Reply #18 - 07/26/05 at 18:05:15 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

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.

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!

Reply #26 - 07/27/05 at 18:02:24 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.

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?
