That Bates is seriously another level altogether. Wish I had something to trade...

I have no problem holding onto it until you have something to trade or want to purchase. Really no trouble at all. It just sits in my closet. Just say the word bud.

Gone like the wind, to my brother. The prick will probably try to flip it for more loot in NYC.

All this talk about the Schott is making me want to pull an HH (I hope he is well.)

Lol. That guy. At least I ended up with a much better Vanson HC from you in the end! If only I can get the collar from rubbing my helmet, it would be sweet.

That happens with my Chopper. I tie a bandana around my neck so that it sits between the helmet and jacket. It has helped quite a bit.

That ‘roo jacket is really cool. But it’s also too big for me. :(

It is a cool jacket with a few configurations to wear. A bit different than the normal cross-zip. In discussions with a local rider who may purchase it. Lightweight is what most folks prefer down here.

I've been watching this thread with interest & desire. I'm new here, so don't want to offend. But wonder how the fit is with the Kangaroo &/or denim PERFECTO? I typically wear sz 44, however my Vanson 44 is a bit tight but Cooper A2 in 44 is good fit. Other jackets I have range from 42 (fits like the Vanson) to 46 - o.k. If it matters, I'm in Arizona - so prefer lighter weight that can be layered when temps cool or riding in mountains.
Thanks for info.
Enjoy the F.L. forum. Ric.

No offense at all, wouldn’t worry about that too much. Welcome.

Which Vanson 44 do you own that is too (or a bit) tight? I am very familiar with their sizing and will have a better idea about the fit of these two jackets. I already suspect that the denim Perfecto won’t work for you.
