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.

I agree on the Fieldsheer being a bit on the small size. A brand I have that is really well made is an AGV brand "Navigator" 3/4 winter coat. Best $59 I've spent related to motorcycles.

USPS got my new jacket out to me from New Enough in like 2 days! I bought it using a gift cert from some returned gloves too, super easy to return the size that didn't fit and use the 110% on the jacket.

I just looked in their Bargain Basement section and it seems they added a Teknic textile jacket with CE protectors everywhere (including the back) for $49.
