Ok...couldn't justify the HD jacket (fit and price).

RS Taichi - http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=5524

Any thoughts on Icon and specifically the Accelerant (not the preforated one)?

I can deal with $400 if its a solid jacket. Its around what I I paid for my Alpine Stars years back.

That $600+ FXGR was pushing it.

it also should be noted that the FXRG line up carries a LIFETIME limited warranty.

I hear ya... most hd guys don't. I have a Brooks leather jacket. 25yr warranty and I hope to have it longer than that. It's nothing awesome, but it's just a good honest, old school leather jacket. Made in USA!

I have the Accelerant both perf and non-perf. It's a great jacket and very tough. My non-perf has seen 3 crashes and still looks great.
