| Re: i went to the store and i splurged! Nice looking jacket. With a black helmet with a dark smoke shield and black pants, you could be in stealth mode.

| Re: i went to the store and i splurged! Looks like a nice fit. Does it ride up your backside when you are on the cycle? |

| Re: i went to the store and i splurged! I saw a similar one yesterday at Cycle Gear but it was perforated. *$550 *
Edit: I think the one I saw was a Kushitani not Dainese. |

| Re: i went to the store and i splurged! That's hefty. *When I was first looking I saw several fine looking jackets in that range. *I couldn't pony up that kind of money, so opted for the far less expensive jackets. *I'll probably get less then 1/2 the life out of mine, but that's about the time I usually get tired of them anywho. |

| Re: i went to the store and i splurged! Nice looking jacket. The price seems on par with Vanson. Dunno which is better, but as far as I know they're both tops |
