riding jacket recommendations my old jacket is about to bite the dust so i m in the market for a new riding jacket i m looking for recommendations for a suitable replacement i would like to buy a full aerostich suit but i can t afford for it right now i m considering two basic options buy the aerostich jacket only dunno how much it costs due to recent price increases but i d imagine over that may be pushing my limit advantages include the fact that i can later add the pants and that it nearly eliminates the need for the jacket portion of a rainsuit buy some kind of leather jacket i like a few of the new hein gericke firstgear line however they may be a bit pricey unless i can work some sort of deal advantages of leather are potentially slightly better protection enhanced pose value we all know how important that is possibly cheaper than upper aerostich requirements for a jacket are that it must fit over a few other layers mainly a sizing thing if leather i d prefer a zip out lining it must have some body armor similar to aerostich elbows shoulders forearms possibly back kidney protection etc a reasonable amount of pocket space would be nice ventilation would be a plus however it must be wearable in cold weather below freezing with layers or perhaps electrics please fire away with suggestions comments etc steve steve andersen dod andersen me udel edu andersen zr ccm udel edu ducati i e yamaha srx life is simply a consequence of the complexities of carbon chemistry
