Comments about Firstgear Kathmandu Motorcycle Jacket 2012:
Rode from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas with this jacket and pants in December. They both worked very well. Hot / cold/ wet / dry we had it all and the Firstgear Kathmandu Motorcycle Jacket by Firstgear held up well. As usual, I fell over a few time (can't really reach the ground on my BMW GSA...). The suit held up pretty well but could be a little tougher in the elbows / knees for extreme adventure motorcycle riding (i.e. expecting to crash). I've had a lot of jackets and for the money this is a very good value.
