Looking for a decent jacket, up to the 200 pound mark.

Can anyone recommend?

Hi

I have recently bought a weise nomad was 250 but what a great jacket, british made too, the weise dynastar 2 came top in the ride survey.. worth a look in my opinion.

Take care

My missus has a Frank Thomas jacket which is a rip off of the BMW RallyPro jacket and has vents, numerous pockets and removable liner. She really rates it.
Not sure what its called but it has 'XT' on it which I think is for X Terrain or something similar.

or the

Buy cheap, you buy twice.

Search out a Held dealer. By far the best quality you'll get for that money.

I'm looking too but can stretch to the £250 mark so am looking at the Held Hakuna.
Sold at Getgeared.
Can't find any reviews as such though so still on the edge.

If you can stretch to it, go for an Aerostich Darien. If new is too expensive they're sometimes available 2nd had on eBay too.

Hein gerike gtx goretex under £200,better quality than most cheap name brands,frank thomas,held,wiese,akito are all just shite imoa and believe me i've bought enough shite over the years to now value quality and top price does not always mean top quality!

HG Master V. New ones not in your price range , but there might be a second hand one in the 4 sal e section that might do the job of you are a 42-44 chest

Must agree.
Look on their website on e-bay, might get one with slight fault, easily sorted for a fraction of the price.

I'll go with Cherokee, Rev'it Air Jacket and Roto pants are excellent for 'hot weather' riding. I'm riding in the UAE with temps hitting upper 40C and they work a treat. Well put together and finish is top notch. Excellent value as well.
Worth a look. (Check Revzilla web site)
