cold/then hot syndrome me - not the bike (Read 84 times)

Doug B Full Member Offline I am, therefore I think Posts: 175 Kennewick, WA Gender:	cold/then hot syndrome me - not the bike 06/24/13 at 22:54:25 With my coats or sweatshirts riding is often too cool at times and too warm other times. I've looked at jackets at my local shops. With a limited selection the Tour Master transition series 3 seems to have what I'm after. Does anyone have any experience with this jacket/brand ?

I am not sure the best way to solve this issue. It is often in the 60's in the morning and approaching 90 in the afternoon.......I think dressing in layers and having a backpack or bags to store the layers may be the only option. Some jackets do have vents that can open and they help immensly when moving.....but when stopped jackets are always hot when riding in the sunshine. I have some very light long sleeve shirts that I wear under my mesh jacket in the morning, and I take them off in the afternoon.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

I have a leather jacket with the TFL cooling dye system and I love it! I was completely skeptical before getting it, but it really works. Mine is 1.3mm thick and the only time I've ever been really hot in it was when I had to wait for a 45 car cargo train to pass on a 96 degree day LoL, while moving the vents do a tremendous job of cooling. Being an ATGATT guy and someone who sometimes feels hot in the air conditioning, I'm so happy to have found a true 4 season jacket Cheesy

However, a good deal of the time I'm either too hot or cold. Thus, I'm ready for an upgrade. I checked out the local shops and found one that seems to meet my needs. A Tour Master transition series 3. Does anyone have any experience with this jacket/brand ?

I have the Tourmaster Flex Series 3 and I love it. Just got it two months ago and I commute to work where it is cold in the AM and hot in the PM. I do two or three layers in the morning and just the mesh on the way home. Being from Mt.Vernon, WA I own a pair of flannel lined jeans that I use when it really gets cold and are comforable on the bike.

If I had to do over again I probably wouldn't have settled for the in-stock base black jacket and would have gotten an easier to see color, maybe even the dayglo yellow/green. I don't usually zip the outer shell section together with the mesh in the morning due to the high hassle factor but if I use the inside liner then I will zip that in. Lots of pockets!!! I like the elbow guards and the arm snaps that cinch them into place.

I have a tourmaster Jett that I got over 5 years ago that I love.
Fit is great and good protection. Same with the CorTech pac coast.

The temp varies from 60 to 100 and as long as I'm going 50 or better, I'm comfortable with the vents/sleeves/cuffs open. Although at some point, you have to go mesh cause with everything open it's like a balloon and hanging on gets tough. It also has a liner.

Try the jacket on for fit before you buy, there was a sale awhile back and every jacket I tried on didn't fit like the Jett.

If it looks as though I rewrote my first thread - I did - because the first one disappeared - after the second one did I checked my messages and found that my thread(s) had been moved to the Cafe section - just so you know I'm not going senile - yet verslagen1 : yes - I agree - I will only buy a jacket(or other wearables) that I can try on - that is why I'm limited to my local shops - the Tour Master transition series 3 has several vents that I think will help me out
