Worty of $190????

A* Leather jacket. I'd say there would have to be something fucked up with it for it to not be worth 190.

Agreed, I love everything that I have from a* and the quality is great.

So its a good buy?

I need something cheap because i am running short on cash right now, but i think I've decided I want leather rather than mesh. I know its gonna be hella hot in the summer, but i'd rather be protected..... And this is the cheapest "big man" jacket i've seen around.

This last one comes in four colors from Icon but the XXL is in Red. Oh and it's the cheapest perforated leather jacket I could find in 15 min anyway...$99. If anyone else is interested,they have them in other colors but only up to XL.

Look for perforated leather if you are worried about the heat.

Humm...that red Moto GP jacket would match my bike. :bash: :lol:

ironpony.com is another goo dplace to check out

Tried them,he said "big boy" so I only searched XXL+. Iron Pony only had the one jacket in those sizes on sale/clearance.

That jacket is g to the a to the y!

Which jacket? The Alpinestars or the Icon?

The white A* in the OP.

I have an Iron Pony about 25 minutes from me. It's heaven... but all of their clearance stuff is smaller than me.

I wear 2x t-shirts.... but a 3x jacket fits me best.

Whats wrong with the white jackets people??? I really wanted the white scorpion, but its so damn expensive.

Yo,fuck those haters! White gear is the bomb!

Yeah... the bomb I left in the toilet this morning.

:lol: Fucking hilarious. And I like white gear.

Ya I like white to. I dont have any white gear but I think it looks good. I got a buddy who wears all white. looks like a damn storm trooper, and i have to admit the all white is pretty gay lookin but with a splash of color white looks real nice.

If you're shitting all white,you might want to have yourself looked at by a physician...I'm just saying....

Especially white and red

The wife and I ran across these two jackets this weekend and bought them.

My b-day is in May so it's an early gift and since she was paying for it she wanted one too and bought herself one. Suger Mama FTW !! :lol:

Retail $399 but we paid $199 for the blue and $150 for the red. :rockout:

They were on the closeout/discontinued rack. :idk:

Now THAT is a good looking jacket.. Good deal too.

I have that same jacket in all black and I absolutely love it. Little snug when walking around in it, but very comfortable for riding and very sturdy feel to it.

I read where it's more for riding and not the best "casual wear" jacket so this makes sense.

Glad to hear you like it so we should too.





Also...

Thanks Rider !

Agreed.

Where did you find it Z06???? Any 3Xs left???

Sorry just saw this.

Cycle Gear on a rack marked "Clearance and Discontinued"

Their website shows retail of $399. Some other vendors have the red jacket for $277 but nowhere did I find the prices that we paid in the store.

What's cool is that they didn't even have "our size/color choice" on the rack so we both just tried on another color that fit to determine size and they had them delivered from another store for the same price. Well I say delivered...they should be here today or tomorrow...fingers crossed. :lol:

^^^^^^^^Ok picked the jackets up yesterday after work

and they are just as promised. :rockout:

You ride in them yet? Im waiting on my a* boots to show up then Im done gear shopping for a little while. Still cant decide if I want to buy track pants too or just wait til next season when Im settled into a real job and buy a 1 piece for twisties and track days.

No not yet. I had to do yard work lastnight and they are calling for storms tonight but will tomorrow and/or Sunday. I may also grab some track pants later on down the road but not anytime soon since they will zip right up to this jacket.
