Default Another GREAT Jacket Found!

Yet another Shift jacket has gone on clearance, but this one is breathtakingly awesome. Of course, it's leather (and is vented VERY well). Just got mine today in the mail, and I have to say, I love Shift even more now. This new one fits better, looks better, has MORE armor built-in and just........IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. I remember wanting this jacket about 1 year ago right before I bought my bike, but then it was $429.99.

Shift has it on their website (http://www.shiftracing.com) on clearance for $199.99. Worth every penny. Also, they have a 2-piece leather suit that uses this same jacket for only $299. Trust me, it's worth looking into.



I got the red one, but they also have blue and black available.

Great choice! I bought the one-piece blue/black/white from DennisKirk.com last week. I LOVE IT!!!

I was told this months cover of Cycle World has a guy wearing the same suit on a 600RR.

I hate those jackets for riding. I like the feel, but suck for riding (IMO). The arms aren't curved for riding and the jacket is stiff due to that. After the last ICON gear I had, I will never own anything Icon again. It breaks down to easy.

But as for just wearing, its a good jacket IMO
