First gear Ranger III leather. Has a snap out vest which is great for riding in the mountains in unpredictable weather. Even has crash padding on elbows and spine.

I love this jacket from wilson's leather. It fits great and is very warm, looks cool too.

Wilson makes a good leather, had a brown bomber type for almost 15 years, the liner and pockets finally ripped out of it. Like the looks of that one also.

I've been seriuosly looking at the Alpinestar Air-Flo textile jacket. It's plain black, nothing fancy or crotch rocket looking, it has protection in th shoulders, elbows and back and has been recommended by a fellow co-worker. Sells for around $150

I heartily recommend the Teknic Supervent for warm to hot weather. I wore mine on a couple of 90-degree days and it was just fine. Good padding and good airflow while moving. It's got nice deep pockets too.

I wear a Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket. Real comfortable in the summer. Keeps the sun off but the wind blows through it like cheesecloth. Not bad in cooler weather with the liner in but I really want a brown leather bomber jacket with armor for those cooler days.

Summer here in TEXAS it's hotter than H-ll. I am guilty of riding with just a lightweight denim overshirt. Have just discovered & am making Kool Vests. they are filled with the stuff the neck coolers use & really keep you cool. I worked in one 3 days last week remodeling rent property. Made the difference in being able to keep going or not. I am planning to try it out on the bike this weekend. Will let you know how that goes. Winter & Fall I have a heavy leather jacket w/zip out lining. It's bulky but warm. I have Chaps but since I am so short, couldn't make myself cut them off after they cost so much so haven't worn them yet. Think they are going to find a new home. By the way, I still have my Original Harley Leather jacket I wore in 1956. I was the coolest girl in school.

I'm wearing a Joe Rocket Meteor 4, minus the liner. The venting is pretty good as long as you're moving. Since it's all black, it doesn't look too flashy when you're not on the bike. A mesh jacket would probably be cooler.

I use a Joe Rocket Suzuki Racing Team jacket. It's really comfortable for a superbike jacket that is. It's textile, so I hope I don't freeze on the cold days to come.
The protection it gives you is amaizing (not that I had ever needed it) It has pads on shoulders, elbows, lower back, and back. I like that it has bright colors and emblems all over the place so you are noticable to cagers around you day or night.
Ride Safe!

That's a great looking jacket, wonder how it would do in 100+ degrees in Texas?

Too hot right now in Texas for any jacket, I think. But I still see bikers all bundled up - not me.
In the winter time, I have a leather jacket with a perfect gun pocket in the front.

Some guy in Alaska had a heavy black& blue *motorcycle*, leather "1st-(something)" jacket w/ thinsulate liner on eBay. It is a little large but it works all year. Snagged it for $75, not 300 washed the liner per instructions and good to go.
Fonz got nutin on me ...Aeee!

I got some patchs for joining CMT/ABATE and was wondering if sneaker repair adhesive like "Shoe Goo" would be a good way to attach then to my jacket?? Any experience w/ that?

Mr 650 - You reckon that fella's got some more of those jackets to sell? Can you post his eBay user id?
Thanks, David

It's usually worthwhile to check out

also. Their stuff is new; it's just the previous model or overstock, etc.
