The removable liner is just more to carry when touring, it should be part of the shell IMO. I have 3 pairs of Held gloves, and they really are "Das Glove." Probably is a good jacket.

There's a reason it's removable .

Waterproof textile outer shell, armored leather jacket underneath. Anybody heard of these guys?
Never herd of that brand of jacket, but I have done business with a Vicious Cycle. Seemed OK.

There is no need to have a removable liner when you can have a breathable, well vented, waterproof shell.

I'm cheap, I use the same jacket winter and summer. Strangely enough I take the liner out in summer.
I agree about the the Dick,

I'm not sure that waterproof vents exist. Not in heavy wind and rain, anyway.
