Description:

Jacket designed to go anywhere, anytime. The Adventure Ballistics Jacket is a waterproof yet breathable four season all-weather jacket loaded with features. Removable insulated liner and dual vent system makes it perfect in warmer weather too. All Season 4-in-1 Layer System. 500 denier Ballistics shell, stronger than Cordora, 1050 Ballistics double layer in high impact areas. Breathable seam-sealed waterproof lined. Removable insulated full to-sleeve liner. Removable body armor in shoulders, elbows and spinal pad. Tons of vents for cooling. Dual back vents lets air out. Under arm zippers is like "opening the flood gates" for cooling. Seven water sealed external pockets and one internal zippered pocket. Extra large pocket on back is a great place to stow removable insulated liner on hotter days. Hand warmer pockets. Soft, polar fleece-lined collar with dual snap closure. Front dual storm flaps have zippered entry reinforced with hook and loop closure and dual snap. Articulated arms for riding comfort. Sleeve compression straps to reduce wind flap. Lots of reflectivity in front, side and rear. Draw string at sweep. Waist and side expansion areas. Vertical zippers for sitting comfort. New metal mesh Marsee logo. Jacket zips to Adventure Ballistic Pants. CHEST measurements are taken to allow for a sweater to be worn under jacket. ** SLEEVE measurements are taken from center back of neck, over top of shoulder and down to wrist bone. We have had good success at fitting women since there's waist/hip adjustability.

While men have a million choices of ballistic/textile jackets for touring. I found it tough to find a good textile touring jacket for a small woman. I wanted features and I wanted a jacket that actually fit me and looked good too. After purchasing 4 jackets and returning them all back, I purchased the Marsee Adventure jacket. I’m 5’5” and the smallest size 36 fits me like a glove.
This is a longer ¾ length jacket, but it’s not too long for the sportbike, so the material doesn’t bind. It’s completely waterproof and has vents, although the venting is not as great as I would like. Also, since the jacket is black it’s really warm when the temperature goes over 80 degrees. This jacket is a perfect winter/spring/fall touring jacket. It has a full sleeve zip in liner. The pockets are very useful and not too big. I keep my wallet in one, the ipod in the other and my digital camera in another, the pockets are also waterproof. This jacket has seen a lot of rain and stayed very dry.
The textile material that this jacket is made from is very thick. I actually dislike wearing textiles because textile flaps around in the wind while leather doesn’t. This jacket feels like wearing leather since the textile is very stiff, it doesn’t flap in the wind or move at all. It’s very much like the fabric that the Aerostich is made from. I could see this material protecting me in a crash. Plus this jacket has excellent armor in the shoulders and elbows and even a built in back protector. Something most textile jackets lack.
Even though this is a men’s cut jacket, the shoulders are very small on it, the sleeves fit me just right, not too long or wide and adjustable, as is the waist. This is a very comfortable and good looking jacket. I have only worn it since last season, but have already put 15,000 miles using it. I would not recommend it for summer and hot weather though. It’s perfect from 35-80 (low humidity) degrees.
