first gear torrent jackets on sale nklr

Listers,
I was just talking with Martin Earl (RevMaaatin) about excellent
experiences dealing with
www.newenough.com . He just called them to
cancel an order from last night so he could change the order for jackets
he really wanted.
The First Gear Torrent Air Mesh Jacket has just gone on sale for $65.
Regular price is about $200 so this is what I would refer to as a killer
deal. Not all sizes are available but if they have a size and color you
like this is worth consideration.
The Torrent equals as a replacement for the Air Mesh Kilimanjaro which is
discontinued. It has a removable liner that is warm and waterproof.
I bought a Torrent last summer when it went on sale for $119 and thought
that was the best deal I'd ever see.
I understand there is a limited quantity of these jackets available
(something about a train wreck and insurance) so the first to the trough
will get to partake.
Take a look at
www.newenough.com in the close out section under First
Gear, Mesh Jackets and Pants to find this deal.
Good luck and best,
Jeff Saline

This isn't the cheapest, but gerbing electric gear under an aero-stich suit is mighty comfortable.

The cheapest cold weather gear I ever saw was the $5 snowmobile suit my buddy picked up at Goodwill. it was ugly, but it kept him warm.

first gear torrent jackets on sale nklr
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 9:49 pm
by kjedick
I was thinking of getting one myself, but, I'm not sure of the size. I tried
a first gear jacket ( not the torrent) on at my local mc shop. The large
seemed to fit a little snug and the xl arms were too long. I have a large
mesh joe rocket that fits snug too. I guess my question would be, does to
mess give a little extra room?

Ken,
Sorry I don't have experience with other makes of jackets. Once I
started using First Gear Kilimanjaro jackets, and now the Torrent, I
don't have any interest in other gear.
If it helps at all... I'm 5' 9" and weight about 175 pounds. I normally
wear a size 40 or 42 coat and in the First Gear jackets I find a large to
fit well. Not hanging off loose but loose enough so I have room to
freely move.
At sub freezing temps down to about 5 degrees they start to get a tad
snug when I'm wearing a tee shirt, heated vest, sweatshirt, liner and the
jacket.
For this kind of price I think you could risk it and if it just doesn't
fit wait a few weeks till they aren't on sale anymore and then sell in
like new condition for exactly what you have in to it for cost and
shipping.
Best,
Jeff Saline
