[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1305987, member: 11508"] If the OP is still looking around, or for anybody who wonders which jacket/gloves/boots/etc. is "best:" IT'S UP TO YOU. First, you have to decide what [B]you [/B]want. Then you can ask "what jacket does [U]XXXXX[/U] best?" Fill in the blank with "keeps me warm." "Keeps me dry." "Keeps me safe in a crash." "Is comfortable." "Doesn't make me look dorky?" Or some other criterion that's most important to you. Pretty sure no one product can do ALL of them, in ANY category. I will add what I always add in jacket/riding suit question threads. Get good rain gear that you can get on [B][I]over [/I][/B]your other gear. Rain liners are inconvenient to put on after the rain starts, can be too hot, often don't work especially well anyway. But rain gear over your jacket and pants adds a level of warmth, whether it's raining or not, and you can get rid of it when you're done with it. (I don't mean throw it away when the rain stops. You might want it again.) [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
