So my old Tourmaster finally gave up, the main zipper blew out and the liner is basically disintegrated. Honestly got my money's worth out of it but now I'm shopping and kinda overwhelmed. I ride mostly backroads and some commuting, occasional rain, no track days. Looking for something with decent armor, waterproof but not a sauna in summer. Been eyeing the Klim stuff but wow the prices. Also curious about the newer Alpinestars and Rev'it options. Do you all go textile or do any of you still rock leather for everyday? And what about gloves, mine are shot too. Budget is maybe 400ish for the jacket if I can swing it. Hit me with what's actually working for you out there, not just what the reviews say.
