I have the dragster...I really like it.  It's got perf in the arm pits which does bring the temps down.  I rode in it almost everyday here in Michigan last summer.  I have also taken a spill, and it still looks good, just a little black missing from my left side...But at least I still have skin.  Lots of pockets on the inside and a removable liner.  Over all I'd give it an 8/10.

love the look of the dragster jacket, but i needed something fully perfed.
i also couldnt really afford them...

i had tried one on at a dealer while i was on vacation last year, and did find it to be a little bulky though. but i never did take the liner out, so i can't be sure.
