TourMaster Flex Series 2 Jacket

[GeorgeS]

OK, took first ride today with the new jacket. 48 deg. when left, 51deg on return home. 2 hour ride.

Jacket, with T-shirt, and one fairly heavy cotton shirt on under the jacket.

 

Verdict is-- Stayed perfectly comfortable, not cold, not hot. I will estimate that if I replaced the cotton shirt, with a Wool shirt, the Jacket will be good down to about 40 deg. F. Below that, I would need the electric vest.

 

So, I'm very happy with this jacket. Fit is a little tight, but thats what I like, I hate loose fitting clothing. The Armor installed in Elbows, shoulders, and back, Seems bulky when putting the jacket on, however once under way

( a little navy talk there ) I don't even notice it.

 

Arm movement seems good. My chest measurement is 44 inches, I got the Medium size.(( 44 )) ( this per suggestion on the " NewEnough " website, where I ordered it from ) They stated that these jackets run a little on the large side.

 

I would have to say this is the most comfortable I have been at 50 deg. with just one jacket on, over an average wgt cotton shirt.

 

Also, the new Hot Grips, with 40 gram thinsulate gloves worked just fine at 50 deg. I tried them last week, same gloves at 33 deg. F. and I would say my hands were getting cold. However I'm not in habit of rideing in that cold temps, so won't worry about it.

 

If your in a motorcycle supper store, and they have them, try one on.

I have the Flex 2 jacket and pants. Rode from Georgia to Texas and back in November. Coming back it was really windy and cold, believe it was maybe mid 30s. Only cold spot I had was my hands and that was because the gloves I bought in Alaska had a blowout between a couple of the fingers.

For the really cold days, just slide on a set Of Hippo Hands over the controls. I don't wear insulated gloves and rode 350 miles hovering around freezing.
