Rukka AirMan Jacket

(1/2) > >>

Rusty Shovel:
Hey all,

I might have just gone a little crazy, but I just ordered one of these:




The Rukka Airman Jacket.  I had to get it; it was made for me.  It even has a big "R" on the back.  Which, of course, stands for Rusty.  I'll review it when it arrives.  They sell them at Revzilla here: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rukka-airman-jacket

I had purchased the Firstgear Adventure Mesh jacket, but I didn't like it. The armor was too bulky and the whole jacket would come up if I raised my arms.  Plus, I wanted the jacket to be a bit longer.  Revzilla is awesome about returns.  I almost purchased a Klim jacket, but I don't like how much velcro they use.  The Rukka uses high-strength magnets instead--pretty classy.  It's spendy, so it better be as good as the marketing proclaims or it's going back too.

Alabama Adventurer:
Hey Rusty; it looks nice!

I picked up a pair of the Klim pants, I really like them - much warmer and protected.

Just a question here...is this an 'Airman' because it has a protective airbag....like the Aprillia system that was on the market?

No.  It's the Airman because it uses micro-weave mesh throughout.  It should be ideal for hot Houston.  I'll have to layer it up north.

Dogfarm:
Looks like a very nice jacket. Surprised it is black and is waterproof even though it supposed to be a hot weather jacket. It will be interested to see if it really does have enough air flow to keep you cool.
