AGV Breeze Perforated Leather Jacket Review

Well on Wednesday I ordered an AGV Breeze leather jacket in red/black.  It was a steal at $130 online :)  It arrived today (along with my Joe Rocket gloves) and I thought I'd post a short review.  The jacket is extremely well made and the leather is of very high quality.  Putting it on was somewhat strange at first due to the velcro'd-in plastic shoulder protectors, but it fits superbly and the protectors don't move once the jacket is on.  It also has plastic arm protectors and a foam back piece.  It was surprisingly cool riding with it in 85 degree FL heat.  It really does live up to its name.  The perforated leather on the outside along with the mesh inside definitely keep airflow moving.  I also like the reflective trim around the seams, should improve visibility to other motorists during night riding.  All-in-all, I LOVE this jacket.  Plus it looks badass  :icon_mrgreen:

Pros:

* Provides necessary protection
* High-quality
* Comfortable
* Premium-grade leather
* Maintains airflow and cooling
* Reflective trim
* Price (even at retail it's a good deal)
* Looks badass

Cons:

*Weird to put on at first (had to find something)

Here's some pics of it, although my Nokia camera phone doesn't do it justice AT ALL.




Pics of me all geared up on the bike coming soon lol

Thanks very much for the review.  I can say the Joe Rocket "88" is similar in utility and cooling.  Don't know if it is as Bad Ass, nor still available, but get one if you can't find the AGV.
