I'm sorry - wasn't paying attention to the thread I guess....

I have a Horizon jacket, Explorer jacket and a Trophy jacket.

I also have a set of Explorer pants - XL - (worn once) that I'll let go 
cheap if anyone is interested.

Horizon Jacket:
Leather with large collar. This replaced the HG V-Pilot as my every day 
jacket. It is extremely comfortable, has good ventilation for summer use 
and handles fairly cool temperatures. The collar sucks and I promptly had 
it removed by a qualified leather worker and cut it down. I use it along 
with my HG V-Pilot pants (had a HG zipper added to the jacket).

Explorer Jacket.
I was hoping that this would be my new all season (Florida) jacket. I found 
it very comfortable in the 60-70 degree weather, but found it too warm for 
anything above that. Light nylon is not my favorite anyway as it tends to 
balloon with speed. I removed the armour and put it in my Trophy Jacket. My 
wife now uses the jacket as a "rain jacket" over whatever jacket she wears 
when we go out in questionable weather.

Trophy Jacket.
This is the "bomb" for cold weather riding. It was a "joke" gift from my 
parents (pretty pricey joke...) but I actually have used it a couple of 
times. If I lived further north, it would get a lot more use. The jacket is 
heavier, so I have found no "ballooning" problem.
