Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Helmets and Gear Rochester Mesh Jacket

Is anyone out there using the Rochester mesh jacket? If so what are your thought on it? Looks, fit, cooling ability and such. Does it have a padded neck? I'm not crazy about the look of the Raptor.

I have one and like it a lot. It doesn't have a padded neck, as far as I recall (it's at home and i'm at work), but the neck doesn't chafe at all. It fits very well, at least in my case at a size 46. Good armor, nice detail. It does say Triumph in large letters across the back -- but I like wearing it to H-D hangouts. Also, the British flag on the sleeve is kind of cool, IMHO. Good value.

Thanks for getting back to me. How many pockets does the jacket have? Also, is the back armor removable? I like the looks of the jacket. Appreciate the input. Shakey

I bought mine at the link below for $127.50 + $12.00 for UPS shipping. It arrived in four days. I wear a 44-46, bought a size 48 for a good fit. Comes with shoulder, elbow, and back armor. BTW, outside of being a customer, I'm not affiliated in anyway.

Rochester Jacket

I have it. It has two pockets on the outside and two on the inside (I think). Shoulder, back, and elbow pads are all removable. The only drawback to the jacket is that it is black. That is still quite warm in the Florida sun even with the perforations. Still like the overall quality and recommend it.

Ride Safe.

The Rochester jacket sounds like the ticket for warm weather riding, too bad nobody has one in stock. Triumph should have an online store here in the states so a body can get something in short order. Sure would make it handy.

Hiya Shakey
I haven't seen the Rochester jacket but I have the Raptor - in black of course .

Even over here, I found the Raptor very useful if the recent warm weather we're having.
