RE: Just Got Some New Gear - 3/22/2007 5:34:41 PM    aaron1085 Posts: 870 Joined: 3/7/2007 Status: offline the liner comes out easily and the jacket feels good with and without it in. Compared to the Alpinestar jacket i tried on, this one has a more (broken in) leather feel so it's not as tight at first when you are wearing. I actually just got it this past week so i havent had a cance to try it inthe summer time and not much recently either, i did wear it to work last night though and with a high of about (30 degrees) it kept me warm. it has a lot of vents in the front and back and shoulder area, so im sure it wont be too bad im the summer.  _____________________________ 2004 Black and Silver 600RR 2004 A4 1.8T Quattro Tiptronic The Truth Shall Set You Free Looking for High Quality, Low Cost Printed Apparel?!

No glove I have ever put on has ever come close to Spidi Carbovents. When I trashed those I picked up the GP Techs. They're good, comfortable, and protect pretty well. They must have went up cause I payed $160 for mine. Now they're about $240 oops. < Message edited by 13brsxsrr -- 3/22/2007 7:40:07 PM > _____________________________ (in reply to aaron1085) Post #: 4

You also might want to check icon merc gloves. Those are nice too. The short gloves go for about $65-$70. (in reply to davefolds3) Post #: 10
