Macna Clothing

My Macna Tryton has been a solid all rounder. The build quality feels tough, the fit is comfortable on long rides, and the big ventilation panels make a real difference when the weather warms up. With the thermal liner and waterproof layer in or out, it adapts easily through the seasons. It s practical, well thought out, and the off centre zip gives it a bit of character without getting in the way.
Thank you SBS for outstanding service as always.

First off - they do work. However as a glove are not that great - quite bulky and if your fingers are slightly damp you can’t get them on. You need the upgrade to the 12v battery- the 7v are really man enough and even the 12v ones (different charger!) don’t last very long. It all works out quite expensive. I gave up and bought heated kit - plugged into the bike- I bought safe-n- warm inner gloves- much better.

Great jacket fits well so easy to turn into a rucksack can't wait till summer to make full use, not over expensive.

Build quality. Materials and obviously the looks.

Good quality cable and waterproof connectors however VERY POOR design. Both legs of the cable are the same length and if you wish to run the cable alongside the zip in your outer jacket one cable is too long and the other cable is too short to reach! One leg of the cable needs to be considerably longer than the other to enable it to be run round the collar at the back of the jacket. Macna do not sell a cable to extend one side. The only solution is to cut the cable and insert a length of similar cable using soldered connections. In the short term I have attached the cables to a thermal liner to get around the problem.

Only worn once so far in dry conditions. Apart from the lack of finger armour this is a good glove. Visor wipers work well. Gloves heat up quickly and provide good heat using cables to bike battery. Nice long cuff. Originally purchased the Macna Era RTX gloves with battery which worked well. However returned them as there was a fault in the knuckle armour in right glove and they no longer had my size. Usual excellent no nonsense return service which is a hallmark of sportsbikeshop. Went for cable connection this time as better for long runs but see my review of the Macna Extension Cable
