Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes:
I looking to buy a warm/waterproof textile HD jacket, and despite what the Motorclothes website lists, apparently the only one available is the most expensive "Innovator Triple Vent Waterproof Functional Jacket" part # 98539-14VM.
Does anybody have this jacket? Wondering how warm it is, very cold here in Newfoundland most of the time.
Also how comfortable?
Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

I wear leather, but, couple of my bros swear by the high end textile jackets.

 

Yes I have that jacket....................It is expensive but it was well worth the money to me.

It is truly a four season jacket.

I have worn it down into the low 30's combined with a fleece jacket underneath and the full liner in and the vents closed and was comfortable. I have also worn it up into the mid 90's with a t-shirt on, the liner out and all vents open and was comfortable.

I live in East Tennessee and rode from upper PA home with this jacket in a light to moderate rain the whole way and stayed dry the entire trip.

So yeah it was high priced but my experience with it over the last 18 months and been very positive and I have no regrets on purchasing this jacket and would recommend it.

 

I'm very happy with mine. Expensive, but worth it for me.

 

I have a lower end Harley textile jacket (can't recall the model name, but was bought on closeout / discontinued 2 years ago). I've been pretty impressed so far. It doesn't have a removable liner, but comfortable down to 40 degrees or so with a fleece layer underneath, tolerable that way down to 35 or so. I typically don't wear it over 70 degrees, but have on occasion up to 80, and it's OK with vents open. No problems in light rain - no water penetration. Always used a rain shell over it in heavy rain, so don't know how it would fare.

 

I WAS a textile jacket fan until I got my FXRG mid weight leather jacket. It's warmer when cold and cooler when hot. Also totally waterproof. I comes with a built in kidney belt that works to seal the bottom of the jacket, you get no drafts.

 

Another option is a heated jacket liner & heated gloves.

 

I have a HD leather jacket with the triple vent system. My issue is that I get hot easily, and I am very impressed with how it moves air through the jacket. I can wear it comfortably into the low 80's. That is about 10 degrees warmer than my other jackets.
