Can-Am Kavalier Series Jacket Review

[SpyderAnn01]

If you are looking for a great all around three season jacket this one is awesome. The catalog says "The absolute pinnacle of technical road riding gear, with sophisticated technologies delivering comfort in every condition. It's like a heating and cooling system for your body." It is waterproof, windproof and breathable and has a lot of reflective material. I don't know why it works but it does go from keeping you warm to not getting overheated as the temperature changes. It has magnets that keep the zipper flaps from flapping around which I prefer to the alternative velcro. And probably my favorite thing is the attached hood that even has a face piece to keep water from running down your neck.

Now I would not have paid the $699.99 catalog price but my dealer recently got some of these at a really great price and even though they are a man's jacket I purchased one for myself.

For the ladies I tried on the Voyager Series jacket at the Motorcycle Show and it is very nice, really cute and has a nice roomy fit. But for me white sleeves just won't work. Also, this one is not 100% waterproof.

I second the motion on the jacket. I have one and they are great.

I might try one if they were $299 - 399, but $699 is outrageous. I have a TourMaster jacket that will go from 100F to 30F and it was less than $300.

My dealer had them for $299. I agree totally I never would have bought one at $699. They had them at the Owners Event last summer for about that same price and I was tempted then but with it being the middle of the summer I didn't see the need. As I live in Las Vegas longer the winter is starting to feel a little colder than it did the first year.
