Hey everyone. I'm looking for a good "all season" jacket. I prefer textile not leather. I'd like something with a zip out liner and is waterproof. I've looked at the Illumination 360 but I'd like some thoughts before I drop $350 on it. Please let me know if anyone has this jacket and what you think of it or if you have another option that encompasses my above needs. I'd love to read your thoughts.

 

Tourmaster Air Intake. Mesh, so good for warm/hot weather. Has removable quilted and waterproof liners. I have ridden, with the 2 liners in, in temperatures in the low 30 and some fog with a long sleeved T-shirt and was comfortable. I suppose with a thicker shirt underneath it, the jacket would be good colder. In the summer the mesh has good airflow as long as you are moving. I live in south AL and it gets warm and humid. It's my summertime jacket. I have the white trimmed one.

Motoport air mesh Kevlar is awesome
A little pricey but it is the best out there

 

I have the Illumination pants but not the jacket. I will tell you that the pants are worth every penny in my opinion. In fact, after coming home from a road trip this weekend, I too looked at the jacket to get with the pants. I am now trying to figure a way to order and have them shipped, "under the radar, ie wife" LOL

I got a $50 Himilaya brand mesh jacket with removable rain liner that I intended to use for a few months on base, but it fits well, is cooler and warmer than my $300 leather jacket, plus has built in armor and sleeve cinches. I still wear it when I'm not in a leather mood. Joe

 

Never find a jacket that does all four seasons, well.


You find a jacket that flows well enough for summer, you betcha it will have cold wind leaks in winter and or have so much liner it will be uncomfortable.

It's a tool and who doesn't like a bunch of the right tools for the right jobs?

 

I bought the Harley Switchback jacket. It says water-resistant but I rode thru level 5 thunderstorms with my iphone in the top pocket and not a drop. I very rarely wear any rain-pants. I bought the jacket big enough that I can change under-layers based on the warmth I'm looking for.

 

I have a 20+ year old Firstgear Scout I use year round. The Kilimanjaro was/is the textile version. My brother has one and loves it. I don't know about the new stuff?
