Triumph Summer Riding Gear Review
Earlier this summer I was pleased to hear from MO that they wanted me to test some of the excellent summer riding gear from Triumph. After reviewing the huge amount of options available from my Triumph Dealer I settled on a Bright Red Integra Jacket, Black Raptor Vented Jeans, and Explorer 2 Sympatex Gloves. I knew right away that this bit of kit was going to make my summer riding and commuting a much more pleasant experience.
I've always been a "high protection" kind of rider when it comes to gear I wear.
In winter I always wear my faded but trusty Aerostitch Suit, and in Summer I've always suffered through the heat in my Black perforated leathers. I typically commute about four days a week on my 2002 Triumph Speed Triple or my 2006 Triumph Daytona 675. My commute is near the coast in Southern California, so the temperatures are usually quite mild by Southern California standards. On the other hand, this summer has been quite hot and humid, with traffic seeming to get worse every day. I'm happy to say that the Integra Jacket and Explorer 2 gloves totally fit the bill for summer riding. I've spent all of my commute time this summer wearing this new gear from Triumph and I'm quite happy for it!
When we arrived at the top of the crest, it was a sunny and warm 65 degrees of so. I removed the waterproof cover from my Integra Jacket and proceeded to run one of my most comfortable rides down the crest (while leaving my friends in the dust). Haulin' A' at a nice comfortable pace, keeping cool, comfortable and relaxed with my Integra Jacket, Explorer 2 Gloves, and Raptor Jeans. I had a great ride and quickly fell in love with my new summer riding gear from Triumph!
