Default What kind of Jackets are you wearing

I've been trying to purchase a jacket now for about a week. Here's a picture of the one I have ordered three times and each time I get a reply that they're out of stock (three different companies). It's a 2008 Shift. I really like the fact that it has some green in it but not too much. I think it would make me more visible without being a Kawasaki poster child.

Apparently I'm not able to purchase this jacket and I was wondering what you guys wear.

If the picture upload doesn't work, here's a link to one of the company's i tried to buy one from.

I actually have that same Shift jacket - I think it's the 08 though, it's all black. It's got good protection in the shoulders, back and elbows. Or so it seems, I haven't tested it.

My only gripe is it was supposed to be waterproof, I got stuck in a pretty good rain and my chest got pretty wet.. Came in through the zippers (which are "waterproofed")

Not a huge deal, I try to only wear it when street riding in nice weather.

If I were to do it again I'd probably get a jacket more aimed for dual sporting.. Looser fitting, more rugged/waterproof..

EDIT: Just checked ebay, this looks nice, might have to order one!!

You want an awesome jacket? You found it

I took the shoulder plates out though, and buy it one number larger than
you'd usually buy stuff

I was wrong - I have the Shift Triton Storm Series jacket.

This one but 2008 - looks identical: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...c=2&zmap=13163

It's in XL if you like it, maybe we can work something out - I hardly ever wear it and I've been wanting a more dual sport targeted jacket.

That's the exact same jacket I've been trying to buy just a different color! I really like it but it looks like I may have to find something else. I usually get a medium and all I can find is large.

I like the triton...hmmm. I also like the one on ebay. I just want something that has some green in it! (and has a good price, and is waterproof, and has a collar, and and and)
