I spent years wearing textile Adventure and Touring jackets and I grew to hate them. I found these jackets to be heavy, only good for one to two seasons and most are very expensive. I decided to try another approach that has completely transformed my riding experience. I purchased a Knox riding shirt with armor and abrasion resistance and paired it up with a Columbia modular jacket. See how transformative this approach has been for me and riding all year long. P.S. I am riding my 2023 Aprilia Tuareg. I rode six sections of BDRs in six different states covering 4200 miles in 18 days. I was exposed to freezing temperatures, rain and also very hot temperatures exceeding 100º.
