weekend sport bike riders....You all really know what this motorcycle riding thing is all about.....Please if I can get some help....

Thank you all,
Industrial Engineer

Harley riders are a hardy bunch and part of the fun is freezin' in winter and sweatin' in the summer. This makes spring and fall ridin' that much more enjoyable. You might want to try to get your information from a GoldWing forum[8D] I've been to your home page a I believe that you are who you say you are and are sincere in your quest for information. But, you are not likely to find it here.

I'd have to agree with Tripper, while your cause may be noble, trying to target a group like us with a high tech item like yours will be difficult at best. Personally, I will not pay a premium to stay a little warmer in the winter or a little cooler in the summer. It's just not that big a deal.

I agree old geezer. I paid $100 for my riding jacket which i really only wear when it's cold, though i should wear it all the time. It's padded in the elbows,shoulders and back. It suits me fine, and if it's cold, well that's what long underwear's for. But once it gets real cold here, it's time to put the bike away because i've never riden in the snow and don't plan on ever trying to.

Yup! Call me a wimp or maybe I'm just not a hard core biker but when it gets below freezin', I take the truck.
