I appreciate all of the gear on the market designed for women riders, but enough with the pink. That niche is filled. Some of us would like classic cruiser gear for the dusty road, and River Road has answered our call with their Sierra jacket. This is a jacket for riders that happen to be women rather than a jacket for women riders.
The medium-weight black leather boasts classic brown accents down the arms, across the chest, and around the pockets. A high mandarin collar keeps the breeze off your neck and completes the old-style riding look, which is often associated with masculinity. This jacket, however, is far from masculine.
Cut for women and styled for riding, the Sierra has a full insulated liner. The classic styling is not limited to appearance. This jacket has no vents, so it's not for southern climates unless you're one tough broad. This is the perfect jacket for riding in the north, or during the spring and fall.
What the Sierra does have is a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Unobtrusive, simple, elegant, and abrasion-resistant, River Road's design time has been devoted to putting together a high quality leather without all the tidbits of modern technology. A timeless riding jacket, indeed.
