Turbine Men's Motorcycle Perforated Leather Jacket

This is my 2nd jacket from First Mfg. I already own a partially perforated leather jacket from Merlin, but I was looking for a leather jacket with full venting for the hotter Nevada summers. I do prefer leather to mesh given comparable performance. This jacket is lighter in weight but does not feel like it will fail during a slide. It is robust enough and vents well. I will be curious to see if it will hold up to near triple digit temps this summer, or if it will have me swapping for my mesh jackets. Either way, I will find plenty of use for this jacket. I ordered the level 2 shoulder/elbow armor from First Mfg as well. Soft, pliable, and not intrusive at all for level 2.

First of all, this is a high quality jacket. I was completely impressed opening it up and trying it on for the first time. Quality zippers, perfect seems, and also has some weight and thickness I find comforting. I’m 6’0’, 190 lbs. and the large fits perfectly. I can tell even if I get down to 175, which is my weight in a perfect world, it would still fit great. Also, the airflow was much better than I expected. I live in the Palm Springs area, on SoCal, and it gets hot. I could still where this most of the year and not overheat at all. I’m extremely satisfied and would buy from First Manufacturing for my next leather riding jacket. I also added the armour, and you can’t tell it’s installed at all from the outside.
