You have a limit to the amount of money to help save your skin? Try driving your car from now on.
Sounds pretty ignorant to me.

Sorry to be rude. I think you can find some cheap tho. If you're willing to risk your neck. Try icon
lol

Quality leathers are Dainese, Alpine Stars, and Spidi.

Good luck finding anything below $300 that's worth wearing.

i concur, dont skimp on shit like that. buy high quality leather no matter the cost. will be more effective than the money you spend on some cheapass slipon to make your bike louder! do yourself a BIG favor and buy full leathers and some good boots.

I have an Alpinestars Spinner jacket. I'd post a link to it for you...but I don't know how. But it's quality construction and has perforations and zipper vents in front and back to keep you cool(ish) on warm days. Check Ebay. My jacket was over $300 when I was shopping but I bought it brand new with tags on Ebay for $242shipped to my door.

You should check out ebay. Some of the jackets on there you could make a deal with them. I feel you on the $300 part. Thats what my lady told me I could spend, but the guys on here are right, its your skin.

just check on newenough.com, they have good prices on all their stuff and you can get some pretty good stuff for that much. true, you aren't going to get THE best there is, but 300 bucks is definitely in the midrange of prices. 300 bucks isn't exactly shabby for a jacket.

You can get a much better jacket for under $300. Try the stealership. Now is the time to help them get rid of closeouts. I got my Joe Rocket for $150 and it was $350 on the rack.

search around for a deal. Like something that is being discontinued or they are coming out with a new style so they have to get rid of all the old ones. That is how i got my jacket so cheap.

+1 for newenough.com. last summer i was in the market for a jacket and didnt think necessary to pay 300. got a joe rocket retailing for 269 for 190 shipped. i forget what model it is but its a great jacket. ample padding and pretty comfortable with good breathing. its not the leather, its that textile/canvas type thing. nice jacket, especially for 190
