Ok, looked at a couple and fitted some but in the end I decided on BMW's protection Jacket at R2760-00. Acerbis Koerta at R2170-00 was my second choice but the BMW jacket is just more comfortable and slightly les "bulky" than the others with very good ventilation similar to the Koerta. Will try...
Seems that I will spend some Moola this coming week. Doing a clubride on Sunday to Rooiberg so it will be a good test. I am sure this will be far cooler than my Rally Pro when travelling through the Karoo in December
I am doing a 4/5 day trip down to the cape through the Karoo in December. I know that I can expect high daytime temperatures and want to know what upperbody protection I can use ??? I am looking for something very light with lots of ventilation
