Description
The Z1R Gust jacket styling is meant for cruiser riders! This jacket is the MOST basic black full mesh jacket I think we have. The jacket comes with a set of CE rated shoulder and elbow armor and provisions for a back pad.
The shell of this jacket is almost entirely a flow through mesh jacket, so it is made to perform best in hot summer weather. But then there is also a removable waterproof liner you can zip in to extend the useful temp range. Overall, I think this jacket would take you from the hot summer days to the cooler days in spring and fall. You’ll need something else though for the colder days.
As I said the shell of this jacket is made of nylon mesh which is made to abrasion resistant, and the shoulders and elbows are reinforced with a second layer of a heavier duty material too. The jacket comes with a set of standard elbows and shoulder armor inserts (removable if you like). There is also a pocket to add a back pad. I’d recommend the D3O unit listed below. (choose the men’s size in either thickness… I’d recommend the level 1 thickness).
One nice little feature is on the collar. There is a magnet inside the little flap that closes the collar at the base of your neck so there is no exposed snap. I also see a good deal of dark piping on the back of the jacket which is also reflective so you will get some visibility at night. So overall, and nice basic black full-mesh jacket that will please any cruiser rider’s fashion sense! :: Paul, 01-24-18
