Bad324 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Since selling my Fieldsheer 2pc suit I'm possibly in the market for a new perforated leather street jacket. Problem is I'm kind of cheap so I'm looking for suggestions under $250. Need something that flows air well as my fat ass gets hot easily. I'm not opposed to buying used if its in good conditionSo far all I've found is the Joe Rocket Blaster and Fieldsheer Razor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 teknic chicane jacket. I have one flows air very well. Think I picked mine up for around $200 new. You could buy it off me but it might be to big for ya think its a 50. OH did I mention its lime green LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Being a cheap ass and only willing to spend $250 won't buy you the best...not even close.Vanson.Period.I still kick myself for selling mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Best as in air flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 had a teknic speedstar jacket, that was very good.i liked the way the dainese jackets fit the best, but they are very pricey unless you get one used from some guy on craigslist.the different brands fit differently. go to pony and try them all on and find one on clearance or ebay.

Radio Flyer Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 A* Stage jacket is what I was wearing a few years back. I had a fieldsheer before that.The A* was lighter and kept my safe in 2 wrecks. Perforation worked real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioSV Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) It may not be perforated, but my Joe Rocket sonic 2.0 has zip out panels that run the entire length of the torso and arms. works damn good in the summer time. and with the panels in, It keeps me warm on those cool morning country road commutes. works just as good if not better than my brothers perforated alpinestar leather (forget which one it is). best part was I got it slightly used off of ebay for $160 shipped to my house.

MidgetTodd Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 You need a 2x in the Teknic. I have a M2R that flows nice too. I prefer textile for the street though and love my Icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 A* Stage jacket is what I was wearing a few years back. I had a fieldsheer before that.The A* was lighter and kept my safe in 2 wrecks. Perforation worked real well.Another vote for the A* Stage. I've had mine for ~5 years now and it has been a great jacket. Held up very well to my lowside a couple years ago and came away with such minimal damage that you'd be hard pressed to tell it's been down.It's apparently been discontinued, but I've seen a few of them out there for about what you're looking to spend.

ReconRat Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I also wish to have a perforated leather jacket. I'm thinking it will be rather hot this season. I would want one that doesn't look like Joe Racer though, a traditional plain black or brown jacket. Most of those are already cheap. Don't make me get out my 1960s Brooks gear. Not sure the pants would still fit...edit: they might still fit, you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadyone Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/sport/leather+motorcycle+jackets/shift_vendetta+perforated+leather+jacketI like this one.. But shift is done making street gear now so its last years model.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 not a fan of that one however that Diablo isn't bad! Last years model doesn't bother me at all. Cool flowing, price and look are most important to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3.0Its Textile/Mesh, but it works great in almost all weather conditions. Still armored, so you'd get at least one solid crash out of it before needing replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
