How to pick a jacket...
Hi everyone,
After the recent purchase of the KTM we need to get the lady friend her kit...
I am confident the shop guys can steer us to the correct Helmet & Gloves... but I want your guys help for the Jacket...
Why is Leather/ Textile better/worse?
Are there brands to stay away from?
What should we be looking for?
The jacket should be warm enough for 8°C use... waterproof is a bonus, but we will try to stay away from riding in the rain...
The jacket will be used mainly for traveling in the Austrian Alps... and then in a year or 2 we will quit the jobs and make a circle around the Black Sea... In the warm months... thus Turkey and Greece can be assumed to get pretty Damn hot...
I have a Daniese Leather jacket that I am pretty happy with... but I've never used it other than for zipping around the Australian Mtns... We will get her the adventurer jacket & I will get one as needed...
Any pointers (no matter how obvious) will be appreciated.
