We have been riding about the same length of time, remember when engineering boots, Levi's and a leather jacket (preferable NOT from Wilsons) was THE way to dress? Pretty much the only way unless you got some of those exotic "yer 'O pean" leathers. I preach, show damaged gear and helmets I have kept around, but getting the message across is tough sometimes.<br /><br />BTW, I got my first Hi Viz jacket recently and I will not do another one and this one will not stay around long ... maybe 5,000 miles on it so far and it already has rub marks and dirt all over it (2,000 miles in 33 hours did not help) - back to black with some reflective areas for me next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416632051965806588.post-45322215900443629612012-09-24T19:37:08.775-07:002012-09-24T19:37:08.775-07:00Not cheap but very functional are the jackets from...Not cheap but very functional are the jackets from Aerostich. You can get the jackets with or without the liner. Jackets themselves are Gore-Tex and hold up well in the rain. When riding in very hot temps, I wear under armor under the jacket and just wet myself down , then put the jacket on. These jackets have good armor in the shoulders and in the elbows with plenty of pockets to store things. There are plenty of great jackets out there, but I love my Darian from Aerostich.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416632051965806588.post-33926563249903392042012-09-24T16:53:10.039-07:002012-09-24T16:53:10.039-07:00Lots of good jackets out there, I have a closet fu...Lots of good jackets out there, I have a closet full of them.
