GEARBAG: Tour Master Transition Series 2 Jacket

Tour Master has taken their popular three-quarter length Tour Master Transition jacket upgraded this versatile all-arounder with more comfort and features to create one of the most versatile jackets on the market: the Transition Series 2.

Working from the inside out, the Transition 2 starts off with Tour Master's toasty Z.O.Q. (Zip-Out Quilted), 100gm Polyfill insulation liner. The outer shell features tough 600 Denier Carbolex and 600 Denier Ballistic Polyester construction with reflective Phoslite panels for increased nighttime visibility. A waterproof and breathable Rainguard barrier allows rain protection without perspiration buildup.%s

Fitment is top-notch. Adjustable sleeve take-up straps at the forearm and bicep allow the rider to tailor the fit and also secure the elbow armor, which is constructed of removable, CE-approved pads. CE-armor is also located in the shoulders and back (an articulated triple-density design). The Microfiber lined collar and cuffs are soft yet durable and a collar anchor-snap eliminates flapping when open. Adjustable waist belts with TPR pulls help to fine-tune the fit.

Tour Master's Pipeline Ventilation System is state-of-the-art and incorporates waterproof, zippered three-position shoulder vents
along with chest vents, sleeve vents and rear exit vents to provide substantial flow-through ventilation. A durable two-way main zipper closure with dual wind flap seals out the elements.

The Transition 2 is eminently practical with pockets for just about anything. There are two vertical zippered chest-map pockets, a sleeve key-pocket, zippered hand pockets with flap closures, an internal pocket ideally sized for a cell phone or MP3 player, and a dual-zippered fanny pack. As with all Tour Master jackets, there is a jacket/pant zipper attachment with the pant side included.

Night-time visibility is well thought-out with wide reflective strips across the back and chest, reflective sleeve piping, Phoslite material panels and Tour Master's signature reflective rear triangle.

If your budget allows for just one high-quality riding jacket, the three-quarter length Tour Master Transition Series 2 is the way to go. Available in Black/Black, Red/Black, Silver/Black, Yellow/Black, and Brown/Black. Men's sizes: XS – XXXL (4X Black only), Men's Tall Sizes: MDT-XXXLT, Women's sizes: XS – XL. The Transition Series 2 has an MSRP of $169.99. For more information, visit www.tourmaster.com.
