Default FXRG Jacket Nylon or Leather

Anyone have any feed back for this riding jacket?

I am looking for a good multi purpose jacket for long distance trips when the weather changes from state to state.

Thanks!

I have the FXRG Leather Jacket, hands down good equipment. can be unzipped to allow airflow through or zip up and it is warm on a cold ride. Pockets on the inside for accessories, you won't go wrong with either. Hope this helps.

I have the FXRG leather and with the liner, it is the warmest leather jacket I have owned in over 30 years of riding. I have ridden with it in the 30's with just a long sleeve t-shirt underneath and been warm.

I had the textile version and exchanged it for a leather one. The leather is warmer, and the textile one was a magnet for anything like lint or critter hair that I came in contact with.
