Why build in Quality?

Pretty awesome. The leather is crazy-thick, and it's doubled-up in the shoulders & elbows. It's like wearing a leather combat boot--stiff and uncomfortable the first week, but once it's broken in, fits like it was made for you. Unfortunately I gained 15 pounds while my foot was in a cast recently, so I don't really fit into it right now. Need to put more miles on the bicycle and less on the motorcycle on the way to the new favorite brewery down the street.

I crash-tested it once too. Shattered a helmet, sprained my (booted) ankle, and got a big ugly scuff on the shoulder, but no broken bones. It doesn't even have armor, but that doubled-up leather protected me pretty well from the boulder I flew into like a bug into a windshield.
