I have the Shift M1 Fire jacket in large. Excellent gear - the leather is nice and thick, the stitching excellent, and the armor is way above average.

There is an online store that hase them on sale for $129, normally $379.

Hows the ventilation on your jacket?

Well, I found this jacket on eBay for a KILLER deal (to me anyways!!) Just wondering if anyone had any exoericencs with Shift Products.

The arm panels breathe, and there are some perforations on the sides of the jacket. Don't forget that this thing is leather - not being sold as perforated.

Without the zip-in liner, I've ridden in 90 degree weather. Not too bad until you stop . . . . . I rode in the jacket tonite and was warm as toast.

One of the recent sport bike mags documented the condition of a Shift one piece suit that was being worn when the rider had a high speed get off on the lowside. A few scratches here and there, but still entirely serviceable and looking good.
