3/5

Although excellent, the expected value was below Large.

Ultimate Versus Extreme Cold Spec." I bought it with high expectations because it claimed to be "the best", but I felt disappointed because I had set my expectations too high. Also, I was disappointed because my expectations were too high. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not.
If you look at it as an ordinary winter jacket, it is excellent in terms of both performance and price.
However, since the evaluation is based on the product name and the product introduction, the review is a bit harsh.

-4°C to 11°C (This is a Motorcycle Thermometer, so there is a margin of error.) About 16 hours I write what I felt while touring in cloudy weather.

〜I thought it was a good place to start.

0A hard-edged design with few odd color additions.
0Outer neck warmer around the neck blocks cold air more effectively than expected.
The SIDE of the hem opens wide when the fastener is released, so that the outer layer that is leaned toward the rider's stomach when riding does not bulge out, resulting in a natural riding posture.
0Adjuster at the sides of the abdomen and a long chest soft pad prevent the garment from feeling too bulky.
The pocket on the chest is thick and easy to take out. The waist pocket is also large enough to hold a hat or wallet without difficulty.

〜I was not happy with the way it was handled.

0Handling of Hoods that are out of control due to high velocity ranges and strong winds.
→ Hood gets a little out of control when cruising at high speeds or in high winds. That is normal, but I am concerned about the fur shedding. It seems to be rolled up and stored, but when stored, the fur sticks out and is dirty, so I would like to keep it rolled up as much as possible except when it rains. Also, it is quite difficult to store it with helmets and gloves. I don't want to take a break to put away the hood before entering a highway or a single-digit national highway. I thought it would be better if there was a button on the back to hold it in place when deployed, so it wouldn't get out of control.
If you say, "Why don't you just remove the hood," you are right, but it looks cooler with it on.

If you claim to be the ultimate, Inner should be Standard Equipment with a Caph.
The→outer fabric is firm and resilient, and the lining is not particularly brushed, so when I squeeze the sleeves, my wrists feel stiff and cold. I think it's fine because you can squeeze them thin, but if you use inner fabric with Caph, which is already available in the market, the feeling of wearing will be improved and it will also block cold air from the wrists, so why is it not adopted as standard?
seriously Focused on the ultimate in thermal performance." I wonder? … I thought.

I wanted to have a twist on cold protection for the zOuter as well.
I like that the→Outer is only Waterproof and windproof, leaving the heat retention function to the Inner, but then the Outer doesn't have to be this one, does it? I thought, "If that's the case, why not use this for the Outer? If you wear it normally, you will feel the cold air as the Material gets cold even if you are not running in sub-zero temperatures.
If you assume that the user will supplement the cold protection with individual layers of clothing and electric heating, you will honestly feel no difference from other jackets.
As long as the product name calls itself Polar, I thought it would be nice if the Outer had some appropriate treatment.
The outer jacket consists only of waterproof windproof fabric and a thin down jacket (the arms do not seem to be treated with titanium), but I wondered if it could be called a polar spec jacket. I thought so.

This is a very selfish review, but Rough&Road is my favorite brand, so I dared to write what I thought. I will use this Jacket with ingenuity for a long time. View detail

3/5

Rough material and waterproof finish that does not repel water

I bought it because of its good design and ventilation function. I did not try it on, just the picture, and the size was XL based on the description. I imagine that it was made with a little room to spare because it is compatible with the newly developed and released AirProtector. I think it is Merit because you can put a lot of clothes inside in winter. The fabric material is stiffer than it looks in the picture. I can't help it because I think it is safe because it is made of Material that is resistant to breakage. The back and chest are Protector (sold separately). (Expensive) I thought I would wear it casually and lightly when touring, but it was surprisingly heavy and stiff on my shoulders. It is lighter than Dainese leather jacket, but it is beyond my imagination. The zipper has to be tightened tightly to prevent water from getting in. The material seems to be Waterproof, but the water repellency is almost Zero, so when it rains, water spreads over the surface of the fabric and lightly soaks through the gaps between the zippers. It is true that water does not directly enter through the fabric, but the surface of the fabric gets wet in a nasty way, so it is better to use a water-repellent spray. I think it is better to use water-repellent spray. As I mentioned above, it is an exact size in winter if you wear a down or parka inside. If it is hot, you can make the Intake from the arms and the front zipper part Air Intake, and if you release the rear air exit, it will be cooler. I felt that the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius even if I wear a thin inner layer and use the ventilation function.
I wrote a lot of things, but if you like Design, it's good that you don't CUB everywhere you go because not many other people wear it. right, left, or I'm a Kushini? It won't be like that. View detail

Riding ZIP Mesh Jacket

3/5

Not so good in details, but cosy.

I chose this product because I wanted to avoid the old Stereo type motorcycle wear with a big logo and lots of square pockets! I chose this product because I wanted to avoid old-fashioned Stereo type motorcycle wear with lots of square pockets, and because it is reasonably priced.

The ventilation is very good and comfortable.
The size may be for midsummer (light clothing), or it may be a little too small (not too big even if worn by a slim person like me), so some people may be more comfortable wearing a size larger, depending on their body shape.
We are generally satisfied that it was a good purchase.

On the other hand, the details are not. One more step." The following points stand out.
I am worried that the fastener might hit the tank when pushing and pulling the motorcycle because the pockets on both SIDES are on the front side.
...and the collar is saggy.
Double stitching for elbow reinforcement is too low and only reinforces the forearm, not the elbow.
The Protector of other companies generally does not have a proper position due to its length, or it is gapped (see below).

*Supplement:About Protector
It seems that Rough & Road's Protector is larger in size (or more generous in size) than other companies' products in general.
Therefore, if you try to use a CEProtector from another company, the pocket for the Protector is too large and the Protector will not be placed in the proper position.
The chest is especially noticeable. Raflo's chest Protector is long and vertical, so even if a competitor's chest Protector is inserted, it will become a belly Protector.
The elbow is also in a position that could be a forearm Protector, and the back is also wide enough to be a Quantity depending on the Protector.:Pair (for Left and Right) I'm curious about the Gap in the

Then why not just buy Protector from Rough & Road?" However, Rough & Road's Protector is honestly less attractive than those of other companies.
Especially when it comes to the chest, CE Standard is not provided at all.
Personally, I have always had my doubts about the shortness of the Chest Protector (it can't cover all the plow bones), so I prefer the longer Chest Protector size of the Rough & Road...

I had no choice but to adjust the position of the Protector by placing Velcro tape on the chest and elbows inside the pocket where the Protector is placed.
The back is layered with Jacket's standard mesh protector and another company's CEProtector (for ventilation). View detail
