I lucked out when I was new to riding. Went to a bike meet about an hour from home. They had a charity shop at the entrance, and one of the items was a used leather jacket. I tried it on, and it fit like it was made for me. It's heavy and thicker than you'd believe. I only paid $75 for it, and still wear it to this day, 15 years later.

I took a dive on my bike going down hill on a gravel road doing at least 35 - 40 mph. I was wearing leather chaps, leather jacket, helmet and steel toed boots (for work) as well as gloves. My helmet got ground down to the foam liner, my boots got ground down to the steel toes, my chaps had the snaps on the lower legs get ripped off, my jacket had the shoulder strap get ripped loose, and i had a "bursa bump" on my elbow. I was able to get back up and on the bike and ride home. The bike had superficial cosmetic damage. Thank God for proper PPE.

[joenailfish]

A good rule of thumb that helped my mind set when shopping was
"It's not if I feel safe going out wearing this PPE, but does my family feel safe watching me put it on?"
Idk it helped me do that extra research before I added it to the cart.

I can't stress enough how bad leather jackets are if you live in a warm climate.
I live in Perth, Western Australia and my leather jacket literally only gets worn when I'm going out somewhere nice for a social reasons.
A good textile jacket is essential for 90% of road riding.

Enjoy seeing your gear, safety-conscious videos lately. Thank you for educating those who might not appreciate the importance. Would love to see you share the distinction(s) between CE 'A'/'AA'/'AAA', perhaps in another gear-related piece (e.g., pants or jeans) so that people can make an even more fully informed decision when buying. Thanks again for dropping the knowledge! ✌🤘

i got a Helite airbag vest. looks like a club cut. expensive, yes, but cracked ribs cost more. in case of inflation it'll protect your neck provided you're wearing a full face helmet.i highly recommend

I would also like to add: You want to see them actually list THE ARMOR as C.E. rated. Other wise they could be talking about anything from the pads to the dye. Last thing you want is to go down thinking you have C.E rated armor and it turns out it's just a foam insert.

Excellent video as usual. I've been a fan for years and bought a motorcycle a while ago because of this channel! You guys should make a video on comparing airbag technology. It's a new type of tech usable on the street and track and it would be nice to see you guys compare maybe 2 or 3 of them side by side.

When I was looking at my Scrambler Cafe Racer at the local Ducati dealership, they had a lone, couple year old leftover inventory black leather Ducati by Dainese jacket hanging on a rack, in a size too small for anyone else. I knew I wanted the Scrambler Cafe, and the jacket font matched the font on the bike so I took it down and tried it on and was a perfect fit. Talked the salesmen into throwing it in with the bike! Sure it didn't come with the pads the same way the jacket in the video doesn't but getting a $500 jacket for free makes up for it if I decided to get pads for it later.

I do have a pad filled, breathable mesh jacket as well that I wear during summer months.

Thank you man, am just getting into bikes and this video helped a lot actually. Just bought the one you have. Love the look, and your recommendation is all I needed. Cant' wait to get it!

When I first started riding I grabbed amazon jackets and pants... a full textile set... was like $100 for both peices. I expected it to be terrible but would let me get into riding on a budget in case I decided it wasn't for me. I liked them so much i ordered the mesh set as well. They have lasted fantastic, I still use the textile for riding all winter here in PA. I keep them for loaner gear and the mesh works great off road ADV riding as it is armored and flows crazy air. I've went down off road on my Super Ten without any issue but never tried them out on pavement. But over 2 years of constant use and no bad seams or wear at all. Took so long to replace them because they work so well. Just a thought for those on a smaller budget.

I agree with those points about onesies, but mine literally did save me from myself when I got a bit enthusiastic on a back road one afternoon, so I can't really argue against them.

I find it interesting that practically all the Harley jackets now come with pockets for all the armor. They however only sell the armor separately. My first armored jacket was a leather First Gear jacket, that I bought at the time not the armor, but it was an actual women's fit and it fit perfect! I fell in love with the armor. Somewhere 20 years ago I went all textile, pants and jacket and I love my armored gear by AGV.

Bought the Icon Sanctuary hybrid leather/textile jacket when I started riding years ago. Still have it and it's been great, but it is very heavy and a bit chilly for colder temps (has vents that can't close and the removable inner thermal liner while nice, is a bit lacking). As such I've been looking for a more versatile and lighter jacket. I've settled on the Revit Sand 4. A nice ADV/touring jacket with plenty of protection, features, and vents to still keep cool in the summer but more importantly can close them when the temperatures start to drop to help keep warm. It's also a good bit lighter than my old Icon jacket, which I'll still keep around, as well as has a better thermal liner for keeping warm when needed.

The only negative is that it's not a cheap jacket, but with some shopping around was able to get a fair deal on it.

I have two jackets.

The first is a Tourmaster 3. It's a great jacket for all seasons. The base part is Kevlar lined with pads and mesh for lots of airflow on hot days. However it also has a rainproof shell that zips to it and an inner liner for warmth. It's the one I usually take motocamping because it's so versatile.

The second is a leather motorcycle jacket. It has pockets for a back pad and elbow pads (which I still need to get though I could take them from my first jacket). This is kind of my everyday commuter jacket. Great in spring and fall. Okay in cold. Decent rain protection for commuting. Not so great when it's hot. Looks stylish.

Living in Texas as well, I wear the BILT Amped Jacket. Super breathable with very good protection all around. Love the videos and have made me a better rider.

[ryann]

GREAT video. I know the gear videos don't get as many views but I love that you guys do them.

[eckes]

The “armed response pocket” is so necessary…conceal the sandwiches…also good for walkets, cellphone, side chicks number…

[rabfergy]

Great video, I have an RST jacket for summer, got it in a sale for £85.00 reduced from 145. Last year's stock and new stock in shop so if the latest doesn't bothered you look out for old stock in your local dealers. I have a proper leather jacket for winter. Again got it at a bike show we're a dealers were selling off old stock. £150 down from 250. Deals are out there if you look. Better going to dealership where you can see the quality and check out the fit. Summer jacket can be neat, winter go larger to allow for layers. Enjoy your bikes and keep ot between the hedges.

Whelp, I bought the Harley jacket. Yeah, had to sell one of my children to pay for it. It does come with all the pockets, beltloops and such and the fit for riding is perfect. Heavy as sin so the armour pads I added are a bonus. It bounces thrown gravel no problem. Wouldn't change it for textile. Mind you, where I ride we get warm to hot days in the 'summer' but for the most part the weather always has an edge. Winter - nah, park it or drown. I'm headed south to California this spring so I might get to see how it works in places where it really does get hot. Overall, great info and yet one more good, informative content video. Time well spent.
