Has anyone done business with these guys? They have some good prices and I'm considering a riding jacket from them.

Yea, I bought some gloves and a leather jacket. The quality is cheap but so were the prices so I was expecting cheap. I am surprised with quality of the gloves, they are really great for the cheap price. The quality of the leather on the jacket is low but has held up nice. Dont expect high quality because their prices arent high but they are good.

I've bought saddle bags and a jacket from them, and haven't regretted it a bit. David's sort of right - the quality isn't the best, but I have to say that I've seen worse, too. It's not bad at all, just not the best.

Unfortunately you can't really tell how good any riding gear is going to be without sliding down the highway in it.

Well, I ordered a jacket from them.
Its cordura with leather on the shoulders. Theres armor in the elbows, back and shoulders and vented. The sizes run small and the zipper feels cheap with plastic teeth. It looks good, its comfortable and does an excellent job of blocking out the wind.
I wrote a review for there website noting that the zipper had plastic teeth and that sizes run small. I noted the good qualities as well. My review was polite and objective but never showed up on their website. The reviews that are shown are all excellent reviews with not one negative remark. Apparantly my review was censored.
I dont think I will be ordering from them again.
