Touring sits between summer gear and adventure gear. Summer gear is cool but soaks in rain, while adventure gear resists water well but is thicker and considerably more expensive. The touring group aims at riders covering road miles all year who want one set that copes with varied weather rather than buying two, typically with light water resistance, a roomier cut so you can layer underneath in cold weather, and full CE armor at the impact points. BigBike currently stocks the Komine JK185, a parka-cut jacket with CE Level 2 armor, light water resistance, a 12-month warranty, at 3,300,000đ. Protective gear reduces how badly you are injured; it does not remove the risk.
It differs in the trade-off between airflow and water resistance. Summer gear maximises airflow with mesh, but soaks through in rain. Adventure gear prioritises waterproofing and protection, usually with a removable liner and a considerably higher price, in exchange for being thicker and warmer in traffic. Touring sits between: enclosed enough for year-round road riding, lightly water resistant for light rain, and cut roomy so you can layer underneath when it is cold. If you only ride the city on hot days, summer gear suits you better; if you often ride through heavy rain for days, step up to adventure.
Three things. First, CE Level 2 armor, a higher protection level than Level 1 in the impact test, which suits faster road riding. Second, the jacket is lightly water resistant, enough for light rain along the way without stopping to put on a rain suit, though to be clear it will not hold out prolonged heavy rain. Third, the roomy parka cut leaves space to layer underneath in cold weather, and it comes in both men's and women's sizes. We stock two colours, blue and olive, at 3,300,000đ with a 12-month warranty.
Yes. The WL version measures close to a standard size S, so larger-framed women and smaller-framed men both fit it. That matters because many touring jackets follow a men's cut, and a jacket that is too loose lets the armor sit off the joint, which reduces its protection. When trying it, check three things: whether the shoulder and elbow armor sits on the joint, whether the sleeves ride up as you reach for the bars, and whether the jacket balloons in the wind. Send us your measurements for sizing advice before you order.
At the moment this group holds a single model, the Komine JK185, and we say so directly rather than have you browse and find the page thin. Touring stock is being added in batches. In the meantime, if you want year-round usability there are two routes: take a parka-cut summer jacket and carry a rain suit to pull over when needed, which is lighter and cheaper; or go straight to the adventure group if you often ride through rain for days at a time. Describe your usual routes and weather and we will suggest the most economical route rather than pushing the expensive option.
