I've got a Vanson Cobra MK3 jacket, men's size 46 regular for sale. This is a GREAT jacket, selling because I recently purchased a full perf Vanson to deal with the NC summer heat and I have a non-perf Vanson to wear when it gets cooler and this one fits somewhere in between.

This jacket is a very high quality, hand made in Boston, MA. It's heavy, 1.6-1.8 mm thick competition leather for the main body and 1000 Denier Cordura in areas that are not prone to abrasion (under arms and arm pits as well as front closure cover). This helps keep the bulk of the jacket down slightly (it is heavy). This is a very comfortable, very substantial jacket. Great for riding and just looking good. Cared for properly, this jacket will easily last a lifetime. Other features:

- Competition weight perforated front with internal controllable ventilation
- Adjustable waistband (internal for safety)
- Zipper covers to prevent tank scratches
- Sleeve vents for cooling, rear vents to prevent ballooning of the jacket
- low bulk collar
- 3 part Jacket to pants attachment
- Double leather in elbows, shoulders, back and side for added protection.
- elbow, shoulder and back armor available, hard or street armor

No scuffs, tears, marks etc on it, even cleaned off the few bugs that were there. It's basically mint, but I took care of breaking it in, which takes a considerable amount of time.



Front:




Back:




Label (American made!!!):




Front perforations, left and ventilation control, right. Vent control is a zip up 'liner' or sorts. Blocks almost all of the wind when up, but neatly rolls away to keep you cool




'Ram Air' arm vents




Rear vents- back of the arm pit




New, this jacket was $575, asking $325 OBO shipped in the US. I also have the original 'serial number' key fob that I will include in the sale.

PM me with any questions and thanks for looking!

What's your height and weight?

6'1", right around 235. Fits well on me, a little snug like a sport jacket should. Will also fit tighter with hard armor, looser without any armor.

Vanson's website lists heights from 5'10" to 6'2", 190 lb to 220 lb. This does have an adjustable waistband, so it's pretty flexible. Also depends on how you are built.

Darn, if only it were a 44.

With the armor, I guarantee it'll fit. It'll be a little loose for cooling in the summer and plenty of room for a fleece or sweatshirt for the fall. I usually go a little big just for that.

Down to $300.

I'll throw in the pads for an additional $25, or sell them separate for $50. New, these are $90 from Vanson. These particular ones have only been used 5-6 times. These are the softer 'street' pads like you find in most gear, as opposed to the hard plastic racing ones. Includes two shoulder and two elbow.

I normally don't bump classifieds ads, but...Bump for an awesome jacket! I've been down in mine at the track...about 75 mph and sliding did me no harm. Scuffed up, but still has a few more slides left in it. Good deal!
