Tour Master Coaster II Leather Jacket $240
Tour Master's neoclassic-styled Coaster II Leather Jacket is worthy all-around gear. The outer styling makes the jacket seem simple, but it's chockful o' features. Under the dirt-track-inspired shell is CE-approved armor in the shoulders and elbows plus a stiff foam back pad, all removable. A full, removable liner has polyfill insulation, and the sleeves zip off, too. For more temperature control there are two mesh vents in the back, two mesh-backed arm vents, and the front waist and chest pockets are backed with mesh and double as flow-through vents. There are two other pockets inside and another inside the liner. Shoulders are gusseted for ease of movement, two waist belts fasten with Velcro and the sleeve cuffs close with zippers and Velcro tabs. The fit is spot-on when you're in a riding position, comfortably snug so that the body armor stays in the right places, though the upper sleeves tend to be long. The top-grain, 1.2-1.3mm cowhide requires little break-in time. The Coaster II also comes in black on black, white on black and gray on black. | RATINGS | | Comfort | 4 | | Protection | 4 | | Versatility | 5 | | Overall | 4.3 | Notes: For protection, style, features and price, the Coaster demands consideration.
