Harley-Davidson review

Harley-Davidson makes sense for cruiser riders who want to try on a jacket at a dealer. The Paradigm Triple Vent System 2.0 costs $575 on the US store and is its best seller in leather: heavyweight Monaco cow leather, an action back, pre-curved sleeves and the Triple Vent System 2.0 for airflow behind fairings and windshields. Pockets take CE-certified D3O Ghost armor at the shoulders and elbows and D3O Viper armor at the back, but all three are sold separately, so a fully armored Paradigm costs more than the sticker. Harley-Davidson backs it with a 3 year limited warranty, longer than Dainese's 1 year legal guarantee. Its men's leather range ran from $425 to $625 across six jackets when we checked, and you can buy online and pick up in store. We compared documented features and published prices; the Paradigm loses points for missing armor and no published garment class.
