excellent protection from the wind, there is a hood, and ties. you can also wear it in rainy weather. compact and lightweight which is not a little important for a motorcyclist. it is also convenient that you can wear just like that on the way out, you do not have to wear only when riding. bright which is not a little important in the dark. plus, you won't stay unnoticed on the road. it's great that the back of the jacket is longer than the front. this helps again in protecting from the wind, and looks stylish. the quality is better, there are Velcro on the sleeves, when windy weather can be tightened and the wind will not walk under the jacket, there are good and roomy pockets, with a lock, that is, a zipper. the material is excellent does not get wet, the hood does not inflate at speed, since it is compact, which is not a little important that the elastic bands on the hood are not long, and do not fly back and forth at speed, the raincoat jacket is excellent) just a top

I can't call it a raincoat. From raincoats there are significant differences in everything, in the cut, in the pockets, in the materials and so on. More like a waterproof motorcycle jacket.

A good raincoat, bought his for trips spring and autumn . In rain in not chilly , but in +15 touring difficult . A huge plus is a high collar and an elongated back, the color is just a bomb but it is very easy to get dirty ( it is also washed with a damp cloth with a Bang ) . The only drawback is little reflective strips .

Classic, among the raincoats.
No, not this model is a classic and no one will say that PDX 2 Hi-Viz became the ancestor of raincoats and, after a while, having survived a number of transformations remained on top.
Just this raincoat fully takes into account all the criteria for a trip in the rain, well, except for the hood, no one knows why it is needed here. At all hood - this strange legacy from ordinary jackets. Yes, you get off the bike, take off your helmet, and while you pack all your things, you will stand in the hood. Doubt. If it rains outside, you'll come out in a helmet, and the hood will just hang out behind a dead weight.
Digressed.
The jacket has a number of advantages:
1) Material.
Does not get wet and removes heat. From what getting off the bike, you do not feel like a chicken on the grill.
2) Back.
The back is longer than the front of the jacket!!! This is very important!!! My growth 188 centimeters and pick a a jacket on growth very it is difficult. Why constantly suffers from back Zadran back of jackets. There is no such problem
3) Color.
Never take raincoats dark, gray colors. You and so not in sight, you go on a motorcycle, with one damn headlight, and grapple conspicuous color turn signal. Bright green color will be better seen in the mirrors of motorists. Take this into account. At the end of the day, this is the moment when everyone doesn't care about your unique style and jacket for half a year if you just don't get seen when you change into your strip.
