I need a new jacket.

So whats good and whats not.....ive had a Tecknic one for years which has served me well,only complaints would be its a little short and keeps breaking the stitching that holds the adjuster for waistband.Tempted to go buy another but was interested in others opinions.

I got Quasi gear. The new range is out and they're pretty freakin' hot! Have a look at the site. Nah, I'm not on commission, it's just gear that I like so I recommend it.

What sort of jacket? lane splitting, racing, road racing or smokin in the livin room?

i've got cordura but will never wear it again seeing how it 'holds up'. I'm a bovine boy only now.

if it rains.. take the car

Went through the same thing a couple of month ago, ended up going for a Quasi leather jacket. It's well made, warm and comfortable and the price was pretty damn good too, very happy with it.

yea thats the thing mate,most of my rides are long distance..well long as in from Oamaru to over the coast....both sides of the isle so usually its raining on one side,apart from a few trips over the pig-root with mates its all long distance stuff done pretty quick,i to love leather but hate wearing it heavy and wet and compared to Cordura it takes forever to dry out.

fair call; i tried the spidi h2out gear and after sending 2 lots back wont buy that shit again; although Finn wears his with gay pride.

if its not leather i cant help ya; Although saying that you can get the plastic over throws which i so often see Enigma51 wearing... subtle but effective

Might be the go actually......ive a great set of leather pants that when its raining i just grab a $10 pair of warehouse pull ons over which fold up and fit under pillon seat....any idea were i can get a top if i go with a leather jacket.

I got the Rapid Red. I would imagine that all the other jackets would be just as good.

You coming up for the Little River Rally this weekend? It would give you a chance to check it out...
