I have been looking at the website for these people. They seem to have some decent looking jackets at an equally decent sort of price.
I was wondering, as they are a USA company, do any of you guys have their products, or have you heard of how good they are?
Thanks in advance for any info. or even pictures! :smt048

Nippess,
I bought their vented racing jacket 2 years ago. It is excellent quality and very comfortable up to about 90 degrees if you are moving, but like every other black jacket, it it hot at a standstill.
I've done 2 long trips in it and love it. The vents work excellently and really flow a lot of air around my torso. The only failure I've had is one of the sleeve zippers has failed, but I'm waiting till the riding season is over to have it repaired under their lifetime warrantee. It is pretty rain resistant when mink oiled, but for really serious downpours, I put on my REI gore-tex parka over it. I'm thinking of ordering their leather overpants for cooler weather.
