Dainese Super Sprint D-Dry® Jacket - Black / Blue / White The jacket fits really well,i do find the zip is a little tricky to start but that's probably just me.
I like it im pleased with it.
Oxford Continental Advanced Textile Jacket - Tech Black With the thermal and waterproof removable liners it’s fantastic value for money
Leatt ADV 7.5 Dritour Textile Jacket - Stealth Bought the Leatt ADV Dritour at reduced price which made it more affordable. Product seems to be exceptionally high quality with a superb technical specification. Also came with high end body armour for chest and back included in the price which most manufacturers do not provide. Very warm liner jacket which can be worn on its own which will be handy on tour. Jacket is super warm and waterproof so will be great as I live in Scotland where weather is always challenging. Sizing is accurate.... I am usually a 42" chest/large size and I ordered a Large which fits perfectly even with the front and back armour fitted and the thermal jacket. Some reviewers suggested it was small fitting but that has not been my experience.
Bought at same time as matching trousers.... awesome touring suit and I am super super happy.
Merlin Brecken D3O Air Mesh Hoodie - Black Perfect upper protection for the summer days when the leathers will be too hot. Lets a nice bit of air through and offers solid protection, can be hooked into trousers with a zip/clip.
Oxford Arizona Air Textile Jacket - Navy Nice summer jacket with good pockets and nice and light
RST S1 CE Mesh Textile Jacket - Black Really happy with this jacket! The ventilation when you’re riding is spot on - can’t wait to see how it performs in the summer heat. And it’s not just a fair weather jacket either, there’s a removable waterproof liner in there for when the British weather decides to do its thing. Haven’t needed it yet but good to know it’s there! Would definitely recommend.
Weise Scout Textile Jacket - Olive Tried out a couple of times so far on fairly short rides but it's a keeper. Can mostly feel the ventilation on my arms (my bike has a big screen so not as much wind movement over my body) but you can feel the airflow from that move around your chest. The armour is good and well positioned. 2 good sized internal pockets , one phone shaped, the other wallet shaped, both velcro fastening.
I'm 5'11" and around 90kg, between 44" & 46" jacket size. The XL fits me well, fairly snug on the shoulders but it has stretch panels on the back of the shoulders which allows for free movement without feeling any restriction when riding. I'm a 36" waist and have the waist adjusters pulled in most of the way. Can't say how abrasion resistant the fabric is and hope I never have to find out, but the CE rating gives some reassurance that there is a certain level of it and definitely better than nothing....
Can't complain at the price either, very good value.
