I know that this is new to troy lee, but has anyone had any experience with this jacket? It says that there is leather which made me immediately think that it would be like an oven to wear. I am in need of some body armor and am wondering if this would be a good choice compared to the other brands.

I was trying to load a pic but it said that it was unable to do so. Whats going on?

The leather one if for motorcycles, they also have a bike one that is made from lycra.

Do a search chucklehead... this was just covered two days ago. But just because i'm a nice guy go to TLD website and download the 2005 bicycle catalog PDF it's in there.

I saw it in Troy lee's showroom in Corona. Didn't try it on, but it is a combination of mesh and what appears to be very thin perforated leather. The leather does make it "look" like it would be hot, but the rest looks well ventilated. Otherwise it looks overall like most upper body armor, just with Troy Lee style. I think Dainese still has the edge here as best upper body armor.

That's for Supermoto. The bike one is all mesh.

....And the mesh one is even cheaper.
