Anyone know if the XRCR jacket is the same as the Vanson Corsair? I really want that jacket and the Buell piece looks the same, but is quite a bit cheaper. Also curious if the XRCH is a Stallion or a Satellite with Buell graphics? Can't find any locally and I would really like one or the other to wear when it starts to get cool. --Sean |

You might want to contact Vanson if you don't get a reply here. A related note...The Vanson Ventmax (mark 3) initially seems to be the same as Vanson Buell BU-25 but it's not. The Buell version has padding in the shoulders and elbows where the Vanson has armor in the same areas plus a back protector. DAve |

Thanks Dave. I tried researching that and though that is what I figured out, so I am glad you confirmed it, because I just ordered the Vent Max 3 from Vanson. --Sean |

I love the Ventmax 3 I have. ...Keep that Ventmax away from hot headers ... hahahaha the liner doesn't like it. DAve (Message edited by dave on September 12, 2006) |

Dave: Is the Ventmax leather or textile. How well does the venting work? does it have an insulated liner you can zip out? Cost? |

The VentMax is just textile mesh...well...some leather around the shoulders and elbows. No liner. I use it for only hot commuting because it is only mesh. It flows air very well and offers some protection. I think I paid like $130 or so from Stone Mtn last year. The Joe Rocket Phoenix is nice for the $. It has a zip out liner than is rain proof as well. DAve |

if you get a chance-go to the VANSON factory/Store in Fall River Mass. I went there on Saturday, and my wallet is lighter, but the savings were fantastic. The "rack" has unreal deals. |

What kind of "unreal deals" are you talking about? |
