Scruit Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 And that he is a biker... Just picked myself up a new tourmaster air jacket to complement my winter jacket. Has zip-out liners but would be too cold under maybe 60 degrees. We'll see tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under that and it starts to get coooooldI'll bear that in mind. It's a mesh with a zip-out waterproof liner and zip-out thermal liner. I can switch out the thermal liner and add a fleece in the mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 that I went with since it has a pocket to store an extra visor around your side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 i was really disappointed when I realized this thread wasn't in the "NWS" forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have a Fieldsheer mesh jacket with a liner. It's tolerable in the 60's w/out the liner and a t-shirt, comfy w/ the liner into the 50's - adding a polypro pullover makes it even better for the 40's. But, I have a Joe Rocket winter jacket for the 40's and below so I'm covered either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I got a Toumaster Intake 2 Air, on sale at IP for $160. Pretty much identical to my existing jacket except for the mesh. My regular jacket, even with liner removed, leaves me sweating like a pig on heat over about 80-85. Especially at red lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'll try it with the liner on the way in to work, and just the mesh on the way home. Looking forward to a week of epic temperatures so early in the season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have a Joe Rocket winter jacket for the 40's and below so I'm covered either way.I have a Fieldsheer textile jacket and riding pants both with insulated liners. They're pretty decent down to about 40-ish degrees. The annoying part is days where I need the liners for the ride in, but not for the ride home. It's a bit tedious to put the liners in and out each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh yeah, it looks like I'll be riding every day, at least through Thursday, with that forecast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looking forward to a week of epic temperatures so early in the season...No one thinking this might actually be a bad thing?No freezing temps to kill bugs and weather continues to be out of the norm with unseasonably hot weather. Storms are coming for sure, just a matter of when and they are going to be brutal. More tornadic activity further north, I suspect.Last spring was very wet and cold so I am not complaining but I just have one of those, "be careful what you wish for" things going on.This year a continuation of last years late season drought?
