Re: Motorangutan Cycles - S.Austin Dual Sport and ADV Gear!
So, Wes at Motorangutan gave me a fantastic deal on the new MSR Explorer series Alterra jacket!
Wearing this home I immediately noticed the following, and I am very pleased with this long distance, cool to freezing cold jacket!
- The quality of the materials is excellent, its a cut above many lower priced jackets and feels very long lasting and durable
- The collar is very comfortable, snug, and is lined. The little tab for holding the collar open is excellent!
- The cut is very comfortable, and well proportioned. The internal chinching tabs allow you to snug up the fit so it does not flap around, and the body armor stays in place.
- The big zipper is easy to use, and the lower portion opens so you it does not bunch up on the bottom when on the bike.
- The armor feels very substantial and offers great coverage, I felt very secure in this jacket.
- Has front chest padding to protect if you go over bars or windshield, or take a rock from someone's roost.
- Overall the jacket is very light, so it does not feel cumbersome when wearing it.
- The med size fits well, allowing a fleece or electric jacket liner inside. I think the comfort, wind proofing, and protection overall are fantastic.
Highly recommended, and check in with Wes at Motoranguatan to get a great deal from a local busniness owner!
