Your summer riding jackets

[stroguy]

Thanks bird I appreciate the info.

Me as well. Will check them out.

I will more than likely opt for something that can be put on when the rain is threatening. But then I kill some storage space. Oh the tough life decisions.

They are another attempt to get money from people who have the wherewithal to travel in the NorthEast part of the USA.
Or from businesses doing business in the same area.

From Richmond to Philadelphia, it is possible to pay over $40 in tolls on the 95 in a 170 mile stretch.
The minimum you can pay is $24.

There is nothing EZ about the tolls up there. So much for free travels.

I don't but the wife is a risk taker.

Seems to me Stro you might be the risk taker. I wouldn't sleep at night if my ole lady was carrying an Axe around.

Remember my eye.

My EZ-Pass?

Or my I-Pass, a must have, on the Illinois Toll roads. Waste of time stopping at toll booths.

Remember my eye.

Oh yeah. I forgot. Man I've got R E S P E C T for you.

I have a RevIt Airwave. Flows well, has good adjustability, and is mostly light colored. Been pretty happy with it.

For rain gear I tried Frogg Toggs... and hated it. The jacket I had was too short in the torso, too short on the hood to protect your face, and the material was too stiff and bulky. I've since switched to Marmot Precip jacket and pants, and LOVE both. These are not motorcycle specific so you might wanna add your own reflective tape: http://www.identi-tape.com/3M_8850.htm

If you order the Precip jacket in your normal size, it'll be *just* big enough to slip on over your riding jacket. This jacket uses their proprietary waterproofing technology which breathes pretty well. The pants have zippered legs. Good to go.

I just ordered an Olympia Airglide 4. I too have a good leather- but really need warm weather protection. This has 2 liners- waterproof and insulating. Hasn't arrived yet.

I use my Airglide about 80 percent of the time. Hi-vis color and is the only jacket I need on a trip of any kind and can handle just about any temperature...below 40 degrees I break out a heated liner.

Thanks everyone for the input. I am going to try the Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3. They claim it a 3 season jacket and has minimal advertising. We only have 2 seasons in Houston, hot and freakin miserable hot. So I will give it a shot. Thanks again for all of the suggestions. As hiflyer said I may end up with a closet full of jackets before leaving for Franklin.

Cheers friends.

This place has great close out deals.
I have bought textile jackets for as low as $39.
