Hey all. Looking for a new jacket and thought I would get the collective wisdom of the forum. I am looking for a touring type textile jacket with good venting system in chest and arms. A jacket for all year riding. Not keen on mesh or perforated leather jackets. Budget not likely to stretch to Klim or Rukka so likely up to $600ish. Any ideas?

If I were in the market I would jump at this http://www.motomail.co.nz/estore/style/rejksand2.aspx

The zips on the sleeve are vents and a range of colours to suit.

I was looking at these, just not a fan of the black and orange or the black and red which seem to eb the only ones available in a 2xl size...bugger

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Had a look at many different jackets and also had another look at the budget. Ended up buying a Klim Badlands jacket. Looking forward to getting out on the bike and trying it out

I too have a Klim, about a year now. Ridden in most days. Still looks new.

Enjoy.

That was a very serious relook at the budget.

I would not buy from a vendor that spams just like you have just done.

I will buy your entire stock if you top your laughably unsuitable president.
