Wilson Leather

That's a handsome jacket, but not good for protection, unfortunately. Thickness, padding and armor, and very important in a crash, stitching, are what makes motorcycle specific jackets the right thing to be wearing if things get messy. It's also what makes them cost more.

Still, there are usually plenty of bargains to be had on quality gear if you're willing to scour Craigslist. My two piece A* track day leathers were picked up 3 years ago for $200, and continue to serve me well.

They're hardly the latest style, but they're very thick leather with reinforced stitching and extra protection in all the right places.

And careful shopping and $175 got me a new $500 leather jacket for the cooler months that has really kept me warm on cold early morning rides in the mountains.

Bottom line is there are lots of options for you to choose from, and plenty of ways to save money and stay well protected.
