European readers: if you find a similar deal, go for it. You won't regret it. @Kai-Uwe: I’ll never begrudge someone who finds an excellent deal, and $361 (USD) for this jacket is an outstanding price!

I just bought a Rukka Mia for myself. Yes, I am a guy, but not the tallest and don't have the worlds widest shoulders (sorry girls, not much to lay you head on and cry!), so the Mia fits even me, including also my thermo underwear and a thin fleece. I guess the weather up here in Sweden is not that different from Oregon, we also get plenty of rain, it's cold for 9 months and 3 months winter. ;-) The main reason (Sorry Stacy, now you need to be very strong!) was the price tag: the original price was 4000,-SEK (375,-Euro / 555,-USD), this one was reduced by 30% to 2.800,-SEK (389,-USD) and with a bit of negoiation I talked the saleswoman down another 5% to 2.600,-SEK (361,-USD)!!! This is incredible value for money, so I don't mind if it sits maybe a very little bit tight on the shoulders! Allways wanted a Rukka (the look so robust and I guess also they are, hope never to test this), but the price tag was allways frightening. And I also got the neon yellow / black version, perfect if you want to be seen. Now I just need to find some time to go out for a ride... :-( Regards from Sweden Kai-Uwe Hello everyone!

Yes, I looked very much like a poser the first week I had the jacket as I was running around town looking spotless. A good friend of mine teased me and said I should roll around out in the street to preserve my dignity. @Cliff: I've heard good things about Olympia gear. I'll have to give them some thought when it comes time for me to buy some mesh pants. @irondad: I must have missed your comment the first time around.

Glad the size thing worked for you. After a few years of dinking around (I also ride year 'round here in Michigan) I went with an Olympia one piece suit. Have worn it for a little over a year and a half - very happy camper. Ride On. El Dookey Nice looking jacket. Glad the size thing worked for you.

Since you opened the can of worms, the strap/zipper thing might be handy later in my life. I intend to ride as long as possible. The arrangement could help hold "Depends" in place! Your post is a great resource for anyone considering a purchase. Now go out and ride! We need to know how it wears over time! Nice write up.
