Jacket thoughts for the new rider

Lots of good jackets out there, I have a closet full of them.

Best reviews are on Revzilla and Motorcyclegear.com
 
jackets

Not cheap but very functional are the jackets from Aerostich. You can get the jackets with or without the liner. Jackets themselves are Gore-Tex and hold up well in the rain. When riding in very hot temps, I wear under armor under the jacket and just wet myself down , then put the jacket on. These jackets have good armor in the shoulders and in the elbows with plenty of pockets to store things. There are plenty of great jackets out there, but I love my Darian from Aerostich.
 
Jackets

One other thing, Aerostich is located in Duluth, Minnesota and their jackets, pants, and Roadcrafter suits are all made in shop right in Duluth. They are extremely helpful with sizing and alterations if needed.
