    I am looking into a 3/4 coat for the cold weather here in the East Coast to wear with an electric vest/coat. Anyone have a 3/4 coat they like? I tried a Darien, but was very uncomfortable. Kept riding up in the shoulders. I think they are more for an upright bike.

    Thanks..

    I use the Killamajaro (sp?) Air 3/4 jacket myself. A nice, quality jacket IMO. Made by Firstgear.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you use an electric vest or fleece under it?
    Wondering how the jackets are size wise?

    thanks...

    the liner it comes with was VERY warm when I tested it in the 50 degree mountain air here in the outskirts of Vegas. However, I mostly ride with this jacket in the 60's through 80's, and switch to my very meshy JR jacket in the 90's to 100's. I like 3/4 jackets though because I'm 6-3, and I hate it when cool air rides up my sides and back, unless its a hot day.

    I imagine the liner from the Killamajaro will be all I need, perhaps with a turtleneck shirt, in the winters of Vegas, which are in the 50's.
