Default Anyone have this jacket?

Hey guys this is my first post. I am trying really hard to save enough money to get one of the new 08 250s. As soon as I first saw em I knew I wanted one. I am trying to figure out how much everything is going to cost me so I know when I have enough to go and buy the bike. I am looking at jackets now and I found one on ebay that I really like. I was wondering since it isnt a name brand or anything if anyone has tried it. I kinda wanted some input to make sure it is a good jacket.

eBay Link

Thanks for viewing and for the help.

personally, i dont like it. reason, it has no internal liner other than the mesh one. the armor is high density foam and there are no vents on it anywhere.

its better than nothing but for under 100.00 bucks you could find a name brand jacket that will offer protection, ventalation and warmth for the cold season.

check out certain icon jackets, tour master makes some low price gear thats great. alpinestars clearance in most shops may get you a 600 dollar jacket for around 150.00 just keep searching and checking online.

Thanks for all the help guys. I want a jacket with a little of that kawasaki green it cause I love that color and I want to match my future bike. I also really want a leather jacket since it is the most protective so I might just keep an eye out for a used one on ebay. Thanks again
