They were on the closeout/discontinued rack.

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 !

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.

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.
