I have been taking the 'gear up' message to heart, and working on getting proper riding gear in order. I was a bit stunned at how expensive the jackets were, but I figured that its not an item you want to go cheap on.
Last night on Craigslist this jacket pops up. 3/4 length, armor where it matters including spine. Lots of venting and a nice liner. Joe Rocket. $125 brand new. The guy had been selling the stuff over the internet, but the business fizzled, and this was the last he had of this model. Did I get a deal, or does this stuff get blown out at the end of every season?
