Dan,
I bought a nice waterproof liner for my Phoenix jacket at the Chicago
Int. Motorcycle show this past Winter. It can be sewed (spelling?)
into my jacket which is the old model and then zipped in or out as
needed. The sales person told me that the new jacket already has
the zippers in it. It's a real nice liner, made of tech. type of
material. It cost less than $20.
