Okay, I had four motorcycle jackets (Vanson all-perf leather, Hein Gericke non-vented leather, Teknic Hurricane and a Joe Rocket Phoenix). I wore the Phoenix a little one summer before I got the Vanson, then stopped wearing it (redundant). The Teknic I only wore when it was really cold. Mostly, I just wore the Vanson in summer and Hein Gericke when it got cool. But I wanted a ? length jacket???.
So, a couple weeks ago, I ordered a Teknic Stinger from newenough.com. In usual fashion, they had it at my door in two or three days. Regular price was $239, but they had a few sizes ? including 46, mine ? on closeout at $79.
This thing is great. It?s snug ? really a perfect fit, but I suspect you can?t have much of a belly for it. It?s advertised as a 2/3 length jacket and feels perfect on the bike. Construction is very solid, armor doesn?t shift, it has lots of pockets???..very warm too. There is a removable liner and some decent-looking vents, so I think it?d be okay in warmer weather, but I wasn?t looking for that.
Looks like they only have red/black in 44 and red/black, blue/black and silver/black in 46, but if that?s your size, this is a great deal.
