I say it’s not warm but at least it doesn’t breathe well. I still like it more than the side of beef (love that!) leather jacket. It’s far more versatile and packs easily into the roll aboard suitcase. It’s warm enough for 98% of what we need jackets for and if it’s too cold while waiting for the hotel van in MSP or MKE in January the leather option isn’t going to change much. Finally, it doesn’t have that Arthur Fonzarelli look some folks seem to need.

My leather jacket has hung in the closet since I got my Karbon jacket.

And I repeat: a Mazda MX-5 Miata is a sports car.
