I picked up a new riding jacket...the Firstgear Rush in Dayglo/Black. So far, I am happy with it. It is VERY noticeable in daylight. It has retro-reflective striping on the chest, arms, and back so it should also be seen at night.  Joe |

I have the Tourmaster version and it has already paid for itself twice. Both times the driver was just going to roll through the Stop sign and at the last minute saw me and hit the brakes. I love my new Hi-Vis jacket! |

How good is the flow through ventilation with that jacket?

Saw a jacket at the MC show in NY that had brake and turn signal LEDs built into the back. Very cool, but very expensive from what I recall.

Hey Fudd, I wanted to give it a day or two before answering you. Airflow is decent. I came out of a Joe Rocket Pheonix 4.0 and I thought it was pretty good. The FirstGear has solid front pockets and I think that blocks a little of the air. |
