After looking at the video on the Harley clothes website showing the triple vent jacket in action, wind going in and out vents dramatization, I recently purchased the Men's Triple Vent System Evolution Waterproof Leather Jacket. $595 is a lot of money for a jacket in my opinion.

look at the little pictures at the bottom of the big picture then scroll to the last one on the right, looks like a highway in Utah, its a video.
see the wind going through the vents?
Well, I get no wind through my vents. I ride an 09 FLTR. Coming home the other night it was in the 40's and I thought this would be a good test. Because if cold air was going through the vents I would feel it.
So Stopped and took out the liner, opened all the vents, zipped jacket back up, and went down the road. I was a little colder, after all no liner. but there sure was no breeze that I could feel.
When I got home re-watched the video and noticed all the bikes were Electraglide's. And the air went under the edge of the fairing and then straight into the jacket vent. Since I have a roadglide fairing maybe that explains why I did not get a breeze.
Anyone else have any experience or comments. I really like the jacket, but I could have gotten a cheaper one without the vents!
Thanks.
