Fox Creek Leather Vented Reflector Jacket
Affordable Protection from America
For me this is one of the most stylish jackets available from Fox Creek Leather. It's flush with features and has a clean straightforward design. And it's one of the few pieces of riding gear you can buy that's made in the U.S.
All of their vented jackets are made from 1.5mm naked leather with a mesh liner and four zippered vents. Adjustment at the side are accomplished with Velcro straps- much easier to deal with than buckles or snaps. The inside of the collar is lined with soft perforated leather for comfort.
This model has reflective piping across the front and back that lights up when headlights hit it (they also offer "naked" and striped versions). It also features two inside pockets, leather hang loop and a full sleeve Thinsulate® liner with neck warmer.
The vents make this a comfortable choice in all but the most extreme temperatures. All in all a very versatile jacket. Plus, like most of Fox Creek's line, this jacket comes with a lifetime warranty.
