it seems to me, you've effectively paid £30, for a fleece jacket for spring, not a bike jacket, for double the cost (and a little more) you could get a decent textile bike jacket, that will do all jobs needed, but if you are happy with it, nice one. Thumbs Up

Spend £100 quid and get a average quality leather Jacket...

I noticed the warmth difference when i went from textile to leather... try find ones with a removabable inner because IF IT EVER gets hot you can still use it

Can't go wrong with Textiles for winter/cold/rain and leathers for summer/sun/warm.

You can get a semi decent textile jacket for around 50quid these days, i have a buffalo one and imola textile trousers - 80 for the set.

It's better than textiles in that it doesn't wear away on concrete so easily, though textiles certainly do an OK job. However it won't keep you warm at all, so if you're looking for an all year round jacket, buy a textile. I recommend Bering, I paid £110 for one about 2 years ago and it's doing fantastically, no wear whatsoever. The shop owner told me if it ever wore out seams or anything just through wear and tear, he'd replace it for free. I've had 2 lowsides in it on a scooter, and it's still not showing any signs of wear.

You can pick them up on eBay for under £70 I'm sure.

Hi

yeh correct me if im wrong people but the first guy who posted saying he knew one that had ripped in a crash, (good point)

But did the rest of you just assume it wasn't textile or strong, because of this?

Or do you know its a bad material?

Thanks
