I live in the tropics, so i was apprehensive about getting a full textile jacket (as opposed to a mesh one). But the weather here can be hot over (35 deg C) and humid one day, and full on tropical storm the next. Sometimes on long trips, you find lots of 'start-and-stop' storms. That makes it hard to wear a mesh jacket, because you will seldom get a chance to zip on and off the waterproof membrane each time the rain comes or goes.
I just took my Philip jacket and Tomsk pants out for ride yesterday and got just that. Lot's of short but heavy downpours. The goretex in this jacket work brilliantly and kept me dry. Odd thing though, the supposedly waterproof pocket next to the main zip of the jacket somehow let water in, and my passport got pretty soaked. Otherwise i was pretty much dry inside.
In the hot, the vents worked extremely well to my surprise. To me the airflow was so effective that i don't miss my mesh jacket at all. In fact even when caught in traffic, i didn't find this jacket any hotter than my old Teknic mesh.
On the downside, i found the sleeves very tight when in the riding position (i ride a sportster). I'm wearing a size 50, and the jacket fit perfect standing up. But once on the bike the sleeves were so tight, sometimes i felt the circulation restrict. I think the stretch panels on the bruce would address this issue
I also don't like the velcro strap on the collar. I usually ride without cinching it down (coz it's hot), but the strap winds up flapping in the wind. Rather silly looking.

Air Tourer Light Grey/Blue vs Highway Grime
Hi, I'm considering the greyish white/blue colorway for this jacket. However, i'm concerned how the jacket will hold up against dirt and grime from long tours. I've never had light colored touring gear before, hence my apprehension.
Will it turn to a dirty grey over time (from whitish grey it starts off as)? Also, what's the best way to wash the jacket? Just regular soap and water?

RevZilla Staff Premium T-Shirt Lovingly concocted in 2007 and named El Moto Diablo for its geared and devlish lines, the RevZilla Staff Tee Shirt has been part of our lineup from the beginning. It's also the same blue shirt in every video that Anthony has been rocking since day one of RevZillaTV on Youtube. People love to point out that Anthony doesn't ever change his clothes. I guess when it works you stick with it. The tee is screen printed on a high thread-count blank that is anything but one of those throw away tees you get free at the ball game. We wear tees a lot - almost every day - and we are very particular about how they fit, feel and hold up wash after wash. Sizing is true to size, if anything they run a hair on the small side. Show your love for TeamZilla. Make a statement. Boom.
Is there a Size Chart?
