Does anyone have any experience with A*'s relaxed black label jackets?

I'm about 5'8'' and 170 pounds w/ a 40" chest. I wear a size 40 in most brands, but the black label jackets are sized S, M, and L.

The A* MX-1 Jacket i have is the black one and at the moment is for sale, its BRAND NEW still has the tags on it and is in the factory plastc garment cover. Its an awsome jacket! its a size 56 that i bought online and its to small. the store i bought it from wants a 20% restock fee so i was like f that. anyway i paid 500 and i want to sell it asap cause i cant get another one till i sell this one (and i want it badly). its 475 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 (shipping elswhere i would have to calculate)

What's the deal with Dainese stuff?

Why is it SO much more expensive than all the other stuff???

The Dainese BORA jacket looks great though.

I'm thinking about picking up a suomy Spec 1R flowers next. Helmet looks great.

It's pretty much designer/runway kinda stuff as far as motorcycle apparel.

I had an RF800. Good enough for casual riding. It doesn't vent a lot, especially compared to the high-end models, but it's also a little bit more quiet.

I am just a little worried about the integrity

EGlovr

id be a bit wary about a helmet that dropped off of the seat of a bike onto a driveway too. what the date of manufacture on it?

as long as its not too old, you should be fine

i like them...theyre comfortable and plenty of protection for everyday/street use. if your looking for boots for the track id go with someting a lil better...but again for the street and some spirited backroad riding id say you cant go wrong with the set-up visions
