I wanted the white/black but they ran out of my size before the IRS got me my $$$ back

That sucks. The black/silver would have been my second choice also. Still a great looking jacket in either color. What did you end up giving for that jacket if you don't mind asking? You can pm it if you prefer...

130 or 140 + a free shipping for ground since I waited for it all to go in one shipment.

Got my Corkscrew jacket today. It's a damn nice jacket for the $$. You'll be pleased I think.

niec! mine shipped out yesterday, so hopefully it gets here tomorrow

Cool. You may have made a better choice in colors afterall. I got home last night after a ride down by the river, and the white part of the jacket was peppered with bugs! Didn't even notice the bugs anywhere else on the jacket lol....

That's my jacket, almost (mine's red/black/white).

Got it last summer with matching pants and they're pretty good. No complaints anyway, just too hot in summer and too cold in winter but that's hardly their fault I guess.

Marketed as Berik here in Spain, 500€ the combo, so it looks like you got yourself a steal!!!

Congrats.

I havent worn it to ride yet, but it seems awesome, great quality, great look.

Other than the fact I wear a bigger size we'd almost be twins in our gear....lol.

I got that jacket as well a few weeks back. Holy hell do they run small! My JR Meteor is a 2XL and it's roomy on me. Ordered the corkscrew in 3XL to be safe since the site said they run small...and they weren't kidding. It's snug as a bug on me, but it's still comfortable. I've worn it a few times now and love the fact it doesn't seem to raise up on me like my Meteor does. Yesterday was nearly 80 degrees out and yeah, it was a bit warm. Sitting fully upright on the bike allows for pretty good venting, but tucked down tends to warm you up quick.

My only gripe with the jacket is that it's a little tight in the elbow area. Guess they didn't intend a rider to have guns like mine...lol

Got the SetUp's as well and like them. I have pretty wide feet but they still fit me good.

nice!

yeah I think I ordered a 42 instead of a 40 and its a bit snug....its OK, I need to lose weight anyways in my belly area!
