Zen Adven-Tourer jacket, thoughts anybody?
« on: December 28, 2014, 09:01:43 AM »
Hi all,

Looks great, anybody care to comment on it?  I'd really like something like this where you can zip in either the waterproof liner OR the thermal liner OR both independently of each other. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and a Happy New Year to all

Cheers,

PC

Saaz and I Both have one PC, very good jacket and works nicely, unless you get over 32 degrees then they get a little toasty!

I'd be interested but only if the jackets are made in Pakistan, by workers who are paid $1 a day, in a flood prone area, where Customs' storage is insecure, the Taliban run riot and quality control takes longer than manufacturing the jacket does.  :||||
Have I missed anything?  :rofl

Yes, a good jacket. It may work in hotter temperatures on a naked bike. I rode in up to 36c weather, which was a bit past its comfort zone but not unmanegable

 HA!... I used to be paid one dollar and 32 cents per day as a first year apprentice.... (3 pounds six shillings per 40 hour week, or 16 and a half cents per hour)
