I almost bought it from them.  Then I found one on ebay for $100+15 shipping.

are they strapped at the sleeve cuff or just elastic?  i have seen poorly secured sleeves of a perfectly good jacket roll up to the bicep i an accident . the spine protector is definately better than my 04 model

They're all fully adjustable straps, they also have the buttons to secure your gloves.  The spine protector was a big selling point for me.

well it is a great jackety.  hopefully you chose a lighter color.  remember the darker the color the more sunlight it attracts and thus the hotter it will be.  mine is yellos

Only comes in black.  I've read a few reviews from people that say despite the color it's a very cool jacket. :dunno_white:

it does look nice in the pic. i personally don't think i'd buy one unless it was cheap. but i think if you got what you wanted it seems to me you got a good deal then.  :thumb:

It's a unique look.  Friggin UPS sucks and delayed it because of weather :flipoff:  so it won't be here until friday :mad:  That's why I love fedex, they don't give a shaZam! if there's a hurricane, when they give you a delivery date it's there.

They pay for replacement.  FedEx is really good about that stuff.  I'm in online sales and ship abut 200+ packages a week FedEx and haven't had a problem from em yet.
