After a few rides in all kinds of weather, I've fallen in love with the new Kathmandu jacket from Firstgear...Here is a jacket that does everything the way I would have designed it.
- Superb fit, very comfortable with or without the cold weather liner
- Underarm "pit zip" vents! (Hey a lot of heat hangs out under your arms, like it or not. Easy to operate vents on chest and back too.)
- Built in under-helmet rain hood and back mounted hydration bladder system are pretty sweet bonus features
- Top-shelf armor that is fairly invisible both in the look and feel of the jacket
- Handsome styling and great conspicuity with excellent reflective piping
- Tough outer fabric feels like it will hold up well for street or trail use. You won't need to worry about snagging your street jacket on low overhanging shrubs or tree branches should you head off road!
- Perfect length for dual sporting. Nearly full 3/4 length in rear, abbreviated length in front for great comfort and mobility
- Straps to adjust the fit of armor on your arms
- No long row of snaps to fasten on the main "storm flap". Just smooth over the Velcro and go
- Awesome, comfortable, warm neoprene "cuff gaskets" on the liner to keep the wind and weather outside your jacket
- And dry! During a recent jaunt of some 180 miles on a chilly, wet day, I was warm and comfortable without needing any additional rain gear or electrics
Of the dozens of jackets I've worn over the years, this is probably my favorite to date. Another home run for Firstgear!
