I have the HD Nevada jacket. It's a very nice, cheap piece of overpriced ****. Four (4) of the zipper tabs have broke off. Never again. Never again...

My Dad bought me a Cycle Champ jacket from Harley back in 1975 (my junior year in high school) for the super large sum (back then) of $80.00. I kept that jacket until 2001 when I finally outgrew it. Wound up giving it to a little lady that I worked with. Jacket was still in great shape, just needed some of the zippers replaced. I wish I'd kept it, but there's no way I'd ever fit into it again.

Looking to get a HD FXRG Textile jacket for general use, down here in Florida. It just gets to D@MN hot and humid down here to wear a Leather year round.

And, one of two Fox Creek Jackets for cooler weather -
Either the Vented Racing

Or the Vented Reflective.

Now, any ideas on Gloves?

They don't. Harley actually makes more money every year from licensing their trademark then they make from their profit on selling bikes, which in effect makes them a more successful clothing company then a motorcycle company.

Hmmm, I did not know that. I wonder if it is mostly posers that buy their goods.

I have made two Harley purchases, a jacket for me and boots for the wife, both times we tried them on at the dealer then bought them on line. Jacket was used on ebay 75% less than new and looks like it was never worn. The boots were new but 60% of the cost at the dealer. I believe in supporting my dealer but could not pay their prices.
