maybe there is still time

My XL just arrived, thanks to pault for sending it up here.

Not my sharpest bit of photography, but given the head, the blurrier the better.

It's a neat fit with both liners in, an just right without. I reckon you'd be set for the snowfields with the liners and all the waterproofing zip overlays.

Nice one Biggles

So lets see them everyone.....Good chance to update or add your profile into the Who's Who of OzSTOC thread with a picture in your spiffy new Custom Jacket

Well done Biggles, love the jacket

C'mon Biggles you're getting your other claim 2 fame mixed up m8. Every1 knows that your other main crusade in life is 2 fight the Red Baron with Snoopy as your sidekick!

That jacket is 4 pilots - not ski-jockeys.

2 fight the Red Baron

Ah!!! Not quite right, Biggles Arch Nemesis is "Hauptman Erich von Stalhein"

Every one knows that

Received my 5XL today.. is a snug fit with the liners in but should be fine without. The chance of me using the liners up here is pretty slim so it's really not an issue.

I figure a snug fit with the liners is a good thing. I could still get a thermal top under mine without it being tight, and I'd be set for Tassie (or Canberra) in mid-winter.
Might need my long johns and thermal bottoms under the kevlar jeans and waterproof pants to have the bottom cope with the same temperatures.

What an idiot!
I should have known that "Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen" was the Red Baron.
For punishment I won't talk 2 myself 4 a week! :( ;)

Unfortunately for many of you younger generation, Snoopy's exploits on the top of his kennel have overlaid the legends of Biggles.
Luckily Brock and I live on to carry forth the Truth!

Biggles, I owned all the small books read them religiously as a boy, loved the story lines, I used to stalk the news agency in the early 80's for anything like this

My fave cartoon dog, along with his nominal owner, Charlie Brown (the quiet sufferer).
I'd go anywhere with him on his fabulous flying machine.

One has a set of 10 Biggles books sitting in the book shelf infront of me. Bought them from a book seller in Butterworth Malaysia about 34 years ago. As a kid, I used to scour the local libraries for new books (until some one decided that Biggles was a racist poof and the books were banned) to read, and my mother went to all the school fetes looking for second hand editions.

I came across a partial set of Biggles books in Archive Books in Elizabeth Street Brisbane. As I recall they wanted about $50 each. I think mine went in a big cleanout after I left home a long time ago!!!! Aaaah nostalgia....

As interesting as this is we are now we are back to Jackets......

JC · « **Reply #892 on:** January 31, 2015, 01:30:44 AM »

OK, does anyone need/want a "Zen 2XL" sized jacket?

When jacket is flat on bed:
Armpit to armpit across the chest is 60cm.
Armpit to end of sleeve is 51cm.
It is supposedly equivalent to a "DriRider Large"

Regards
John

The first properly fitting OzSTOC jacket has now landed in New Zealand and was christened today marshaling the NZ Cycle Classic.
I can report it is well made, comfortable and absolutely not waterproof without its liners. I was on the bike in the rain for six hours and wet through for five hours 50 minutes. Might have to get a bit of Scotch Guard onto it and see if that makes it a bit more seasonal.

Biggles · « **Reply #894 on:** February 01, 2015, 12:54:54 PM »

They reckon that "Reissa" fabric is waterproof and breathable.
But I can understand the jacket would have to have the waterproof liner in to be fully waterproof.

So you get the occasional shower over there, then?

Diesel · « **Reply #895 on:** February 01, 2015, 01:28:16 PM »

Out testing the new OzSTOC jacket in the Qld heat. I have to say it is UNBELIEVABLE! The airflow is fantastic and keeps me nice and cool - even at today's temps which are around 34*C.

It is even better than wearing a shirt and leather vest in terms of rider comfort. (Probably because it keeps the sun off you, but lets a lot of air flow through.

It is sooo good in fact, I was able to pull up at one I f my fave haunts and have a hot pie and coffee...

Well done to all the designers at OzSTOC who helped design this bad boy.
Cheers, Diesel

better put the liner in

Had some compliments about the Ozstoc jacket. I look younger and slimmer was the comment. I have on order more jackets for different occasions. One for going out only. The white parts will get grubby soon and the jacket only gets a wash when it's raining, like the bike.

Can't be true, as you are young and slim already Alf
