How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
Yes, something smart looking, but not formal. No, I'm not looking for any protection in case of a slide. I've worn nothing but Gore-Tex for many, many years now. I'm not against it--I'd be quite fine with it again, actually--but it's really hard to find something that doesn't make me look...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
The materials and price on that one look okay, but I think I'd like something that looks a little sharper. Is there a website which just happens to have a really large selection of decent-quality men's jackets where I can compare a few different brands and styles? I'm just doing random Google...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
The deck jacket certainly ticks the boxes from a materials and practicality standpoint, but most that I've seen either overdo it with the army regalia or else with the price. They also seem a bit short, and I'm not really sure that's my thing. I can consider one if I can find one that looks...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
Like I said, I can appreciate that there aren't many people who have tried it, but I'm pretty sure there are a few who have. And, the reality is no one here wears a leather coat or a real motorcycle jacket just for city riding. I can also appreciate that all of this may sound dangerous to...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
I can appreciate that the number of people who have done this in the past for whatever reason will be quite few. I just need one or two people to let me know how cold they were comfortably able to wear their 740N on a motorcycle, that's all. And, like I said, I can wear my parka for the 8-12°C...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
Well, not exactly 20mph for 10 minutes. More like 50-80km/h (30-50mph) for up to 30 minutes. And the daytime temperatures can range anywhere from 8-25°C (46-77°F) in the winter here. Like I said, I have a parka for the colder end of that range if necessary (say 8-12°C). I'm just wondering...- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
Oops! I should add this is just running around the city, not out on the highways, so the wind resistance will be a little less because of the speed and all the buildings around. And it's just short trips, nothing too long.- SlowRain

How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?
Hi! This is my first post here. I'm looking for a little bit nicer, cool-weather coat for weekend wear. My style mostly tends to be along the heritage line (a bit of work wear or Western wear, too). The thing is I'm an expat in Taiwan, which means I have less access to all the brands you do...- SlowRain
