Anybody have one? It's the one with the "foil" graphics on it. Appears to be a jazzed up sport rider model from Vanson. How are these are far as ventillation? They intakes on the inside of elbows, but nothing on the chest anywhere. Just wondering how well you can keep cool with one. |

You mean this one? Unless its a perforated leather, it'll be kinda hot in summer, depending where you live. Here in Fla perforated leathers are very warm specially if in traffic and when stopped. I've only seen in a store once, I guess you'd have to order it in the store, you can go to buell.com and in the apparel area where the jacket is they'll have link near bottom of picture for dealer locator. I've had a request in ebay for a year now to maybe get one for less then $539 but nobody has one...heres the link http://buell.com/en_us/gear/apparel/Product.asp?Me nu_ID=1&CategoryID=4&ProductID=2157 |

Sean, How well do the sleeve vents work? I just order the plain version of this jacket from Vanson, and they told me that with the sleeve vents open you'd get some air circulation through your chest as well. Is this the case? |

I have only owned it about three months, so I have only ridden it in cooler weather. What I can say is that with the vents open, there def is ventilation inside. Whether it is enough or not, I won't know until it heats up a bit. --Sean |

I've got one. I like the jacket alot, but the only time I wore it during the summer last year was on Track Day. The ventilation is pretty good when you are moving. When you aren't, plan on sweating your butt off. |

Hi, I bought one of these a few years back, SteveS ordered 3 from Vanson in comp. grade leather. I live in Australia, damn hot most of the year, the vents work well. Cheers |
