Often has great deals. If you don't find a great deal, keep checking.

Lots of other places have sales and end of season closeouts, too.

Good luck.

If you are looking for leather, Leatherup.( Motorcycle & Leather Clothing Store - Motorcycle Jackets, Helmets, Biker Boots, Leather Pants & Chaps) or
http://www.jafrum.com/ are 2 good places with good prices.

New enough has other armoured gear and sometimes good closeouts

E-bay ... but only if you can take a week or two to wait for the "right" one to come up at the right price ...

Some new, some used ...
some used a very few times and then the rider decided riding was not for him.

+1 for NewEnough.com. I've gotten some great deals on quality gear from those folks.

I also check out Bike Bandit, Cycle Gear and any other reputable retailer. Ya just never know when somebody is gonna decide to put a quality piece in the bargain bin just b/c it's become a slow seller or "out of vogue".

Best of luck!

Looks like the same no-name jacket sold under several different names. Reviews so far are actually pretty good, although I've never seen one of these jackets myself.

I ride every day, rain, shine, heat, etc. and I beat the hell out of my gear. Personally, I stick with better-known names like FirstGear, Fieldsheer, Joe Rocket, and TourMaster/Cortech.

Also a vote for Newenough. At the store linked- go to closeouts. right now they have over 10 jackets under $100. Check each manufacturer. Get what you like. If you like it-you'll wear it.

If you buy Fieldsheer, buy it a couple sizes bigger than you think. They run pretty small. Opposite of First Gear...

Aerostitch is supposed to be the best. Its pretty pricey though. I love my First Gear Killamanjaro III. Now there is the Killamanjaro IV and the Ranier that are supposed to be even better. They say that Tour Master is really good. I bought a new Tour Master electric vest, as I'm now too fat to fit into the Eclipse electric vest I bought in the 70's. Doesn't work. Never worked. No customer service. Sucks

They will get no more business from me.
