What jackets do you where when riding? I need to shop for one! Do you like leather better or something else? Do you have a winter and summer jacket?

seems like good advice...i think i will follow it as well
I'm looking into buying either an AGV AeroSport or Olympia AirGlide mesh jacket this Spring. I'd love to hear any comments on these or any other jackets. The AeroSport comes with a removable waterproof liner, where the AirGlide is mad of water-resistant material. Not sure how they really hold up. Anybody have a review on these guys in the wet stuff?
Thanks,

That's the type I wear.BRlawman said:
I just ordered a leather jacket with removable thinsulate liner from www.bikerleather.com. I'll let you know how the quality is when it gets here. (The prices are outrageously cheap).

This is where I ordered two leather jackets and two pairs of chaps for my wife and myself a year ago and we are happy. Rock bottom prices and quality much better than the $500.00 leather jacket we looked at....at the Harley Davidson store.
i too wear a pretty heavy motorcycle leather jacket with a removable liner. i am actually considering getting one of those mesh jackets everyone is talking about on here, for those hot days. i don't know what my problem is, i am starting to think all safe and stuff....
I wear a leather jacket unless its really hot. In this case, I use an air mesh jacket with armor. When the Sun is beating down on you during summer months, wearing my air mesh jacket keeps me cooler than just wearing a t-shirt. The air mesh jacket prevents direct contact from the heat but allows air to flow in and out.
I have a great Bellstaff jacket (and pants). It's fabric and is waterproof and windproof. It has a liner, and when I have it in I'm toasty warm, no matter how cold it is. It has armour (shoulder, elbows, back) and lots of pockets. My husband liked my jacket so much more than his expensive BMW jacket that he bought one, too.
Unfortunately, Bellstaff is no longer selling in the US, as of a couple of weeks ago.

I too found the Biker Leather site. Was curious about the quality since the price was so low.
Whistle, good to know you like the products.
Mr. Lycos, I look forward to seeing your post when you get your jacket. I chose the "Pistol Pete" for myself.

I have a Taylor horsehide leather jacket. It rocks but weighs a ton. Great for cold weather riding. A little heavy when it is hot.
oh yeah, i forgot about my other set of gear. i still have my gear that i wore on the Magna, which consists of a Tourmaster jacket (don't remember the model) that has a full zip-out liner, is completely waterproof, has armor in the back, shoulders and elbows, and is very warm. i also have a pair of first gear overpants that are also completely waterproof, very warm, have a full removeable liner and armor at the hips and knees. to complement those i have a pair of Reima gloves that are good down to about 40 degrees without a windshield and are also waterproof. they are the most expensive pair of gloves i have ever purchased (i think they were $85), but they are also the best gloves i have ever owned.Paco said:
Got two leather jackets, one with a zip out liner, had it for years, looks good, name brand is funky "WearMeOut" - is high quality and was pricey. It's not intended as a motorcycle jacket and does not have elastic at the waist but is still quite warm.
My second leather is a classic leather with the American flag on the back, bought at a flea market for $70. It's good leather, soft, and a true cycle jacket.
My latest addition is the Widder heated vest - I know this isn't a jacket but is worth mentioning this time of the year. Works like a charm and is VERY warm.

I was shocked by the quality at such a low price. Once I got the jackets I was amazed at how well they are put together. Very heavy jackets and should last along time with proper leather care.
