If you like lots of vents check this out: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held ... tex-jacket

Too light weight fabric for my liking, as well the Gore-Tex is a removable liner. Lots of other nice features though.

The removable liner is just more to carry when touring, it should be part of the shell IMO. I have 3 pairs of Held gloves, and they really are "Das Glove." Probably is a good jacket.

There's a reason it's removable . ;)

Waterproof textile outer shell, armored leather jacket underneath. Anybody heard of these guys?

Never herd of that brand of jacket, but I have done business with a Vicious Cycle. Seemed OK.

There is a reason why Dick Cheney is a free man. Don't make it right.

There is no need to have a removable liner when you can have a breathable, well vented, waterproof shell.

I'm cheap, I use the same jacket winter and summer. Strangely enough I take the liner out in summer.

I agree about the the Dick,

I'm not sure that waterproof vents exist. Not in heavy wind and rain, anyway.
