Default what kind of jacket do you ride in

What kind of jacket do you ride in,classic biker,cruiser, nylon??? Do the zippered vents that are common in the "classic biker" jackets work ? I found a jacket I realy like but it does not have the zippered vents.

I really like the vents in my jacket and don't think I'd have another jacket without them!

Leather with vents and armor. When I hang it on the back of a chair...it falls over.

I wear whatever I happen to grab depending on the weather....leather,nylon,sweatshirt,bluejean sorta shirt over a teeshirt...it's not a freekin style show out there,leastways,not to most of us.

Oh,and make sure your gloves match your coat that matches your boots that matches your sun glasses and you'll be good to go.
Zippers.....get all the zippers you can find that way,you can have a seperate pouch for your smokes,cell phone,IPod,and the matching sunglasses..............

What ever it takes to keep me warm and dry.
Leather, Denim, Flannel, Gore-tex or T-shirt.
At my age, ain't much on making a fashion statement!!

Depends on the weather like most of the others have already mentioned. Although I have to admit there ain't nothing better to ride on a nice warm day doing the T-shirt thing with a cool breeze. Don't get much better than that.

Like some already said, whatever the weather dictates but yes the vents on a leather jacket do help if the temps go from cool to hot and back to cool before the ride is done.
