Default Jackets

I'm new to the sports bike world and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for a jacket. I live in AZ so keep that in mind. It only gets in the 40s in the winter but 120+ in the summer.

Thanks,
Vince

There are just too many options for ya. First you have to decideif you want leather or mesh..leather is usually warmer, but protects better..mesh usually doesn't protect as well and is usually cooler.Then you have all the brands and how much you are wanting to spend. As far as websites to order from www.kneedraggers.com Good luck and ride safe..

The Scorpion Hat Trick Jacket is a nice four season jacket with removable liners to accomodate different temps.
