Re: i went to the store and i splurged!

after sitting and staring at it for about 10 minutes tapping my foot, i couldnt walk away from it... not even the hefty price tag

Nice looking jacket. With a black helmet with a dark smoke shield and black pants, you could be in stealth mode.

Nothing wrong with splurging on gear! Nice jacket Does it have any vents? I hope so, 'cuz you'll be baking if it doesn't

God forbid you'll ever have to crash test it, but if you do, you'll be glad you spent the extra $$.

Nice lookin' jacket, by the way.

Looks like a nice fit. Does it ride up your backside when you are on the cycle?

And if you don't mind saying; what's a hefty price tag? Over $500?

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.

Nice looking jacket. The price seems on par with Vanson. Dunno which is better, but as far as I know they're both tops
