Leather Riding Gear

[Guth_imp]

Lost a lot of weight and have to buy some new gear. Debating between the Dainese Tourage Vintage or Revit Igntion 2. Wish the jackets came in short sizes... Learning towards the Ignition 2 for SoCal weather.

Don't know if you've read this thread all the way from the beginning, but I highly recommend that you contact Johnson Leathers located in San Francisco. JL manufactures leathers for various Police Departments and the CHP. For around what you're looking at paying, you can get a custom fit jacket of higher quality construction and better materials from Johnson. Their website does not do their gear justice (and they have enough business that they're not worried about their site). As mentioned previously, my cycle leathers were made by Langlitz Leathers here in Portland and few can match their level of quality. I own a variation of a JL cycle jacket that I use for regular pedestrian wear. I put Johnson Leathers quality right up there with Langlitz for considerably less cost. They can pretty much build whatever you want when it comes to styling and features, so don't go by just what appears on their website if you look into their gear. You'll end up with a jacket that fits you perfectly. If you do end up contacting them, ask for Alan. On a side note, they also are a distributor for Forcefield body amour, which is pretty impressive stuff.
