Can Am Caliber jacket

[Magdave]

Who owns one and what do you think of them. I have Caliber pants and am considering buying one to match. Thanks :thumbup:

I have one and like it, but I've never had a motorcycle jacket before to compare it to. :dontknow:

I like that you can easily remove the lining too.

I don't HAVE one... But they don't seem to be as useful in high heat conditions as the mesh series...
I guess that a lot will depend on the climate you encounter when riding...
There was JUST one in the 4 Sale section for $150.00 I don't know if it sold...(Size was "Large")

If I get it I will have 3 sets of gear for both my wife and I. One leather (Can Am pants and no name jacket), one mesh( First Gear) and the Caliber for in between. I also have the Can Am rain pants and they work well as a cover over shorts but do not provide much crash protection. I like to be prepared for all weather conditions. I have a Frog Tog set too. Caliber would be used for 60-80 deg weather and mesh above that. In total (if I buy the jackets for my wife and I) I would have under $600 invested for all 3 :thumbup: The ones I am looking at are $159 each and will be the most expensive part of the sets. I have been value shopping. hyea:

Don't know about caliber but the Cavalier is great

 

[Bob Denman]

Isn't that one a bit heavier... and waterproof? :thumbup:

 

[Magdave]

The Caliber Is RPM water proof too although it has a disclaimer " rain gear may be needed in heavier rain" probably because of some of the stretchable parts. That is why I am asking about user experiences.:thumbup:

I read your posts earlier on that one which is one reason I am looking at forking out the $$$ for 50% off deal on these jackets. Still more than I want to pay and I missed a 75% off deal.

My jacket hasn't been wet before.:shocked:

I have both Caliber Jacket & Pants. Like them and use year around cold to hot. the only thing i don't care for is the neck rubs when snapped tight.

Are they a little stiff or do they loosen up over time ? The pants seem to be on the stiff side. :2thumbs:

Do they have a good deal on the Caliber now? I liked the ladies Caliber except for the white sleeves and the fact that it wasn't 100% waterproof. My dealer may still have some of the Cavalier's on sale if you are interested PM me.

The Cavalier collar rubs a little too in the front.

I have one that I bought in late summer and it can be a little warm in the sun, even with the vents open. Although, it does look good! I carry my Frogg Toggs on board all the time so when it rains, I just put my jacket on.

I've worn it a couple of times this winter and I can tell you it's not designed for the very cold, even with the liner in and a few extra layers. But that's ok, three seasons works for me.

And just like Happyspyder said, the collar rubs a little when it's snapped.

I only have the jacket, not the pants.

I have ridden down ot 0 degrees or colder with no problem. Both fit to size if measured correctly unlike the can am shirts that I had to go up one size from normal. Pants are comfortable I could were all day & don't seem stiff to me
