I just purchased a jacket that will hopefully protect me from the cold and rain... I need to be able to ride in sub freezing temperatures so I needed a jacket that met a few requirements...
1. windproof
2. waterproof
3. Warm
4. $Budget$ below $200
If any of you have looked for good jackets lately this is a narrow search... I originally picked out a tourmaster jacket, the tourmaster epic to be specific... I deal with a shop near my house they make good deals on gear but the service dept sucks! anyway I managed to get the jacket down from thier list price of $225 to $157. The jacket came in seemed nice and heavy and warm but it was one size too small (the sizing chart Lies :evil: ) lol.... No big deal next size up... errrrr.. wrong discontinued jacket didnt have that next size.... so I went on the search again I really wanted a Firstgear Kilimanjaro jacket but it was too far out of my budget.... I ended up with the Firstgear Jaunt jacket... I havent tried it out yet but i will post my opinion when I get that chance....
Small poll......................
What jacket do you have or whats your favorite? it doesnt have to be a winter jacket
& If anyone has any experience with the Jaunt do tell...
