    Armoured denim jackets?

    Have seen some armoured denim jackets mentioned on the interweb and wondered if anyone has tried them. In this heat lately I am thinking about something light than my standard jacket

    How much are you wanting to spend? I have a perforated jacket that is 99% brand new. When I bought it I was 95kg and it was a snug fit. If you are lighter than this it would fit you. I was wanting $250.00. Pm if you want to try it on.

    Another option: Rev'it Air Jacket.

    Have one which is great on these hot days. They also did one with a rainproof inner.

    Buy a Harley for Summer. You can ride in your T-shirt then.

    Good option. I had a long chat to an Indian Scout owner last weekend. He is very happy with it.
