View Full Version : Winter Jackets
With the chilly stuff looming in, noticed it a bit yesterday, its time to look for a warmer jacket.:cold:
I have three in mind, Revit Energy/RST Raptor and a RST Paragon.
All around that $300-350 mark.
I have to wear a wool lined oil skin vest (which is brilliant) over my current and only jacket, just to stay warm and dry.
Leaning towards the Raptor (the end pic).....looks right snuggly :hug:
Liking that neck warmer thing going on also...can then do away with the roofless beanie.:corn:

I purchased the raptor jacket about 4 weeks ago, started to fall apart after the second time I wore it (the belt stitching comes away at the back) When I returned it the salesman said that they had had quite a few returns. swapped for an alpinestars drystar jacket and the difference in workmanship is VERY noticable.

Really?...good to know..I know Todd at Cycletreads, he is a very honest guy so I shall listen to his knowledge on such matters.

I bought the Paragon with the neck thingy. Not bad for the price. Definately toasty on a cold morning but I did find it sprang a small leak in some heavy weather I got caught in.

I guess even a fish is not completely waterproof.

So I ended up buying the Revit Energy Jacket. (Pic 1)
They (at Motomail) were very helpful when it came to service...totally redeemed my confidence in that store.
My Ignition Jacket will be fixed and posted back to me free of charge...(as it was always going to be)
Jacket is 11 months old....they checked the sales book.
Went to Cycletreads and bought some nice new summer gloves.
Orina (Kangaroo/Cowhide Leather)...very very nice to have on your hands.
My winter ones (I have yet to try) are here also...Rukka Gloves I got from FC-Moto.

Nice, those gloves look the shizz. I'd be interested in how you get on with the new winter gloves, my current pair are getting a little ragged....

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the winter gloves?
They are Rukka Gore-Tex (Tellus)...liking the visor wipe on the left thumb.
Tested the new winter woolies this morning.
Jacket was brilliant, what I particularly like is the slide dome connection at the neck (instead of velcroe)
Extremely comfortable and warm with absolutely no effect from the cold.
Have yet to test it in the wet but, as I pointed out once before, I have a perfectly good rain suit (Root tm ) that I should take if the weather looks dodgy.
Got home just as the rain started.
The gloves were the same, now if I can just get used to how fat they feel....:rolleyes:
