I've just bought my first leathers as well. I got the RST Pro leather jacket and will be getting the matching jeans in a couple of weeks once I've saved up enough. First impressions are excellent. It seems to manage the paradox of being cool when its hot and warm enough when its cold. It has perforations on the chest that act like mini vents and a zip out lining vest type thing. It halso has two connecting zips, one 360 degree one to join to the jeans, plus a shorter one to attach it to other brands of jeans. Its got armour on shoulders and elbows and a flimsy back protector that will soon be replaced with a proper one. The fit is just right, most decent shops will have a trying on bike horse type thing that you sit on to see if it rides up/bunches/pinches anywhere. Colours are obviously a taste thing but I think these get the balance between garish and bland just nice. I've got the black/blue one.
