Anyone Know Anything About this Jacket?

[BigBSBusa]

Was doing some searching for kind of a casual leather jacket that would be nice for riding. You know for those times when you need protection, but don't want to be a billboard. Saw this one and found it at a much better price than MSRP!

Anyone looked out or tried it? I have a FirstGear mesh jacket and like it a lot. It does not come with the armor padding, but it can be added on. The liner is a great option to have also. Just trying to get a little feedback from the family! Here's a pic and the specs:

-- Top grain, full weight, drum-dyed leather (1.2 - 1.3mm thick)
-- Carbon fiber patterned leather panels add style
-- Reflective panels add safety discreetly
-- Pockets for optional armor padding
-- Patented zippered Cuff Vent System (CVS) on each arm
-- Patented 4-port zipper controlled Torso Vent System (TVS)
-- Two outer chest pockets, two zippered handwarmer pockets, one inside chest pocket
-- Fully sleeved zip-out Thermolinerâ„¢ with patented Thermoneckâ„¢
-- Adjustable waist side belts
-- Lower rear zipper attaches to most FIRSTGEAR pants

Sizes: Men's sm-3X

Colors: Black only

10-year limited warranty

MSRP $369.95

Ken, this is basically the exact same set-up as my Hein-Gericke Jacket. First Gear is under the same umbrella (made by the same companies)..... Great product, nice fit, and I think there quality is top notch! Are you looking at buying this from MOTORCYCLECLOSEOUTS.COM? This is the same store I went to visit in KC this Saturday...... Great place, friendly staff, and rocking prices! New Enough is also at the top of my list! I don't see how you could be disappointed with this product. Fit is pretty close to normal/standard as far as jackets goe.........

Thanks, KS! I saw the link on your tire post and decided to check them out. Like I said, I have other FirstGear stuff and like the fit and feel so I wasn't that worried and at a price of almost 50% off MSRP how could you go wrong? I would like to get the armor for it and am not sure what to get exactly. Guess it will add about $40 bucks to the price, but hey . . . How different is the jacket than a regular racing style jacket?

The differences are merely cosmetic! From the standpoint of same (identical) design as my "Race" jacket! Color/patterns are what set this jacket apart from the race crowd. Everything else appears to be identical to my "race" jacket. Hope this helps..

Thanks. Did you get the armor to go with yours?
