Despite the recent advances in materials science and improvements in textile jackets, I'm still a die-hard leather stan. Leather just seems right to me, the proper material for motorcycle gear. I've worn primarily leather jackets since I started riding with a few review jackets sprinkled in here or there. I love a good piece of hide though, and a solid leather jacket should be, in my opinion as the final arbiter in all matters of taste and style around here, the centerpiece of any rider's wardrobe.
Rev'It's Cordite jacket is the perfect example of the kind of leather jacket I'm talking about. It's a simple, no-nonsense jacket built for daily use. It has a classic, straight-sided cut, integral armor, a sturdy, short-connection zipper, and enough pockets and modern amenities to make it an indispensable piece of your gear collection.
