I've had my eye on a different leather for awhile now. But my wife will kill me if I get it....it's kinda pricey. 🤷. Maybe next year. It's getting late in the season to get a new winter jacket anyway. Thanks HTJ!!
I remove all the liners out of my jackets so I can wear a hoodie under it. Helps on weird days if it warms up I can just take the hoodie off. My icon jacket is a little thick, but doesn't give me the same issues yours seems to. nice video and review.
I removed the liner out of my spring/ summer jacket for the same reason. This leather is for very cold days anyway, so I just left it in. I might look into a leather softener until I decide to get something new. Thanks BPE!
I think we both have the same love/hate thing going on with our jackets for the same reasons. The only diff is style and age...I've had my same coat for 15 years. lol. It's the typical style..and probably weighs 5 pounds. hahaha !! But, it's still my favorite jacket.
I've had my summer coat for about 4 years now. I'm still happy with that one. Although a mesh jacket might be nice on those really hot days. Got my eye on a different leather for next year. Maybe....it's pricey and it's more of a want than need. Thanks Randy!!
@@KODEGREY My boots say Harley Davidson on them, do those count? How about the big Bar & Shield on my helmet? Summer gloves are HD too... No? Still doesn't count? DANGIT!
Honest review man.. I always look for the con part . That's where the truth is..plus... What in the fuck is a cafe style jacket... I just thought you bought the red and black version of Wolverine's jacket 😂😂
I’ve actually picked up some RST gear from sport bike track gear Track tech EVO 4 gloves Saber Leather Jacket Honestly my A stars doesn’t fit my body quite well so I’m hoping RST fits better. I didn’t get the jacket yet but holy hell the gloves being kangaroo leather fit and feel amazing and no break in period or dye leaking on your hands. I’m thinking dumping all my old gear and only going RST haha Nice review on the jacket btw 👍 Looks like a few nice days here and there coming up.. If you want an old man on a slow bike to join ya I’m in haha. Damn Ohio weather
I better hold off on new gear for awhile or my wife will kill me! 😂. I might look into something new for next winter though. Yeah, let's keep an eye on the weather. Hopefully can meet up sooner rather than later.
I can definitely understand the con about the leather being too thick. Harder to move around and all. I also thought of another pro for it too. If you have the bad luck of getting in a accident on your bike while riding and you go sliding along the road then the leather will be thick enough to protect your skin so you don't get road rash.
Yeah, the thick leather is definitely a plus for protection. It also has armor in it which I forgot to mention. But it can be cumbersome at times too. Thanks Sis!!
Sounds a pretty good jacket KG as far as safety goes and protection , maybe not so much in the summer months I guess but you do need protection so I guess it's a bit of a trade off . The zips would be irritating if not smooth running I have heard somewhere that using a lead pencil up and down the zips is supposed to help but never tried it as yet so could be wrong on that one 😉So is that it for this jacket now or will you still use it in the winter time ?👍
It's definitely great for protection. I also forgot to mention that it's fully armored too. It's way too hot for summer months. I do have my eye on another leather jacket that I really like. But it's expensive. If it's available next winter I might look into it, but if not, I'm still ok with using this one for awhile. Thanks Crumblymal!!
I'm disappointed that one con isn't that it's not grey. I am highly amused that you spent a large portion of this video talking about how it's thick, it has stayed stiff, and when you go down 🤣
You have a nice day my friend.
Thank you very much! You have a nice day too!
It does look good, KG!
Thanks Noob!! I'll be keeping it for the rest of this season anyway. Maybe more, who knows yet!
Dang. Year and a half. I remember when you got it. Times flies
It sure does man!! Sorry for the late reply. This comment just popped up!! Stupid RUclips!
I can never find a riding jacket that I'm comfortable in ... Nice video 👍👍
I have one. But it's my spring/ summer jacket. Doesn't stop the wind when it gets cold out.
Thanks RR!!
I remember when you bought it, sounds like you’re up for a new jacket! ✌️😂

The red stripes give it some character. I ride a Harley now, so I'm not sure I'm allowed to wear something like that.😂😂😂
You'll just have to replace the red stripes with Harley orange! Then it will work out fine! 😂

I've always liked the look of your jacket mate but how it squares up in the real day to day use matters more. Cool review Kode 😀😀
Yeah, I always liked the look too. I just wish the leather around the cuff was thinner. Or cut differently. Getting gloves on is a chore!
Thanks GJ!
Have you tried adding some zipper wax to the zippers to see it helps to have them properly lubricated?
I've actually never heard of zipper wax! I will have to look into it.
Thanks Dewey!!

👍🏼👋🤘🤙
Thanks for stopping by Flip!!
👍. Like with most things these days, if you really like it, buy 2 cause you probably won’t find again
True. Although I tend to buy gear after it's been out a long time. It's cheaper that way.
Thanks Craig!!
Nice jacket! Definitely a Cafe Racer style - real cruiser riders only wear Harley jackets [I, for one, am NOT a "real cruiser rider", apparently!]
Definitely not a Real Cruiser Rider!! You don't have an ounce of Harley Orange on you anywhere!! Very disappointing!! 😂😂.

@@KODEGREY You're welcome bro. Anytime.
The zippers that’s one thing I always look at. Bad ones ruin a good jacket.
Yeah. I wish these were much smoother. I also wish they were black as well. That's not that big of a deal though.
Thanks MM!

I have enough ( Natural ) grey! No need to add more! 😂.
As for all that other stuff..... I must have been channeling my inner New Englander!! 😁
