Review on ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLE JACKET TOURING WATERPROOF Motorcycle & Powersports by Kendrick Barron

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great jacket is best in Protective Gear

First, it smells a lot because it is packaged like a newborn. So let's get some air. It looks chunky at first, but after adjusting the straps on the back, sides, and arms, it gets a little snug. The vents on the front and back ensure a decent flow of air once you get the fit right. Haven't used it in the rain and hopefully won't have to in the near future. This is a heavier jacket so mid-summer may not be the best time to wear it, even with the inner lining removed. It was 90 degrees today and it's pretty chilly on the move with the vents open. I wore a long-sleeved t-shirt and only sweated at traffic lights. So it can be worn on hotter days when you don't plan on being stuck in traffic. Lots of secure pockets to choose from and felt safe to put things in. They look like they'll keep everything dry since they're all made. Nice zipper with Velcro. If I got caught in the rain, I have a feeling you wouldn't get wet at all. Would definitely buy again, maybe even buy a second one so I don't have to look for another if and when this one bites the dust. The inner shell is not very thick and does not add bulk to the jacket. This reduces the wind flow. Cool weather will not be a problem. At this price you really can't go wrong. Has all the characteristics of expensive jackets, nothing to hate here. I don't like the top of the collar but I'm getting used to it and don't find it as annoying as the first few rides with it.
