Review Tourmaster Epic 4 Season Jacket-Chicago Winter

Post by ChitownDave »

I have posted a review of my winter riding gear.
I ride 365 days per year so my gear gets tested
In rigorous conditions.

Review of Tourmaster jacket. Hi viz yellow.

It's my first attempt at a review. Please take a
look and let me know what you think.

I also ride throughout the winter with my Tourmaster 3. I agree completely that it is warm and comfortable. I wish I got the hi-viz 8)

I also had similar problems with the coat quality. My zipper tab for the main zipper up the front of the coat also broke. Additionally, a snap popped off. I made a zipper tab out of wire and a washer, just so I could zip the coat up and get through the winter.

Maximus53,

Thanks. What I've learned (this year) was the importance
Of keeping my torso warm. Prior to this jacket and my new
Pants I struggled with keeping my hands & feet warm.

Once I kept my torso really warm my gloves did their job well.

That being said, gloves are the chink in my safety gear.
No padding, but they are water and wind proof. Plus, they have
A decent gauntlet.

They are "Head Outlet". Two winters, they have served me well.

Chitown D

Thanks again for the kind words.
I'm going to review my other gear this weekend.
