Mesh Summer Jackets.

[ManhattanMcC]

I use the Revit Airwave. Both Jacket and Trousers with the added back/hip protection. Around £325 for the whole set up. It has a more "liberal" fit than a lot of what I tried which is good for my decidedly less athletic build lately. There is a new version the 'airwave 2' but I think the original is still available a a decent discount. I range from tech T-shirt and shorts back home upwards of 35 deg to wind-stopper fleece and jeans underneath (which was just a few weeks ago). And of course as has been discussed, a set of waterproofs makes the configuration incredibly versatile in lots of climates/conditions

I'll wear the jacket with my Rallye Pants as well depending on what I'm up to.

+1 for Rev It airflow jacket.

I bought a fluro yellow one a couple of years back. Have actually worn it a lot.....it gets warm behind a 1200 RT fairing/screen.

Just use a waterproof overjacket if needed.

Do a search, I did a bit of a write up when I first used it.

Yeah, I really like the look of the Rev-it gear. This is one of theirs that I am considering.

Blimey, what a price range, £49-£400. How do you choose, other than budget?

I can't see the point of a waterproof inner layer; surely the waterproof layer should be on the outside

I've been looking at the Revit Airwave 2, which looks good and, as temperatures here are already mid 20s (smug mode), I will need one soon. Problem is, what size? Since moving here 3 months ago, I have lost 25lbs, which moves me from a 5XL to a 4XL and hope the progress continues. £325 for a suit that might be too large quite soon is a problem. Perhaps a £49 one to start with.....

Bollox, I hate making decisions!

You buy the 4XL and in a few months sell it to me.........I've given up hope on shrinking!!!

Seriously though, good gear tends to only last a few days in the for sale section, you won't be stuck with it.

I have the BWM airflow jacket, when wet wear a waterproof over it, when cooler wear a windproof jacket under it, when cold do both! It is the only jacket I use now as I tend not to ride when it's snowing. CheersJohnB

I hate being too hot, used to use forcefield armour with a tee shirt on top but have just replaced with one of these https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/rukka-ai-rider-black-motorcycle-jacket/6124

Hasn't been warm enough to try yet but I got it mostly for my Europe trip in June.

£305 from fc moto if anyone wants t0 save a few quid

 

[Mikey]

Is that an offer?? (size 60 please)

Sent using a Jedi mind trick!

It's an extra large if that's any guide.

 

[younger06]

I wish I could fit into an XL!!

 

[ManhattanMcC]

I wish I could fit into an XL!!

I wear a 2XL, but Rev'it runs a bit roomy, as motorcycle gear goes.

Ive got a Rukka cosmic suit. anything above about 23 degrees and I'm sweating. I was looking at the BMW (twat) Rallye suit for this summer. Looks like it would be good for hot weather, or is that not the case?

 

[wessie]

Wow, that's great value. I need a grey/silver one to match a pair of BMW Airflow pants I bought off here this week.

I bought a pair of light grey BMW trousers from the sale Cotswold had - I don't understand why a black jacket is not suitable to wear with them. Please explain.

 

[crotchrocket]

I've been thinking about buying one of them too but the lack of a waterproof liner and back protector at £370 is pushing me towards a Klim Induction instead

Depending on your size, Moto24 have them for £265 http://www.moto24.co.uk/rukka-motorcycle-jacket-airider-men-black.html

£265 with free delivery to the UK ...... That's over £100 less than buying it in the UK

That's a generous offer but I'd have to be close to death to fit into a 52!!!!

Ok....swap out the word "need" with the word "want"


It's just a personal preference. I wouldn't mind black if there was some grey panels in the design.

this has some grey to water down the other colour

Again, you'd have to take a carving knife to me to fit me into that!!!!!
