Surfriding Just got a new jet pilot tour coat!

[227]

And it works so good for cutting wind chill on those early morning rides!

It comes oversize, so it fits over your PFD but it's not so sloppy fitting that it gets in the way. Keeps you warm, doesn't reduce your flexibility, This thing is great- Go get one!

Can't believe it took you so long to catch on. okey: Tour coats are better than Tebo!

Hey John, I just got a tour coat a few months back too. I wore it for about 5 rides now and I love it. I never knew how much of a difference these things make!

Thats the one! Yes it does have a hood, which you really wouldn't use on your head when riding, instead you sench up the draw strings and it keeps the back of your neck warm

Yes you would! It's perfect as a neoprene hood under a helmet in sub-40 degree water.

There you go, another good aspect the jacket has to offer!

There you go, another good aspect the jacket has to offer the more deranged individuals in this niche sport for the certifiably insane!

Fixed

So these tour coats are comfortable once you get them soaked? they dry pretty quickly?

 

[Matt_E]

They are very comfortable. They keep the wind off you and provide some extra insulation.

How does sizing go? For example if I was a medium, would I order a medium?

 

[Buckwild12]

if the water is sub 40 degrees, ill be in the hot tub, not riding.

Yes, I emailed them about this before I purchased and they said they come over size as the jacket is suppose to be worn over your PFD so if you wear a medium t shirt, order a medium jacket.

227 what did you pay ?? looks warm and dry for those early morning days i saw it for $100

 

[227]

Yeah its a hundy plus shipping, not the cheapest but it works good. It doesn't keep you dry but it does keep you warm, its just added insulation for riding on windy days or in hard off shore breezes. Not necessary on calm days. I give it two thumbs up

I figure I'll ask here first. I am interested in one of these but I'm 6"6" tall @ 190lbs. I had to order an xl tall wetsuit to fit. Do you thing just an XL would work or am I looking for an XXL?? Any info would be cool. thanks guys

I'm 6'2"/240 & use their XXL. It's a little big without a vest underneath because I wanted a little extra room to fit over the bulky front padding on my Jetpilot vest. At 6'6"/190 you're probably a lot thinner than me, so an XL might be fine.

Also have a question for you other guys who use them: I've only used mine when riding my couches; do they get heavy when wet & how are they to swim with?
