New Jacket Time

Sixxxxer · 03-15-2009, 03:42 PM

Ok Well I am looking for a New Leather Jacket...I found a Few I like Just getting some opinions from you guys.

First one is a Shift Vendetta for 179...

# 1.2-1.4mm Premium grain leather
# Articulated design for superior comfort
# Removable CE approved shoulder and elbow armor
# Stretch fabric panels in key areas for added flexibility and comfort
# Leather accordion panels in key flex areas for unrestricted movement
# Connection zipper for attachment to compatible SHIFT pants
# Reflective piping for added visibility
# Removable/Washable quilted vest liner
# Integrated pocket for a back protector
# MSRP: $329.95 Your price: $179.99

Now I'm Usually a Black Leather kinda guy but I REALLY Like the White/Grey Combo they Have, I.E.

So my question is...People who have white leather...How much of a Bitch is it to Keep clean/ Does it get dirty Super quick?? I think it would give some contrast to my Blue Bike.

Or there is the Typicall Wear the Jacket of the Bike you ride...Its a Joe Rocket but it has Kawi Badging on it...

# 1.2mm Dull Finish Cow Hide
# C.E. rated protectors in shoulders and elbows
# Removable spine pad with pocket for optional C.E. spine protector
# Removable insulated vest liner
# Variable Flow ventilation system
# Snap loops for attaching jacket to belt
# Reflective stripe
# Sure Fit adjustable waistband
# Official licensed Kawasaki product
# MSRP: $449.99 - $464.99
# Sale Price: $205.00

Bahh...I need help spending my Money!!!

Depends on your build.......skinny guys shouldn't buy either of those brands, because they're pretty baggy.

Hey, Sixxxer, have you looked into Teknic gear? You're about my ex's size and Teknic fit him really well.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.....
