    Default Has Anybody Tried These?

    I'm wondering how they'd work as some sort of riding gear.
    With all of the pockets; it seems as if they might offer some useful purpose for us...

    I sometime forget where I put my keys or phone in my Can Am jacket.With that one I would be forever trying to remember where I put things.But looks like a nice jacket.

    I have 2 jackets and a vest. All run a bit large. LOTS of pockets but offers no protection. I like all of them but would not wear when riding, no protection and loose fit would flap around too much. Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
    As a layered-ensemble; with some real outer protection... it might just work!
    And yeah: I'd need to keep a map in my hand, that explains where I hid everything!
    (If I put it in a pocket... it'd be lost also! )

    I have a vest and I agree that it would not hold up to the rigors of riding. I found it useful to hold stuff during long flights but it sits in the closet otherwise.

    Agree with Spyder 42 - great for air travel but not really durable enough for motorcycle use

    Hi Bob,
    I've had the Tropiformer jacket for years and love it. Besides riding with it on nice days, traveling through airports is fantastic, since everything fits in the jacket (including your full size ipad).

    I wish I had one when I traveled internationally a lot.

    BTW, I saw a handgun pocket on one of the women's jackets.
