after visiitng all of the major shops here in Vienna (naturally before 12 noon on Saturday becuase otherwise they are closed the entire weekend...  )... She ended up with a waterproof Alpinestars jacket with a removable liner... soft CE pads...
Stella T-Lux Waterproof Jacket - Alpinestars Official Store
The thing that sold her on it is that if she doesn't fall in love with motorbiking she can take out the pads and it is still a good looking winter jacket...
She also liked that she could snap the sides & Arms to make it fit tighter... plus the inner linner is a smart enough looking zip up that you can wear without the jacket.
We liked the daniese jackets... but at thier price it just wasn't an option... this one we picked up for a touch under €190
I will post some comments later after she has had a chance to like/dislike it during use.
Personally I am just worried it is too hot in the summer being that it is waterproof with who knows what kind of waterproofer... probably something that doesn't breath.
For me I still have an old Daniese leather that I am going to wear until I find a reason why I "need" a different one... In a light rain it has never been a problem & I used to ride in Australian summers in it, so who knows...
