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.
