Club 2 Jacket

wha?
I bought mine when I got my F800ST. Great jacket, but it heats up something fierce in the sun at a stoplight. I ended up taking the armor out of it and now wear it casually.
One thing to keep in mind when purchasing it; it comes with the shoulder and elbow armor but the back piece is extra. At least it was when I got my jacket.

I've had one for a couple months. The fit is true to size and a nice cut, almost making me look slim (wearing an XL at 5'11" and about 225)! I really do like the look of the jacket as a whole.
It is a bit warm in temps over about 75 degrees, so for that type of riding I switch to my mesh jacket. The Club 2 has no venting to speak of although you can leave the sleeves unzipped a bit, allowing the wrists to flare, and get some airflow through there and up the arms. If you're in Mass., you may get a decent amount of spring and fall use out of it, as well as those chilly summer mornings if you commute. I find the collar very comfortable as well.
All-in-all, I like it for local riding and am happy with the armor in the shoulders and elbows.

I wanted one badly, but it just fit weird. Maybe true to size but the cut is odd.
I just bought a Rev'it Turbine jacket (Color Silver/BLK) from the local BMW dealer, but here it is on Revzilla and there is a good video.

this is one of the rev'its that fit true to size (normally I have to go up one size)
If it is a cooler all textile & Mesh very protective jacket you want, it is excellent. I replaced the stock back protecetor with a SAS-tec back protector
My regular jacket is a Rev'it Ignition which I cannot say enough positive about, but I wanted something lighter and a bit cooler for hotter days without sacrificing protection!
