Vanson Jackets

They are fantastic, really good quality. Fitted for armour (including back protector) and made in USA!

I've had one of the perforated ones for about 5 years, and to this day I think it may be one of the best quality anything of any sort that I have ever owned.
If you ever have the opportunity, take a ride up to the factory in Fall River Ma. It is an amazing place, the people are great, they will walk you through a bit of the factory if they are not too busy. And trying on all of those great jackets is a hoot.

I've got the VentMax 3 mesh jacket for summer, love it! Great quality and fit, leather/armor at the shoulders and elbows and back protector. They didn't have any made in my size when I ordered it, but had some in production. Took 2-3 weeks to finish - I called after about a week and half to check on it, and was told it was 43.18% complete!! Ok, at least they were on top of the status..lol.

Anyhey, was well worth the wait. Gonna try to come up with the cash for leather come fall...

My dealer ordered it through Vanson, and was told originallt it would be 4 weeks as they were behind in production. But now it is 5 weeks
