Just received it yesterday. First impressions , top quality construction. Fits well but a bit shorter than my old Tourmaster. The base jacket is a GREAT hot weather jacket, really flows a lot of air. No excuse at all any more for me not to wear gear in 90 deg weather.
Rode to work this morning (55 deg F) and discovered the flaw with this system. The vest/liner does not cover the arms and you still get a lot of airflow through the sleeves. Going to try zipping the rain jacket over it and see if that helps in cool / cold weather. Rain jacket is nice and has two zippered vents in the back to let a little air through.
Five pockets I’ve discovered so far and all sorts of straps and zippers all over the thing, some of which serve no apparent purpose at all Wish Motorcycle Riding gear folks would start supplying some kind of users guide with their products.
Still overall I’m pretty happy with my purchase. May have to keep the old Tourmaster though for extreme cold weather riding. I was fairly comfortable this morning at 55 deg F and Marsee claims adding the rain/cold jacket to the system gives another 10-15 degrees of protection which means jacket would be good down to about 40 Deg F. We’ll see…..
