I really dislike wearing it but for hot SoCal summers the perforated leather is awesome.

BTW black is the wrong color if you are trying to stay cool lol.

yea i know black is the wrong color but i dont want anything bright and flashy or would clash with my bike.

Also, i really like the Scorpion Elektra jacket! i looked at it online.
i did go try on the Icon jacket that i like at the store in an Extra Small (all that was left) and it actually fit. I was considering on getting a medium or large online but now i think i would have to either get a small or medium.
They actually ran big on me! i couldnt believe i fit an extra small but you are right. they are cropped in the back very short but i sat on a bike at the shop i looked at jackets at, and it didnt make a big problem. I always wear a fitted long shirt underneath to cover my back as well.

Its such a hard decision! i wish i had a better jacket store around here!
