Hey Guys! Need your expert advice about a 3/4 season touring jacket in a 3/4 length.
I've been looking around and I am still very undecided about what to get. I already have a summer jacket so I will only need this for fall/winter/spring. Hope you guys can suggest something that fits most of the top requirements.
What I am looking for in order of importance:
1. Waterproof
2. Protection (CE in arms and shoulder minimum, I'll take stronger textile over breathability)
3. Longevity (should last a long time with normal wear)
4. Vents (for big temp changes)
5. Warmth/removable liner
6. Available in Hi-Viz color
7. Looks (of course plays some role)
I am looking to spend no more than $350 but can go up to $400 and that is the absolute limit.
My top choices right now are:
First Gear TPG Rainier (Buy 2010 old stock. Top pick right now, no glaring issues but not warm, some reports of leaking arms)
Olympia AST 2 (Checks all the boxes except tendency to leak)
Rev'it Cayenne Pro (Another good choices but I have been reading a lot about issues with durability in the Rev'it line)
Thanks for the help.
