    Firstgear TPG Rainier Jacket. Picked it up from motorcycle superstore on clearance for $99.99 ($399 retail). For me it has been waterproof and kept me warm at temps below 14 degrees F (I have seen the air temp reading on the VFR show " - -")!

    That had to be one of the best sales on a MC jacket I've ever seen. I had just purchased the Kilimanjaro on a closeout for $150 and came across that Ranier sale...too good to pass up. It's a really great jacket too...I especially love the thermal liner. One of the few I'm comfortable wearing as a jacket around the campfire...not too dorky.

    DKNY all the way. Labels out so everyone can see how cool I am. Damn problem is that all them other dudes have thier labels showing too and the competition is fierce.

    What is the best jacket to wear if one has a mullet?

    I have a Fieldsheer Aston that I use for most everything. I have some cheap Firstgear mesh for the really blazing days and an Alpinestars 7-2 WP that was my old jacket and is now my wet weather.

    Pretty much wear my Icon Hooligan Stealth year round. LA does not get very cold & this baby works fine with the liner OUT in the summer.

    When it rains or those chilly 50 degree So Cal winter nights I picked up a Alpinestars
    Messenger which I found out is great for the rare rain too.

    Okay Husband, so I have to ask... are you a mormon? :)

    Oh, and so I'm not hijacking the thread - I wear a Dainese Stripes jacket. Best jacket I've ever owned so I bought two of 'em. Just in case...

    Nothing fancy.

    I wear Teknic Chicane 1-piece leathers when I'm out only to ride or on the occasional trackday.

    If I'm commuting or going out for non-riding activities then I wear my Alpinestars jacket.

    I have JR and Fieldsheer textile jackets for the colder months.

    I've got a pic of my main workhorse (my old Vanson jacket) in post number 27 of this thread Capn.
    It fits so well and the thing is so soft and comfy it's like putting on a second skin.

    I see it now, good looking jacket. Mine is only about 6 years old so not quite broken in yet. I got it used but it has the flex panels in the arms which is nice. I need to get some armor for it, nothing right now.

    I'm still retro...Dainese Team 2000 2 pc leathers that I purchased back in '89 and they still fit (somewhat). On hot days, I have a Joe Rocket with a zip out liner and vents.
