I wear an ICON ARC jacket. It has a removable liner as well. I've worn it all winter long, even when it's gotten below 0 and I've never gotten cold. On a bike however, I'm comfortable until the windchill gets in the negatives and then I just wear a sweatshirt underneath or UnderArmor. And of all things they come with St. Christopher medals, always a nice touch.

Mines all black, which goes excellent with my midnight black scg and flatte black Scorpion EXO-1000. : D . Why not be fashionable and comfortable?

I love my Buell Bolt jacket. Textile, removable vest liner, nice fit (no flapping, precurved sleeves), good looking venting (only had it in the cold so haven't had a chance to try it out yet) and with my heated jacket liner I'm toasty warm below 20 degrees.

Last I heard, Bumpus (a sponsor) had some in stock. Available initially in black/gray/white and black/blue/white, but I don't know what sizes/colors they may have left.

Newenough.com has some good-looking leather on closeout. Do any of the site sponsor dealers have any cuell buell leather jackets?

I'm thinking about picking up one of these

I'm also thinking about a NJK leather jacket, as with a leather purchase you get a textile jacket free.

Just received the scorpion jacket from newenough yesterday. Great value. Very warm w/ the liner. Rode around in sub 40 deg and no need for heated gear.
Very good quality med. weight leather. Already soft feel to it and I like the longer length than ordinary sport type jacket. Well worth the price.

Cool thanks for the info. I kinda dig the black and silver one. Either way can't beat new enoughs price.

Anyone know a good spot to find Tall size jackets? From all my searching it seems Newenough has the best selection of Tall sizes, I'm just hoping there's one I'm missing. Being 6'5" makes it hard to buy jackets, especially buying one without trying it on.

I have a Perforated Icon Accelerant and absolutely love it. Removable liner makes it like wearing a t shirt in the summer, throw a sweatshirt under it and I can tackle 20 degree Wisconsin weather no problem.

After $100,000+ in hospital bills, I got one of these. I hope I don't ever find out if it actually works.

Strokizator, that's very interesting. I wonder how effective it is. I hope, like you said, you don't find out..

looking for riding gear? Ebay is your friend! I got a steal of a deal on Ebay last year. A Buell jacket and pants set. Just look around, you'll find something.
