Review on Xelement CF505 Advanced Tri Tex Jacket by Ryan Moran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A bit big - jackets

Mesh jacket arrived as expected. I tried it on, adjusted the straps and buttons, but it's a bit big. If it was a leather jacket it would be fine as I could use a sweatshirt or sweatshirt underneath or other base layers for warmth. A mesh jacket should not be so big that it fits loosely. If a lightweight mesh jacket is not secured, the wind can rip the jacket off after a period of riding. Because it's mesh, it doesn't need a lot of layers to keep you cool. If you want durability, buy a leather jacket. When you ride in the summer you need some protection. This is the jacket you need to be comfortable and avoid rashes and sunburn.

Pros
  • Reflective piping on chest and upper back for nighttime visibility
Cons
  • Other
