Does anyone have the Triumph Raptor II Jacket? I have been looking at it for a while. Just wandering if anyone can give it any reviews? Pros - Cons.

Yes. I have the new Raptor Jacket. I'm always on the search for the perfect jacket, helmet, etc. And I'd say that Raptor Jacket comes close to being the perfect Jacket for me. The fit is not overly tight and feels comfy when I'm riding my bike. There's no extra do dads to get in the way or flapping straps to buffet your face. Zippers all work well and there's no velcro to stick to whatever comes in contact with the stuff. Jacket is tailored nicely. Triumph logos are subtle. Neck area doesn't rub or chaff your chin. So far I'm warm on a cool days ride as I wear a thin pull over shell under the jacket to stop any wind that gets through. Haven't had the inner liner out yet to try it as a mesh jacket, as our spring and summer to date has been on the cool side. I expect it to work well as a mesh jacket as I've tried others and and like the results. Any one want a good deal on an as new First Gear mesh jacket, size large? The Raptor II Jacket gets a  from me.

Thanks for the review, I have had the jacket on at least a dozen times, everytime I go into a Triumph Dealership. With your review the next time I try one on I will take it home with me. Thanks Again!
