Fox Creek Vented Reflector Jacket
I love this Jacket, I decided not to compromise and I paid above my means, but I did not want to skimp out. I wanted a certain style, some reflection for safety, quality of build and thickness of leather. Once I saw this Jacket I was hooked and everything else just looked like cheaper made overseas knockoff. The reality of the jacket lived up to my own mental hype. No disappointment at all.

Very nice weight of leather, feels like it should, heavy, thick, soft, and the smell. Several people in my office commented on the great leather smell. I will probably need to buy a large wood hanger, as I think the heavy duty plastic one I have will break under the weight.

Lots of features which you can checkout at the Fox Creek site. One feature that was nice is the neck warmer that tucks away into the liner. I have used it twice already for the cold morning (4 deg C) ride to work, does the job of keeping the cold wind from hitting my neck just above the snap collar.

Actually I felt less wind resistance (I do not have windsheid) with this jacket. It is just thick and new that at 120 km/h the wind resistance I used to feel seams less now.

Definately there does not seam to be much in the way of cheapness in this jacket at all. Good materials and good assembly and fitup.


I also picked up a pair of gauntlet style fleece lined deerskin gloves. Not the style that I really liked when I started biking. But after riding in some cold mornings, I have seen the light of the gauntlet and I have put away my shorty sporty gloves for the summer.

If like me you are able to convince the loving wife that you need this type of jacket for safety, and that you do not have time to shop around all over the place just to find out that everything else is not as good and made over seas. Then Fox Creek is the place for you, you will not be disappointed.
