I dont do day-glo but both of my jackets are mainly white. I think white is pretty visable in the type of riding I normally (or used to ) do. I tend to stay off major roads and highways and stick to back roads. Fuck black, that shit is hot this time of year....

I have a leather suit, so does my husband. I also wear their gloves. Personally, I think they have incredible workmanship. It's a true Japanese manufacturer about a 1/2 step away from Kushitani. RS Taichi doesn't have their own cows.

Most of my instructors wear their suits too.

The jacket he posted, SUPER light weight without feeling flimsy.

Don't think that means it's crap. Like anywhere, they make both excellent quality stuff and crap. It depends on how much attention the contractee pays to quality control. I have some amazing quality DSLR lenses that were made in China, for Olympus.
