I've owned an Airglide II for a few years, and recently replaced it with an Airglide 4. Yes, I love that jacket. But, I needed an Olympia jacket for colder temperatures.
I looked at the Dakar jacket, and the Motoquest. After trying both of them on, I liked the overall feel of the Dakar better--it wasn't quite as stiff, and the liner that's against your skin (bare arms) feels much nicer.
I had sufficient funds to buy the Motoquest, but bought the Dakar instead, based on the way it felt on the body.
I drove to Chaparral Motorsports to try on all of their jackets (including Olympia, Klim, Alpinestars, Scorpion, and more). Being you're in Palm Springs, that's what I'd recommend.
