Cons: No windproof or waterproof liner is available
Summary: You don't have to practice being miserable Comfort and protection on a motorcycle should be as important to the rider when selecting gear as when selecting a motorcycle. Reducing your risk of injury in an accident is as much a function of ... read more

Pros: Very light. Wind passes straight through. Cool. Swappable armour.
Cons: Not as good as full-on leathers.
Summary: Having moved from England to Salt Lake City, all my riding gear is setup for UK riding. My "summer" jacket is lined, padded, waterproof and windproof, and it's black. Not good when the temperature is getting up there and it's always sunny. So I ordered ... read more

Pros: Good ventilation, light weight, good construction quality
Cons: Lighter jacket=less protection.
Summary: I've had my Firstgear Mesh-Tex jacket for about a year now. I'm very pleased with it. The mesh weave is large enough to allow air flow but not large enough to make the jacket appear flimsy. It offers a good balance between air flow and protection. ... read more

Pros: Blue is very bright
lots of pockets
Cons: Padding is very loose and floppy.
Fits a full size too big.
Summary: This jacket firsts a full size to big. I am 6' 180lbs, normally a L or XL, but I should have ordered a medium. The elbow pads are extremely loose and the wrist and waste straps do nothing for me, I also have about 2" of free play in the chest. The
