Riding to work at this time of year has its appeals. You tough out the cold morning, the street still untouched by the warming massage of all those particles of light, and you receive your afternoon reward of a beautiful fall ride past fields and fauna. These are, at least, my circumstances.
Tour Master puts together some fantastic gear for varying weather conditions, and the Trinity women's jacket is no exception to their rule. The 400 denier nylon construction has a Rainguard barrier that is both waterproof and breathable. Vents in the sleeves, chest, and back turn that simple breathability into great gasps of air throughout the jacket to alleviate the effects of hot days.
For inclement weather, the dual wind flaps on the zippers will keep out unwanted air. A zip-out quilted liner is both comfortable and cozy. Hand warmer pockets, in addition to an internal pocket, a chest pocket, and a cell phone pocket, provide a place to put your paws during stops. I must admit, I'll probably never use a hand warmer pockets while that hot engine is right there.
Adjustable sleeve take-up straps, cuffs, and a waist belt ensure that the Trinity will fit your wonderfully unique figure. The lines create an attention-grabbing hourglass appearance. Reflective piping on the arms will also catch some attention. Catching eyes is only part of safety, so the Trinity has CE-approved armor in the elbows and shoulders, and an articulated triple-density back protector.
A wonderful coat for the wet fall, but it probably won't carry you into the freezing cold without some extra padding. Another drawback: it's not leather, but not everyone cares so much about that anymore. It comes in pink, black, light blue, or white for $150.
