Summer Gear - Venting Machine

Post by Ed K »

Guys,

FYI. . .There was some talk about summer clothes in the last board. . .I just purchased a BMW Venting Machine jacket, along with BMW summer pants. I looked at many manufacturers out there, and especially like the Venting machine. . .pricey. . .but fits well, and made much better than all the other suits I tried. My only (small concern) is that the amour cannot be "tied" down to be a little more secure; it rests in pockets in the jacket.

Hi Ed - that's the same outfit I wear when I ride - I wear the tan Summer pants and the Black Venting Machine jacket. That Jacket is nice - it is lliterally like wearing nothing in terms of airflow but the padding and mesh is extremely sturdy and confidence inspiring. I have a very nice First Gear mesh jacket but it is like wearing a sweatshirt compared to the Venting Machine!
