so i'm finally getting a nice safe jacket. Dont wuite have the $$ for a leather, looking to spend sub $300.
I like the look of the leather Nero jacket, but at $450 its too $$$
has anyone here worn the nero textile jacket? What do you think?
thanks!
I have the Nero textile, nice mild weather jacket. saved my elbows and shoulders last year when a pedestrian got in front of me. The jacket ripped but it was easily repaired.
Too thick to use in 80 F plus weather
so i got it in the mail today, and it feel cheap. i thought it would have been a heavier fabric than this. was this your impression? man
it is not [bacon]

And that.....is why I hate buying mail order. It's worth it if you're going to be near a dealer to have them order it and try it on before you buy. I have an odd torso/arm/chest ratio so jackets are a touchy subject for me. I have a Technik jacket that cost me $150 bucks and it's ugly as hell, but it was the only thing in the whole damn shop that fit me well and as it turns out the 8 or so pockets come in handy. For the way I ride, it's better to buy a slightly warmer jacket and live through the summer than it is to buy a "mid weather" jacket and freeze in anything below 50 degreees.

No not at all, I picked my up at a CT dealer and it is nice quality. Not too heavy and easy to wear.

There are numerous leather jackets out there for under $300. Just not the ones badged by ducati
iw as looking at a tourmaster for $200, and an Alpinestars textile (breeze air maybe?) for the same $
