If you have 185$ sitting around, I highly recommend buying one from NewEnough.com. WOW! These were over 300$ new and my friend crash tested one over the summer and it held up extremely well. The armor helped keep his collar bone intact when it endured a hard shoulder hit and the leather took the sliding equally well. These are definitely suited for warm climates but with something underneath they can be used in cooler weather. Great jacket and my red one has years of use under it's belt. I highly recommend this for a Christmas present. Tell someone who loves you that you want one. They are an excellent investment and look good.

 

That is a great deal. Too bad I just bought a JR Sonic this past Summer, ($249).
