That IS a good deal, I know another rider with this jacket and can vouch for the quality. My old mesh jacket has had its zipper replaced by me with the wrong color...and has survived a crash and a whole lotta miles. It's beat all to heck, but I can't justify buying another if my ugly old Power Trip is still serviceble...
BTW I don't think the Power Trip was a good jacket as the zipper gave out after a year. The rest of it has done fine. When I crashed, the seams did not give but rather the fabric just got scrubbed. But that zipper breaking is a big deal.

Serena's Contour jacket is real nice, personally I have had three FirstGear jackets and have been impressed with the quality and fit of each.

Girlfriend just ordered one. Now I have to find a way to stall her from buying a helmet while I become comfortable enough to take on a passenger. I told her it might ahve to wait till next summer.

Smart. Shows you care, too. Tell her the ladies think it's hot that you're smart about taking passengers, espcially ones you love.  Better yet, sign her up for the MSF basic rider course!

That's the jacket my girlfriend bought too. It was sized a bit small when she bought it originally at $80 (still a good price). She sent it back, got credit, then re-ordered at the new spectacular price. And she looks spectacular in it too. We've gone out a few times now together... at first in a parking lot, now on the road. Takes some getting used to... Take it slow and steady, 82CB750SC.

I totally suggested that! And even offered to take it again myself so she wouldn't be alone. She's too worried about passing the test on a bike she can't handle because she doesn't like mine. I did tell her that they have 250's and even a few 125's but she's more stubborn than me...we'll see though. Take it slow and steady, 82CB750SC.
I don't see any other way. it's gonna be a while. thanks for all the helpful tips.

I have a few that I troll that are for women riders, she can come check them out & see all the women riding bikes of all shapes & sizes. I took the class this year (I'm a little slow, and sometimes do things in reverse). Those little 250's are a ton easier to handle than yours, I have no doubt she can do it. Or... get her a little scooter to cruise around on to boost her confidence. :)

I bought one of these for my daughter last week. I had to return it for a bigger size. They seem to really run small. Nice jacket for the money though.
