the leather jacket is on of those $159 specals, not a very good jacket and the only venting is on the arms

the jacket is too small for the bike but the bike cover is too big for me

So....did ya wear it this mornin to work, and how do ya like it?(the jacket, not work) :mrgreen:
I could certainly use an "in between" type jacket, myself. Leather is just way too hot if it's 65* or above, but my light jacket is too thin for anything cooler than 70*. It's been in the mid/lo '60s here the past few days, and I've been wearing my leathers, but it just ain't quite cold enough for that yet...I need something "in between".....

if you decide to get the metro jacket remember that it is on the small size, i normally wear a 2xl and got a 2xl metro jacket but it fits more like an xl but the sleeves are cut on the long side. it was almost 60f this morning so there was not much of a cold weather test but the jacket did a good job of blocking the wind. now its up near 80f so i'm going to remove the liner from the jacket for the ride home

 

[detdrbuzzard]

the jacket is also cut long so it won't ride above your waist when sitting on your bike. it has two chest vents, two arm vents ( one on each sleeve ), and an exit vent going across the back. its going to cool down intothe 50's starting tomorrow and if its not raining i'm wearing the metro when i ride to work. i fits raining i my call in and take a day off

 

[detdrbuzzard]

the temp is dropping and there is a cold wind blowing now so i'll see how the warm the jacket is on the way home from work

 

[detdrbuzzard]

well i was warm on my ride home from work but my ride to and from work is not much of a test so if its not raining tomorrow morning i'm got to take a ride for about an hour

 

[detdrbuzzard]

about 41f and 10mph winds gusting to 22mph when i wnet for and hour ride this morning. with some light layering under the jacket i stayed warm. unsnap the collar and zip the jacket all the way up, the collar works as a wind block this way

Sounds like it's a pretty good all around jacket.

i really like it dan now all i need is a better pair of gloves

 

[dan filipi]

Is it heavy enough so it doesn't flap too much in the wind?
I have a lighter jacket that's bad for that and actually makes my arms numb on long rides.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

it didn't flap at all in the wind dan, i think you would like it
