I bought the Joe Rocket Ballistic 7 touring jacket earlier this year after reading a good review on WWW.WEBBIKEWORLD.COM. Ended up returning it after a week as the shoulder armor was loose and the next size down was too tight.
After comparing the Tourmaster Epic and Transition, FirstGear Kilimanjaro, Olympia AST, Scorpion Commander and Fieldsheer jackets I ended up getting the Olympia AST. It had the best abrasion protection of the group - 1500D Cordura on the wear spots and 500D Cordura elsewhere - 1500D Cordura has a better abrasion rating than leather. Has the standard CE shoulder, elbow and back protectors to save your bones in a high speed tumble. Hot weather ventilation is suprisingly good - it has 6 vents in the sleeves, chest and back that keep you cool up to 90F, as long as you are moving. With the insulated liner, keeps me warm down to 28F with just a Tshirt. It's also totally waterproof with the vents closed. Best jacket I've owned. Highly recommend.
