RE: Another GREAT Jacket Found!
james007torres24, dont buy a jacket without trying it on. i would go to bike shop first and see how they fit. personally, the only jacket manufacture that fits me like a glove is ICON. I have 3 other riding guys that share that opinion.
this is the one i bought, and it seems to be fine for now.

I recommend leather over anything. Yeah, summer gets hot, but it sucks worse to loose all your skin off your shoulder (I would imagine). CE approved shoulder and elbow armor, and a back protector pocket. Then get yourself a CE approved back protector (if the jacket didn't come with one).......The Shift jackets (at least the two I bought so far) haven't come with back protectors, but they offer them (which I bought).
I would go with Shift or Joe Rocket. I'm not too keen on Icon, I don't like the fit, quality of materials or the craftsmanship. Shift is top notch. So was my Joe Rocket Honda Supersport textile I used to have. (but rrasco has it now).

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.
