I'm on the hunt for a good touring jacket but I can't spend $400 - $600 for one. I saw one I liked on a site that sold Acerbis products that sold for 143.95. Now, I can't find it again. Does anyone have recommendations? Will, Madison, WI

I just picked up a Jacket and Pants (Joe Rocket) from www.newenough.com. It was a closeout special for less than $250 delivered. They have plenty of other jackets and such for cheap $$. Rich

Will, Motorcycle Closeouts has the original FirstGear Kilimanjaro for $158.00. I have been using this jacket for almost five years and have been pretty happy with it. http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=50-9574 The Belstaff Discovery is another good jacket from what I hear. There are usually some goods deals on Belstaff stuff on Ebay. John Lyon --- will gilmore wrote:

Wrong. The original Kilimanjaro is made of heavy duty leather. I wear one all year long. I had a nylon version and quickly got rid of it, too hot and sweaty. I love my leather Kili, and almost no one else has one. Plus it has great pockets and breathes air like no other vented jacket. I wear it all summer. I've worn it since I got it in 96, about the time they stopped being made.

New Enough Leathers http://www.newenough.com/ always has closeout stuff. The last time I looked they had Joe Rocket Revolution jackets at a real value price. Worth looking at, imo. Don't know anything about Acerbis. Ride safe, Don Kime - VFR750F, GL1500SE, GL1100, KLR 650 OH - M/C Safety Instructor/RiderCoach dkime@... http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTourer/

Also check http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/ they have odd lots, but very frequently have 3/4 length touring jackets of varying types.

I really like my Cycloak Evolution jacket that I bought from motorcycle closeouts. The armor wasn't confidence inspiring so I upgraded it, but otherwise the jacket has been great. -Lujo Chris wrote:

I hit their page while "working" this afternoon in the office. They have the Firstgear "Baron" jacket in stock. It is crudely similar to the Hein Gericke Dakar jacket, and also to my original leather Kilimanjaro. I don't think the Baron would fit me. I did select a Firstgear Summer Chief jacket. I had one of these last year and loved it, but it was an XL and made for someone fatter than I. So I sold it to someone fatter. You see, at 53 this month I am still slim and trim, and look good on a motorcycle. So I was pleased to buy this absolutely first-rate stylish jacket in a different size, LT, which I hope will fit. This jacket has perforated leather, one big chest pocket similar to what is on the Kilimanjaro chest, and antiqued bronze zippers. I sure hope if fits, I'll look good in it on the Moto Guzzi I put a deposit on Saturday while in San Francisco. Look for me, I'll be the one with two chicks both named "Gina". Yes, the ones with the long legs. Hey, why not dream a little?

I thought I had most venders on reserve. Thanks for the reference, but they do not have my size, but great site. I sent it (the home-site) link back to the KLR group and am sending this reply to you and list to affirm the fact that you sent me the main link - I simply reduced it to the core for other to use. Thanks John.
