Maybe it is just me, but it seems that some of the "new and improved " apparel and accessories out there are a step backward.
I bought a Cortech 3/4 jacket on closeout about 10 years ago for $120 and it has been the most versatile and comfortable winter jacket I have ever owned. My buddy bought one too, and he agrees. The same with the old style overpants, I wish I had bought three pair. The newer stuff with all of its liners, bells and whistles is just not as comfortable and user friendly. Plus, sizing is always an issue unless you try on in a store.
Ebay is your friend for riding gear, lots of good, nearly new stuff out there cheap.
