How's $129 dollars look for full CE armor with zero adornment? http://www.njkleathers.com/stealth_mesh_motorcycle _jacket.html Or 99$ for one with a "little" adornment? http://www.njkleathers.com/breeze_mesh_motorcycle_ jacket.html I have one of these and absolutely love it. Quality is top notch and the armor in it is really good. |

I've been really pleased with the Buell "Adventure Jacket". About $220.00. Two arm vents, two back vents, two removable front panels that allow circulation all around inside, removable liner, and personally tested armor, elbows, back, shoulders. |

I use a Cortech DSX denim for casual, it does have black stretch panels on the inside of the elbows, so maybe the Mod would be more stealth. CE approved armor. http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/product.php?produc tid=251&cat=25 The DSX is very comfy. Needs a neck gaiter for cold weather. I run the GSX Air in hot weather. Mine's yellow. http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/product.php?produc tid=10&cat=25 With a t-shirt on under, it's like wearing a t-shirt with elbow pads. The temps here can go from 90 to 40 and with the zip out liner, I'm good. |

It looks like First Gear came out with a new Killamanjaro Air jacket, and the older ones (which is the style I have) are showing up pretty cheap in a variety of places. Its a great jacket, and the insulating liner is remarkable as well. Without the liner it is a great summer jacket, without it it is a great winter jacket. The liner packs up *really* small. FWIW. Not quite cheap, but a lot of bang for the buck. |
