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.

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.

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.

I love the Ventmax 3 I have. ...Keep that Ventmax away from hot headers ... hahahaha the liner doesn't like it.

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.

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?
