Anyone used Shift Racing Leather Jackets?

I'm looking to get some inexpensive leather gear and found some Shift stuff on sale... Is this decent stuff? Or should I just hold out till I can drop some extra dough?

I have no firsthand experience, but their leathers have gotten some decent reviews in the moto mags. I have one of their textile offroad jackets, and the quality is top-notch.

Re: Anyone used Shift Racing Leather Jackets?

superbike (Euro) magazine did a review after one of there riders crashed in a one piece shift suit and they said it held up perfectly, although i do not remember the model of suit or speed of accident. they said the suit is also very comfortable while riding. i have some shift gloves that are super comfy.

I tried on a shift jacket when I was window shopping for gear for christmas ideas for my parents and I really liked the way it fit. As for crash testing it...the stealership wouldnt let me drop a Repsol on the highway to test it out, so I couldn't tell you how they hold up
