Tour Master Jett Series 2 textile jacket

[Rocky]

Carl, don't you have one of these jackets?
I seem to recall you bought one (or similar) as a replacement after your crash.
If so, how do you like it; how is the fit; any complaints, etc?
I need another jacket like I need a hole in the head, but I'm a sucker for a bargain when they go on sale

I have the Tour Master Intake Air Series 2. It is the mesh version of the Jett Series 2.

Jett Series 2

Intake Air Series2

The Intake has a removable rain liner as well as a removable insulated liner. Because of this, even though I took it with me, I did not wear my cold weather jacket when I went to North Carolina.

The fit is really good and the construction is rugged. The jacket has two pockets on the outside (zippered), just above the waist, and three on the inside (velcro closures). One of the inside pockets is a cell phone pocket. The Triumph Vented Raptor, which I replaced with the Intake, had two zippered chest pockets. I really wish the Tourmaster had these. The zippers have large rugged pull tabs that you can work with gloves on. I am well pleased with the jacket and the riding britches. They are a good value and good quality. I would buy them again.

They look great and by the seems of thing they have all you really need

 

[Rocky]

Thanks Carl, that's the info I needed
I know Tour Master makes a good quality product, but wanted to hear from a customer.
I have a Firstgear mesh jacket which has most of the same features as the TM mesh, but I have always liked the regular TM Jett jacket too.
I think there will be one in my future

 

[CarlS]

First Gear makes good, quality products. I have First Gear heated gloves. The reason that I did not purchase the new Triumph Raptor mesh jacket, which has the same features as the TourMaster and First Gear jackets, is that Triumph no longer offers it in blue.

 

[Rocky]

Thanks again. I've been pondering heated gloves too and may give the FG gloves a look.

 

[CarlS]

They work well. I like them. My kids gave them to me for Christmas.

If anyone is interested in this TM Jett jacket it's on sale for $49.99 as a clearance. See the link.
I couldn't help myself and ordered one
Over the years I've bought a lot of riding gear from these folks and they're great to deal with.

 

[CarlS]

That is half price! Good score, Rocky.

The jacket arrived yesterday and I'm really impressed with the fit and quality.
Nine days from Texas to Halifax is super service considering our two postal systems and crossing an international border.
As I mentioned above, I didn't really need another jacket, but at the price of $49.99 I couldn't let it pass.
The funny thing is that I chose the red one with black trim (for hi vis reasons) and it seems to go with my black/red Bonneville.
I wonder how that happened

 

[CarlS]

Congratulations! Good choice in colors. My blue and white TourMaster Intake just happens to go with my blue and white T100. I thought that you would be well pleased with the fit and quality. TourMaster makes good products.
