Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

My favorite is when the sleeve gusset zips are on top!

Yep me too. Counterintuitively, more out of the way up there and looks super cool....

Couple of days here in Scotland with temps of around 22/23 degrees had me digging out my properf cobra,, fantastic riding jacket, no complaints at all. Just does everything right.

The Vanson perforations work well but you just have to choose your daily jacket correctly.

Hd has a collab with vanson and Jason Momoa (actor). I don’t really have an opinion on the jacket. Looks fine. Seems like an extra $200 for branding.

That collection has Constantine’s fingerprints all over it. I kinda like the jackets.

The Schott 141, the jacket that started my Schott NYC appreciation/obsession.

Memories of days gone by . This one had over 100, 000 miles on it . Eventually sold all the bikes and sadly the jacket as well.

Sold all your bikes? That’s seriously got to be the sad story I’ve ever heard.

Hi Merv
Not as bad as you might think . I’m 75 now and as much as I’d like to think I’m still pretty good on a bike …. The reality is …..,the reaction time has slowed down. Just a fact of life . But I had a good number of years on bikes . I road them all around the US , I raced bikes in hair scrambles , then 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile flat track , and then Moto-X . Road them since I was 17. My first bike was a 1966 Triumph Bonneville . Loved the bike but hated the Lucas Electrical System . Don’t want to bore you to death so . It’s all good.

I got this Vanson x Union Garage V7 jacket basically new off the Advrider forums after seeing all the good things about it here. I would say it definitely lives up to the hype, being built like a tank yet feeling completely natural in the riding position. Off the bike, I find it a bit restrictive, especially since mine is a size too small (38 on a ~40 inch chest).

I've been searching for a jacket that does it all in all four seasons (not totally out of the question in California). The V7 is more of a two/three season cold weather jacket, since it's so thick and the velvety lining gets in the way of the underarm vents. In short, I really like the way the jacket looks and feels on the bike, but I think I'll be letting it go in favor of something more versatile. All that said, if I see one in size 40, I'd be very tempted!

A couple of new arrivals Belstaff Montanna, and a new to me 2009 Streetglide with stage 3 motor.

The Montanna comes with full KNOX armor and full sleeve liner. My new favorite jacket and best fitting for riding.
As far as the Harley, all I can say is the souped-up motor, is way more fun than I thought it would be!!!

Haha, yeah, reading this makes perfect sense...

I saw the photo first and thought, “woah, I wish my Vanson ‘B’ would fit as great as that!”

Alas, all jackets look great in photos as long as they are one size too small in real life.

Still a great jacket, and you DO wear it well.

Among the things I envy you US boys for: retail prices for HD’s and roads to ride them in (relative) safety…

Looks great. All of it!

Thanks Tom, it was 54 degrees this morning, great weather to ride in. I live in Starved Rock area along curvy Rt 71. Check out the grass, it is crunchy amidst the worst drought In a long time

Yes, too dry here as well. In the last ten days it has rained once, a 20 minute hail/cloudburst five minutes after I got out the bike.

Ride safe!

Much appreciated. I see lots of folks here focused on the Vanson Highwayman, and they should, its a great jacket, but the Bates version also should be on their radar.

I did not see the Trojan. Please tell me it DID not join the trading radar.

Since this thread has been bumped anyway, i've noticed these Vanson-Momoa jackets have pretty consistently been at half price on HD's site for the past few months. Have any of you tried them? Hell of a deal for a Vanson.

Never tried them and have never seen on in a Harley dealer, though I don’t visit them often.
