Leather jackets - Perf or Non-perf?
 
Anybody rock non-perforated leather jackets during the summer months?

I'm looking to get a nice leather jacket for the chillier bookend months of the riding season; april-may, sept-oct.

Or is perf the way to go for versatility?

I wear a non perf leather jacket year round pretty much, mostly because I just like the aesthetic way more. But that's just me.

During the summer months, it doesn't really get so uncomfortable to the point where it made me want to buy a second jacket. Of course it did get toasty at times, but just leaving the front unzipped gave me enough airflow to not have it really bother me that much.

I would think that perf does give you a bit better air flow. It really just comes down to personal preference

Try looking at perforated jackets with removable thermal liners, its like the best of both worlds, i love my A*.

Non perf. It's better in the colder weather and rain. Up here it's not hot enough to really need a perforated jacket.

I usually wear my textile jacket in the hot summer months, in this chilly weather I wear my non-perf jacket (which has a removable liner) Liner is in during the mornings and out in the afternoons.

Yea I have a textile for those really hot days.
I just don't want to drop $$$ on a jacket that I can only wear when it's cold enough.

I have a textile jacket and my non-perforated leather jacket. The leather jacket lends me a sense of security I don't get with the textile, no matter how much cooler it is when it is hot. I just hydrate properly and rock the leather jacket no matter how hot it is. :)

I have both but find I wear the solid one more even when hot out.....being a pavement meat crayon really sucks :P
