Jitsie T1 09 Jacket....
Thanks to Andy and Mike at Race Techniques in Cheltenham for a good deal I am now the proud owner of this lovely jacket. It looks so good when first opening the plastic packet that Jo, my better half, decided she wants one for the winter for walking the dog etc!!
It certainly feels good quality and when you start to have a look around it that proves to be the case. The fit is spot on and it comes fitted with a removable winter body warmer type lining, which is removed within a few seconds by undoing several pop tabs. The jacket lining underneath is a vented, airtex type of thing and this coupled with various vents around the outside of the jacket help to keep the air circulating. These can be opened and closed by zips, with rain flaps covering, to suit conditions. Also the arms can be zipped off completely giving you even more options to keep warm but allow maximum movement.
The outer shell seems to shrub off the brambles ok and the simple black with bright piping and white Jitsie logos look good with almost any Trials clothing... and won't look out of place popping down to the shops in!!
I haven't managed to try it out in the rain and mud yet but the velcro'd front storm flap and cuffs will help keep the worst out, as well as the wind.
Obviously this jacket will match spot on with my Jitsie black rail riding gear.... got to look coordinated haven't you...!
The Jitsie range is available from most trials dealers, or point your local shop to Apico in the UK as they are the distributer. |
