RIDER AN ALYSIS
There are a lot of choices when
it comes to great-performing
riding jackets but few of them
provide a look that you would
want to wear both on and off
the bike. The Trilobite Rally
Jacket features a mix of waxed
cotton and Trilobitex—the
company's version of high-
strength Kevlar-backed denim.
The jacket features a lot of
zippered ventilation options,
including large vertical vents
on the chest and full-length
arm vents, as well as a large
rear exhaust vent. It also
includes CE Level 2 armor in
the shoulders and elbows, and
a pocket for a CE back protec-
tor. It comes with removable
Thermolite and waterproof
internal liners to make it
versatile for varying weather
conditions. The jacket also
includes four front pockets,
two internal pockets, and a
large rear pocket.
We have never had so
many positive comments and
questions about a riding jacket.
Nearly everybody liked the style
and the fact that the Rally does
not look like a riding jacket. It
looks right at home on several
types of bikes, especially cruiser,
cafe and ADV bikes. The fit is
great, the ventilation options
are abundant, and the pockets
provide plenty of storage
options. The standard elbow and
shoulder guards are high quality.
Our only complaint is the lack of
a back protector, but there was
an easy fix. We simply inserted a
Forcefield back protector.
Overall, Trilobite Rally Jack-
et has become our go-to jacket
for nearly every ride, and we
continue to be impressed with
its performance, and can't help
but enjoy the positive com-
ments about its looks—both on
and off the bike. CN
