Is this Leather Jacket a good buy?

rjones91 · May 24th, 2012, 06:52 AM

I was browsing Motorcycle Closeouts.com and came across this Speed and Strength Moment Leather motorcycle jacket for $149.00 and was wondering if this is a good buy. Even though I prefer the Red I'd settle for Blue as the price seems like a steal. I know leather jackets can be expensive but I'm just curious.

Seems like a good price to me. Most mesh/textile jackets go for about that price so to find a leather one that will hold up better for the same amount is a steal!

yes. I just bought a textile jacket for $220... lol

of course its A*

Looks like a fine buy, maybe could find something the breaths a little better though for nearly the same $$.

If you're a big person (52), my buddy is selling a Joe Rocket one for way less.

If I was in the market for a leather jacket, Id probably buy it. I like SS gear and I have one of the textile jackets from them that I've worn for 2 years and still looks great. For leather, I prefer cruiser type "hooligan" jackets but yea.. thats a good buy because most leather starts at 300ish.
