anyone have this jacket?
Its A LOT of money for this brand, and im not sure what the reputation is on their gear. I got some dough racked up on my credit card points and im looking to drop it on a new jacket.
Anything wrong with wearing white? does white leather get dirty easily? Will it change color quickly?
No FHE with Scorpion clothing. Obviously, white will get real dirty, but will do a much better job of reflecting heat than black.l
On the few really hot days we've had so far this summer, I've worn a white perfed leather jacket I got over the winter. There's mostly Harley guys around here, and I kinda feel like the anti-Harley wearing a white jacket. I got over the self-conciousness as the temps hit in the 90's and I was (almost) comfortable at a light.
and yeah, it gets dirty....but it's a motorcycle jacket.
That scorpion is a nice looking jacket. Never seen one in person though. I looked around for a while last summer for a jacket, but didn't find one I liked until it was too cold to wear it. I got a new Dainese Laguna Seca off eBay for about what the Scorpion is going for. A little thinner leather than my winter jacket, but nice dainese pads in the elbows and shoulders. I added the Dainese back protector and I can't even tell it's there.
i wish someone had a well worn one, i dont mind it get dirty, as long as it doenst look nasty. you know how some jackets just look filhty, and some kind of get a nice vintage color to it. dont wanna drop 400bones on something thats gonna look like a hobo wore it for the last 10 years.
there is apparently a dealer local to me King Cycles, so im going to check it out when traffic isnt so bad this wekend.
id check out the icon accelerant perf. if you dont dig the hyabusa graphics [roll]

i hate those kind of jackets. its like tecknics street stuff. [puke]
I have been wearing this jacket in black, also perforated, for about 6 months now in southern california weather that has included a few 85 degree days. I am very happy with the quality of the leather and workmanship, and also how well it handles the weather. It has seen everything from raining and 35 to sunny and 85 and is comfortable everywhere in between. I paid $360 for the jacket from san diego house of motorcycles after a 15% discount because I bought my wife a full set of gear at the same time.
+1 on the accelerant perf. I love my jacket. I have it in black... the white one is SWEET.
Modest, understated looks, and really great protection. Awesome airflow from the perfs as well, it's like tiny little air conditioning units in your jacket... ;D
