The higher priced jackets "breath" better. You will say thanks in july-august. Jeg-Summit have decent prices and inventory. I like simpson SFI5 a couple more bucks than SFI1 but a comfortable jacket and a few more secounds safety if you ever "need" the protection. Ric

Rick, Good to "here" from you!! You will like the jacket. I haven't been feeling to well, so I probably will not be able to make all the point's meets this year, but I am still going to try to get up there as often as I can. Hope to see you soon. :cheers: Ric
