Leather Jacket - Xhiler8r - 23-04-2003
Hi guys I have a question for ya's I bought a Dry Rider jacket when I bought my Busa and now I am in the hunt for a Leather Jacket. What I want to know is A: good brand B:a good jacket that can be worn in the hot summers of brissy as the dry rider is far too hot to wear even with the lining removed. any help would be appreciated.
Thanx Bill....

Hate to tell ya Bill but wearing any leather jacket in vegas is still hell in summer!!
I bought a dianese armour shirt thingy which I wear under a shirt :

nice and cool and still heaps of protection. I think 'UFO' also do them for about $299.00
Also have a kevlar shirt which I wear over the top sometimes for extra skidding ability...

Jacket - Slong - 23-04-2003
Hey Bill,
I bought a Tiger Angel Guardian jacket about 2+1/2 years ago and have loved it.
www.tigerangel.com.au/gor...ian_1.html
It was a bit pricey [$120 but it was/is well worth it - I don't know if you need waterproofing as well as it is that too. In the summer it's a lot cooler than a 'normal' leather jacket and only gets unbearable in slow 38deg + temps.
I'd like some proper protection in it though - it only has firm padding and no hard plates.
Other than that, it's sweeet. Colour has faded, so if you want a jacket that still looks new years later, you probably don't want this one.
It's a suede looking thing.
Cheers,
