Anyone have an opinion about Fox Creek?

I am looking at getting some different leathers because the cheap ones I got at www.leatherup.com are not holding up. Guess you get what you pay for.

I was going to get an Icon Motorhead, or skull jacket. I by chance ended up in a store on Christmas eve or something and got a deal on a Joe Rocket Super Ego that I couldn't pass on. I really like the jacket. I am glad I got it over the Icon but since I've never used an Icon I can't really compare.
The Super Ego has the removable pannels that expose a mesh on the front and back but leave the leather on the arms. There are other jackets that do that too.
I later picked up the Alter Ego pants, and have been happy with those so far.
Sorry can't comment on reliability. Haven't had them that long.
Looks good though! |

Hein Gericke has saved me twice. Love it in cold weather. Use Fieldsheer mesh w/armor in hot weather. |

I have both a set of Vanson (from the seconds rack) and Dainese (P103) pants, but no jacket from either. I like the feel of both and they are about the same in price. I have been looking for a Dainese jacket, but I haven't found one that I am completely sold on yet. They are a bit too tight with the quilted liner, and too loose without. I do not like the way they fit at the sleeve, and I don't care for how the armor is on the outside of the mesh liner. But by the way the pants feel, I may just have to look at more Dainese jackets then what was at my local shop. I want to check out the Bora. I haven't really looked into the Vanson jackets except the Buell one.
Right now, I am using a Harley jacket that I do not know the model. It is very close fitting, not bulky, soft and has armor. Pretty much, it feels perfect. I haven't been down on it yet, so I can't say how it will hold up, but it seems sturdy. |

I love my Firstgear suit, but a couple of years ago Joe Rocket mesh gear saved my life too. |

Vanson...expensive, but you don't want a bargain when you're sliding across the asphalt. With that said, I have enjoyed my First Gear leather jacket for about 8K+ miles, but Vanson is what I would call the bar as far as leather jackets go. My jacket has treated me well in cold weather (with a sweater). |

I went on a quest to find a jacket that fits - being a woman it's somewhat difficult. I really liked those Icon jackets, but they were waaaayy to tight in the sleeves, and bunched up in the shoulders when I leaned forward on my bike. I ended up buying a MotoGP Jacket - it fits so perfectly! It felt right away like I had had it for years - broken in and breathable...
