The best leather jackets......

One brand neutral question from me:

Noticed on several brands how tight their jackets sleeves are at the wrists. How is one supposed to put their jacket sleeve over the top of their gloves so when you're caught out in the rain riding a sport bike, the water doesn't flow into your glove?

Nothing wrong with the answers, it was the extras that I didn't ask for that were uncalled for.

Most of time jackets have butttons and zips so means you can slip gloves undeath. but if your leather gloves are enything like some around, you have no hell of putting them inside leathers.

.

I wasn't specifically talking about Dawnrazors situation, but there is a feeling here that people who pay for brand name leathers would be better off to buy something like Quasies gear. All I'm saying is that if one can afford to buy what one wants then that is all that matters.

A Toyota Corolla will get you from A to B safely in comfort, but who wouldn't rather take the Porsche? (ignoring the speed and handling because the speed limit on open roads is 100km/h and a Corolla will do that).

Your last sentence is where we must agree to disagree.
Personally affordability is of less import to me than performance.

And like OAB, I was not refering to you directly...

I was just talking about gear in general.

Except where the product looks naff!! And Quasi's gear is not in that category.
I'd also prefer to protect my skin and the contents of my wallet. It's a no-brainer.
