Hi There
I'm looking for any feed-back from female riders that have experience with one of the following jackets:
Fieldsheer Women's Adventure Jacket
Firstgear Kilimanjaro
Teknic Sequoia

I want to buy my wife a touring jacket and because of where we live there's a much better selection on-line. I'm partial to Firstgear products but the new Kilimanjaro doesn't come in red and that's her favourite.

I've been searching the web for reviews but I'd really appreciate any firsthand advice if someone out there has one of these.
Thx very much

I know you didnt list this jacket as one you are considering, but you might want to check it out.

I bought my wife one this summer, and she really likes it. We spent 12 straight days riding in rain and pretty cool weather this August in Nfld and she stayed warm and 100% dry.

It is the Tourmaster Transition Series 2. The mens comes in red, but not the womens for some reason. I actually bought her a mans jacket (in case I might like it....:cool:) She is 5'9" and fairly slender and the jacket fit fine.

I bought it from NewEnough.

Bummer that our $ is really tanking though eh? When i ordered hers, our dollar was sitting at about 1.05 or so. Today it is .77 ugh.

cheers,
