What brand jacket is your favorite to wear?

cactusjack · 10-08-2009, 09:53 PM

I have a Power Trip mesh jacket, and then 2 leather jackets, a traditional style and a cruiser style, not really name brands. Good stuff though.

For me its Joe Rocket

I love my Tour Master Flex jacket because it's an all season jacket. I have the first version and the only gripe I have is that the quilted liner only zips into the rain liner. I believe the new one (Flex 2) the quilted liner can be zipped in place of the rain liner or inside of it. Much more "Flex"ible for sure. I still love mine despite that one gripe.

First Gear Mesh jackets for my wife and myself. Works and feels great.
Mid summer we both wear leatherup armored vests.
Winter I have an old leather jacket...wife doesn't ride in winter.

I have a Joe Rocket mesh jacket, that I almost never wear and a leather jacket from Jafrum that is pretty good that I wear the most. I also have a Power Trip textile jacket that I got real cheap at a motorcycle show that I really like except for the big OCC logo on the back and sleeves. I only paid $30 for the jacket and the same without the logo was $79.

Currently have an unknown leather brand. I will be upgrading to a Tourmaster Transition Series II sometime soon.

AlabamaNomadRider · 10-09-2009, 12:23 AM

Currently own three or four leather jackets. I voted tourmaster. I have seen some in the cycle shop and they look good.

bigdave · 10-09-2009, 12:53 AM

I have both the Tourmaster Intake and Transitions 2 well made jackets

**peabo2k** · 10-09-2009, 01:42 AM

I have a Tour Master and my wife has Xelement. Got them both from Leatherup.

I want a Transition 2 as well. I like the versality, functionality and style. Pretty good prices too. Around $170 if you shop it.

Currently have a Frank Thomas Aqua...it is pretty good but I want a 3/4 style as I have a long torso. This is the yellow one in my pic below.

I also have a Field sheer Mach 7 mesh. I like it but make sure you order 2 sizes larger than your shirt size. I usually wear a large and ordered an XL but should have ordered a 2XL.

I have a Tecknic Blade vented, perforated leather jacket that is very stylish and superb in hot weather. Unzip the wrists and it is almost like it is air conditioned. But for my money, the best all around jacket for is the FirstGear Kilimanjaro. Waterproof, seals around the neck, comes with a liner that is like putting a polar bear on and good to low 30's, but also vented for comfort up to 90 or so, and, from first hand experience, it is very durable with pads in all the right places when an elderly lady forgets to look and turns in front of you. Bike was totaled. I wasn't even bruised.

But FirstGear wasn't an option in the voting, but it gets my vote forever.

First Gear Kilimanjaro - we both have - this is my second one ( first one is 15 yrs old and now is KLR jacket) - best all around jacket I have found! Hein Gericke for summer ( its the jean version)

**ringadingh** · 10-09-2009, 08:56 AM

I just wear whatever feels best that day, no particular brand. But I do wear my snowmobile pants a fair bit.
