MB member cdwise posted THIS LINK over at Modern Vespa. Several people there bought the jacket shown, so I figured you might like to see it too!

Anybody have one of these? I'm thinking that for 30 bucks, what could go wrong, but I'd be getting two (one for me, one for the lady), and 60 bucks isn't really chump change. (Or I'm a broke cheapskate

)

My jacket arrived today, and at first inspection it seems well put together. The outside fabric is a lighter material than other jackets I've had, but it is windproof. It has six outside pockets (four snap-closed, two slash) and a removable quilted liner that has two more interior pockets. Shoulder and elbow armor, but none in back. Very little reflective material; a 1 1/2" sized spot on the upper left arm, and a 3/4 inch wide stripe across the rolled-up hood. As cdwise was told, they run small. An XL just fits my 6'2"/205 body.

It's still too warm to test in Phoenix, but I expect it to be plenty warm enough for me. For $30 bucks? Recommended.

Well, my jacket just got here from FedEx. It is black, not like the picture. But for 40 bucks total, it is pretty nice. It will be some time till I get to try it out, still 90 degrees here, but it seems like it will do the job nicely. It has a nice zip out liner and a bunch of pockets. Think over sized (thick) wind breaker. I bought an XXL. I am 5'10" 225# I have a large frame, and it fits very nicely. I like to wear stuff big, so if I was at a store I would have tried on the XXXL to see if it was too big or not, but the XXL. Fits. It will likely last a few years as I rarely wear jackets, but only time will tell. Definitely worth 40 bucks!

There is very little reflective material that I can see, I small strip that hides the hood around the neck and a small round patch the size of a silver dollar on the right shoulder/arm. This is a bit more stylish than my rev'itr riding mesh jacket. But I would bet the mesh jacket is warmer with its liner.
