New Tourmaster Epic Jacket – Fall 2008

Tourmaster Epic Jacket

Tourmaster has introduced their much awaited Tourmaster Epic touring jacket for the fall of 2008.  It is a three-quarter jacket (available in black or hi-vis yellow) that has several nice features built into it.

Many of the Epic’s features were copied from the very successful Tourmaster Transition 2 jacket and include:

  • Constructed of 600 denier Carbolex and 600 denier ballistic polyester
  • Waterproof but breathable RainGuard barrier
  • Shoulder, sleeve, chest and back vents
  • Phoslite piping and strips for visibility
  • Removable, quilted liner for added warmth
  • CE armor in the shoulder, elbows and back

However, the Epic has some key differences which need to be mentioned:

  • Aqua Barrier under-the-helmet hood to keep water from going down the back of your jacket in the rain (this is the same under-the-helmet hood used on Tourmaster’s high end rain gear)
  • Integrated kidney and back support belt to help keep the rider comfortable on long trips
  • Increased attention to detail and finish of the jacket
  • Additional padding in the shoulders

If you are a touring rider, you might want to give the Tourmaster Epic jacket a serious look.  Many of the features found in other touring jackets but at a cost that is under $300.

If you like this jacket, also consider the following:
