Tourmaster Flex jacket

My current riding jacket is a Tourmaster Flex.

86-401.jpgWhen my Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket reached the end of its useful life, I looked around for a new jacket with good warm-weather abilities, but also better cold-weather capabilities. After looking at a bunch of different models, I settled on the Tourmaster Flex. In its standard setup, it's a full-shell textile jacket, which is ideal for most late fall, winter, and early spring rides. When rain hits, there's a zip-in rain/wind liner, which in turn has a zip-in quilted insert for extra warmth.

For hot days, the outer shell zips off, revealing a full-mesh interior, just like the regular Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket.

One thing about this jacket - there's a lot of zippers.

I got the Flex just after my SS1K at the end of March, 2006.
