Default Input needed... Teknic Leather Jacket

Spotted this pop up on NewEnough. Seems like a good enough deal not to pass up. Any thoughts on this jacket?

Default Teknic makes decent gear...

...it's not as top-shelf like Dainese or Alpinestar, but they're definitely nice. It will protect you if the situation arises, so if you like how it looks and the price is right it's a hit. That particular model boasts a lot of perforated leather so you may want to throw a waterproof overcoat on it if you're riding in colder weather. Something to consider.

usually you just add 10 to the euro size to get the US size. I think that's how it is.

Default Went to Loudoun the other day...

they didn't have much that really felt comfortable on me. Everything was either too small or too large. Though they did have a really nice full leather Joe Rocket jacket on sale for 25% off. The wife was with me, so she saved me the other 75% as well.
