Great value...
An excellent jacket for the price, far superior to jackets costing much more. I've worn the jacket for a couple of months now and I am very pleased with the fit and finish. Buy the Hi Viz version...being seen can save your life!

Tour Master - Transition Series 2 Jacket
The jacket is a great buy for the price and lives up to the advertisement about not having to change when the weather does. I live in Texas and this held true weekly. I have been caught in the rain a few times and she holds out the wind and water, keeping me warm and dry. During the hot sunny days, she is also not too hot to handle and all the openings keep you cool with a soft breeze running through this protective shell. I use it daily for my city commute and the reflective properties and incredibly valuable. I travel a lot and this is the only jacket I have needed walking the cold, wet and snowy streets of Europe. I do wish they had included two hand warmer pockets at ribs length to keep my hands warm while not riding. This is a great jacket for travel, lots of pockets, great removable armor, warm as toast and looks great!

Tour Master Transition Series 2 Jacket
Great jacket, especially for the price. Sturdy tough and warm. I feel invincible is this jacket. Lots of features, zippers, pockets and velcro. I really like the little zippered pocket on the left forearm. I wear a 44 and bought the 44/Large and it fits like a glove, perfect. Great armor, adjustable using the snaps on the outside of the jacket to cinch up elbow and shoulder armor perfectly. I also like the rear glove pocket. Not much wind protection around the neck. Use a neck gaiter. Great value.

Tour Master Transition Series 2 Jacket
As a 6' 200 pound man, I found the XL/46 was a perfect fit, with and without the liner. As for the liner, I found it difficult to fasten the sleeve snaps because they are so far up the sleeve. I just leave them unsnapped so I can take the liner out easily. As for the collar, it fits snugly, but when the wind hits it, it put pressure on your throat. This is eliminated with the installation of the windshield. The colors are great and I get all kinds of compliments on the jacket. Also, the reflective qualities are great, but I still wear a florescent yellow vest for additional safety. There are inner pockets, but difficult to get to when the jacket is totally secured for the ride. Concerning the zipper, you have to be very careful when you first thread the zipper because it will pull the threads all the way through and then you have a stuck zipper. Meaning it doesn't stop at a certain point like it should. Overall, a great jacket and it keeps me warm on cool days in Colorado.

Tourmaster transition 2 jacket
I've had this jacket for a month and couldn't be happier. I ordered the 2XL and it fits great. As a big guy, 6'5” and 270 lbs the jacket's sleeves are plenty long and the jacket doesn't restrict movement - even with the liner. Being a new rider, I took a minor tumble and the jacket did suffer a very minor abrasion to the shoulder and lower arm, but not too bad. The armor came in handy that day....
I highly recommend this jacket because the price is great for the features and the fit.

Worth the money
Before you ponder why I rated the Fit a 4 because the neck is slightly loose in fit. Not bad, just loose. And Durability got the same based on previous reviews and article reviews from print rags- but personally I have only owned it for a week.
This is a great item. I actually sold my leathers, because I like the jacket that much. With the liner in I did a 35 mile commute in 30 degree weather with only a long sleeve t-shirt on. I was quite impressed by the ability to kill the chill. I have not been caught out in the rain so far, but I figure that the worthiness of that ability will be spot on as well. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. This may be the best jacket I've paid for in my 26 yrs of riding.

All weather coat
The temps where I ride run from low 40's in the morn to mid 70's later same day and this coat transitions seamlessly if there is one complaint it's that it has too many options I'm still finding extras after three months use. Great buy.

Downgrading My Original Review
Now that I have lived with this jacket for a couple of years, I have become progressively disenchanted with it. With its features, it ought to be a world-beater, but as threads come unraveled and the shell becomes frayed without having been abused, the quality of materials have proven to be very poor and compromise the jacket's value. Moreover, the armor placement, quality, coverage leave much to be desired. The jacket excels as cold weather protection, but as a protective garment, it is sadly lacking.

good all around jacket
This jacket is great for all around use. I use it every day to commute to work. In the morning when it’s cold it does a good job of keeping you warm. In the afternoon you can open the vents and stay cool. It is too hot for very humid weather but has no problem either 80 to 85 degrees. The high vis color is also a plus. I got caught in the rain and this jacket did a great job of keeping me dry. Glad I got this one

First motorcycle jacket I've bought. Love it, great construction and fit. Mornings are already getting cool 40-50F and the jacket keeps me comfortable/warm on my 20 minute ride to work. I had to exchange original order for my mistake with sizing. The customer service person helping me was kind, courteous and professional, helped me more than I expected with return and re-ordering. I'll definitely return to shop due the great product, price and service.

Nice jacket
I have ridden about 2000 miles since buying this jacket in 100-110 degree temps in Arizona and it is hot inside at all. It is a well built jacket and has held up well so far.

Replaced my old Tourmaster Cortech
After 12 years of Idaho weather I replaced my old red coat. The new Tourmaster Transition was tested in snow to 100 degree heat in one long weekend ride, the venting is great and water proof. Looking forward to testing this one too.

This is a great jacket
It looks good, its quite warm even without the liner, and very comfortable. The zipper was a bit hard to get zipped for a while, but now it seems to have broken in. I would rate this as a best buy for the buck, for sure. Very tough.

I'm very pleased with this jacket. I've ridden in temps of 85 degrees with vents open and was comfortable. A very well made, durable jacket.

This is an Awesome Jacket!!
I LOVE this jacket! I bought it a couple of months ago during the summer for use while commuting this winter, and I've only been able to wear it a few times, but I guarantee it will keep you warm and dry! Mornings are cool now, but I feel warm an cozy. The warm afternoon ride home isn't so bad either with all the vents in this jacket. I would definitely recommend this product, and buy again if I had it to do over.

Great Jacket for the Price
I got this Jacket a few months ago been using since then with no problems at all. I like the venting helps keep you cool on the hot days haven't tried it yet on cool days yet but the liner that came with the jacket should keep me warm I would think.

Very nice but....
Very nice jacket but wish it were just a little bit bigger. Received an XL, good fit, just no room for a sweater or sweat shirt.

tourmaster jacket
Great jacket!. I weigh 190 and wear a 44r. With the liner in place it's a bit snug but the next size up would probably be too large. It is waterproof (tested). Its got so many storage areas I'm not sure I've found them all. Ventilation is very good. Be hard to find a better jacket for the price.

TRANS. SER. 2
A SUIT OF ARMER, FEEL PROTECTED FOR SURE. COMFORTABLE WITH ALL VENTS OPEN ON WARM DAYS, BUT WHEN IT GETS HOT OR IN SLOW TRAFFIC IT GETS TOO WARM. ALL IN ALL IT IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND I THINK IT WILL BE GREAT WITH LINER IN WHEN THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN. LOTS OF POCKETS FOR STUFF AND YOU COULD PROBABLY USE THIS COAT FOR SCUBA DIVING, IT SEALS UP VERY TIGHT. WELL CRAFTED AND I WOULD BUY AGAIN.

Best Jacket
This jacket is awesome. Excellent for mild weather riding, zip in the liner and you are ready for cold weather, open up all the vents and you are ready for hot weather. This jacket has all the options you want and need. I love this Jacket.

Good deal
All in all I like the coat, but for me 5'6" and well, rather round in the middle, the coat is kind a long. Not that I want to return the jacket, but if I could do it over again, I think would buy the Pivot, simply because I think it's a little shorter. Oh, the shoulder puffs up a little too much, just a little. But all in all, I like it and I’ll keep it.

winter to summer
Sleeves are a little long for me, but that’s about the only problem. I've ridden in temps from 30 to the mid 90's comfortably. With the vents closed and the liner in, it keeps the wind and heavy amounts of water out and insulates very well. With the liner out and the vents open, the air flow (as long as you're in motion) is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more versatile jacket.
