My wife got pretty warm once temps went over 77F in her Joe Rocket. We're looking at the First Gear Contour at newenough. Any opinions....


Thanks,

Tom

I like mine a lot:
External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text
They come in light colors that you can wash up easily
They are sized smaller about a size smaller than my Firstgear Kilimanjaro
They are available at NewEnough

But they do not have any reflective trim,
so I added some on the back & at the sides:

Any change in opinions from previous thread? Any other suggestions for an all white mesh?

Thanks,

Tom

This sort of thing often comes up over at the ScooterDiva site,
for example: http://www.scooterdivas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3075

Perhaps your wife would enjoy looking around over there

Unfortunately unless I get it done Julie would just as soon not bother.

My wife bought a large. We are planning on sending it back. We normally wear Corazzo jackets and were looking for something lighter for her. She is about a size 16 and it is too small. She also did not like the cut of the jacket as it is waist length rather than hip length.

I think there must be a typo in there somewhere...
I usually fit well into a 16 in normal women's clothes and my Contour jacket,
which fits me nicely (except for being too long in the arms), is an XXL

And since I'm fairly short, the Contour jacket definitely reaches my hips
In fact, that's one of the reasons I got it--it was the longest full mesh jacket I could find

Apparently that mesh fabric is expensive,
so the manufacturers are philosophically opposed to making longer jackets out of it

You might want to try the cortech lrx air jacket. It's gotten a lot of good reviews, too.
