Macna gear?

[mememe]

Hi
I am considering a Macna Diamond jacket, good sellout prices from Motorcycle gear. Any comments appreciated. The removal/install of the liners is quite trick but seems somewhat complicated.

Cheers

Too many zips and other moving parts for my taste. Not to mention fluoro accoutrements.

I have a pair of their ladies pants. LOVE EM!

I have a Macna jacket (the 'Summit" I think).
As Hitcher said: too many zips and buttons and stuff. They're bound to end up carking it before the jacket does, then you're stuffed.
Also, I suspect that the seams are only single-stitched; not a good idea for crash-worthiness.
In hindsight, although the jacket is a great fit, wonderful to wear, and is a true 4-season jacket (really cool in summer and warm and dry in winter), for the same money I could've bought a better leather jacket, a good waterproof oversuit, and some thermal wear.

The bottom line is, unless they drastically change the design, I wouldn't buy another one.
