8000 Plus Miles Panhandle Sumer Rider

With the three layers you can wear this in the very cool weather and stay warm but it is best for hot conditions. You can open all the vents and if you’re moving your cool as can be. I wore my Hi vis Yellow all summer long many days around 100 with hi humidity not a lot of fun but I was cooler in the Jacket then out of it. All the pockets and vents hold a lot of stuff and you can put cold water bottles or frozen packs in to really stay cool. Jacket dries out fast after getting wet seems well built as I head towards 9k miles in mine.

Great Jacket

Jacket fits well. Vents well. Recently rode during 88 degree day and stayed cool with the vents opened. Feels very sturdy.

Rons

Wore this jacket to Americade 2009 and used it in a temperature range of 42 degrees to 80 degrees. There were plenty of vents for the warmer weather. I was comfortable in the 42 degree weather with only a tee shirt on under the jacket. Rode an hour and a half in moderate rain on the way home and the waterproof liner worked very well.

Excellent Jacket

I am 5' 7", 160 lbs. and with just a few very slight adjustments to the adjustable straps on the waist and arms this jacket in a medium fits me very well. The vent panel system works well while you are cruising along.

Olympia GT Air Jacket

After three trys with other all-round jackets, I've found the one that has everything I was looking for. Warmth, windbreak, and air-cool depending on the weather. I live in the northwest so all three matter! A little pricey, but worth it.

Possibly the only true year round jacket

Being a poor college student, I was looking for a single jacket that would work through all conditions. I got tons of advice to just buy a separate summer jacket, but the mesh offerings didn't seem to have enough for protection for the period where I ride the most. This jacket seems to offer great protection in Armour and material, and is versatile in a huge temp range. With the right layers underneath I've used it from 10F to 95F!

It does seem to fit a big big, I got a M where I'd normally wear a L. The collar is a bit awkward, and the side pockets are at an odd location, but otherwise the jacket is great. Wonderful venting and versatility! My vote for best year round jacket option.

Great value

This is a great jacket for the money. I wanted something versatile that could be used for most of the year. This does the trick. Also, high viz yellow was important and I liked the styling of this jacket better than other yellow jackets. I ordered a large which was too big and exchanged it for a medium. The medium fits but is still a little bulky in certain places.

Highly Recommend

The "don't hit me" neon is a must when riding amongst the elderly and tourists! I have the Airglide style as well. Have to say, for year round riding the GT is wonderful! I was hesitant at first, having already invested in an Airglide. For my needs, the GT is the jacket I wear, the Airglide hangs unused. Hot or cold the liners and venting options allow me to use it thru all the seasons.
