Dean Brassfield - January 26, 2009(North Hollywood, CA)

This was a Christmas Gift from my daughter that she ordered for me after a few "subtle" hints I had "dropped" to her. I tried this jacket on in a store first and it fit like a glove and made me break a sweat in under a minute after trying it on...I knew right then it would keep me warm. The Rincon won't let a wisp of air inside once you adjust the belts and velcro straps, no matter how fast you're riding, and I ride a "naked bike." The jacket is extremely comfortable and well armored. I would recommend this winter jacket to my best friend! There's no doubt in my mind it's going to last me a long, long time. My last Tourmaster sure did, over twenty years!

The RINCON says ADVENTURE

The RINCON size Large fits like a glove, I'm 6'2 200lbs, (long arms) and it is perfect, the material it is made out of is sweet different than the 'plastic' look. Once you adjust all the straps it is tight and moves with you and the armour moves and looks normal - no air is getting in. I live in Portland, Oregon and ride a KLR650 year round. This jacket is me, it says ADVENTURE, and now I am looking into a second pair of Caliber pants. THANKS TOURMASTER!

A very thoughtful development of a road jacket. Has everything going for it. Pockets, armor, fit adjustments for different weather conditions. Jacket didn't flap in the wind, but conformed to my body.

I tried on the transition 2 jacket and it did not fit right. The Rincon jacket fits well and the oiled cotton fell is a nice feel better then that hard textile feel. Looks a whole lot better in person then in the picture. This jacket to me is a whole lot better of a purchase than the transition jacket and a better look. I'm 6'4 and 230lbs and I wear 2xl my arms are long the chest is a little big but over all jacket fits well and looks awesome on. I think this jacket misses a lot of sells because of the picture. I seen the jacket in a local shop and was impressed with the oiled cotton look, just looks like a high quality jacket instead of a cheap plastic look.

Just like someone else already wrote "the photos don't do this jacket justice". So stop staring at the pictures and looking at that little "enlargement" window, because it won’t help. You'll just have to take our word for it. It's so much nicer in real life. You just have to see the actual fabric and you need to see on your body to know what I mean. Recently, I bought a Kathmandu jacket and if I had seen both of these jackets side by side, there is no way I'd have bought the Kathmandu. Anyway, as far as the fit goes, I bought the large and I was a little worried, because I already own a medium Transition and it still fits, slightly snug now. As it turns out. this one is only slightly larger than my medium so if you’re on the fence about the medium or the large, this large isn't as large as they say. I am 5-10 and weigh around 200 LBS. I usually wear a 42-44 and this fits perfect. So, it's an excellent jacket not only for the price, but for any price. Forget those retro jackets that are $300 and up, this one is great. By the way, I think it's better than the transition jacket. It certainly looks better. I am a Tourmaster fan for life. I only wish I had purchased this one 9 jackets ago...

So good I had to review it twice

This is my new favorite jacket (lots of pockets). It is well made and durable. I have already used it in the rain and temperatures down in the 20’s and stayed warm/dry during an hour commute. I read a previous review about using a balaclava because of the low collar, and he was right.

So many details I didn't know from just looking at the pictures. Zippers, vents, inside pockets, adjustments to really get the jacket air tight or loose and airy. It is quite heavy but once on, feels great. Too warm for 80+ weather but I've worn it to drive to work in the 50 degree range (without the zipout liner) and it was great. Much more stylish like the older English motorcycle jackets and not like the motocross look popular today. I love it!

You can't beat this jacket for the money. I've been caught in some heavy downpours and stayed nice and dry. I have been in 30 degree weather, with only a t-shirt on underneath, and stayed warm. Lots of pockets, removable liner, and vents. It's great looking too! Wind can go down your neck if you don't have something covering, like a turtleneck or a balaclava. Money well spent.

Astounding quality and workmanship. Have been riding since the mid-60s and have never owned a jacket this good for under a $100. Highly recommend. Sizing seemed true. I am 6-0, 190lbs and usually wear x-large and this jacket fit perfectly. Have not yet ridden in cooler weather, but the liner is not needed in mid-50s temps we have around here at moment. The armor is easily removable. All in all, every inch of this jacket is quality, from the snaps to the zippers, to the stitching.

Couldnt beat the price.

Rincon Jacket is great. Got the Large which fits me good. 5'10 weight 185lbs. The sleeves are long enough for my arms, (Rare) when I buy a jacket. During the real cold rides which will be in the upper 20's and lower 30's I will be layering with a flannel shirt and long johns. The Jacket blocks 100% of the wind. A fleece neck cover will be used as well. The added warmth is there for my work commute. Should stay toasty. Buy with confidence.

I live in Utah and now the weather is getting colder. I ride to work early in the morning and this jacket keeps me perfectly warm. Under it I only wear a shirt and a tie and I do not get cold at all. In the afternoon the temperature goes up to 70 or so and the jacket is still comfortable if I keep moving. When I am in stop-and-go I get a bit too warm so I have to unzip a bit or open vents. I also really love all the pockets. Great product from Tourmaster!

It is an awesome jacket and way better than any of the other much more expensive bike jackets I have owned. I have ridden in temps as low as 32 degrees and haven't felt any cold. My rides to work are 15 mins at highway speeds and I never got cold. I definitely recommend for the price!

The zip out liner is nice. I would definitely recommend to a friend. I'm 6ft 215lbs (average shape) and usually buy a 44R suit and I ordered the XL which fits nicely.

The jacket fits true to size, is comfortable to wear, seems exceptionally well made from nice material. It offers a lot of pockets for carrying small items and also has a good number of ventilation slits for when it is not so cold. I have ridden in the low 40's up to the mid 70's with the jacket on this fall wearing just a t-shirt underneath and been very comfortable. I really like the look and styling of this jacket, too. Well done, Tourmaster!

The best $100 I've spent since I started riding. By varying base layers, depending on the temperature, I've ridden with the temp as low as 38 degrees for 25 minutes and maintained complete warmth. Completely wind proof. Tons of pockets. Excellent fit and seems very well made after a couple of months of use. Look forward to using this coat in warmer weather when I can zip out the lining.

Amazing product for the money. Have ridden in 40 degree weather (liner in) and did not feel cold at all. Almost impervious to the rain, too. The neck area can get wet so I'd recommend the rider wear a balaclava around the neck or an Undergear turtleneck. However, if the jacket had a higher collar I could see it interfering with the bottom rim of my helmet. Jacket is very high quality.

Best deal on a jacket ever!

Got this on sale for $98.00. It is very warm and totally waterproof. I have riden in temps as low as 15f and stayed warm. Use a turtleneck as the colar is a little low. The pockets stay water tight and there are many of them. The feel of the fabric is great. I am 5'10" tall and 170lbs. The large is just right. It still has a little room if you want to put extra layers in there but it would need to be very cold for that. This jacket is worth 4 times the asking price.

I contemplated this purchase for awhile, mainly because of the size. I loved the look of the jacket, provided a lot of high end features without looking like a "racer" at a great price. This thing has pockets galore which will come in handy on a long trip. I'm 6'2" and about 175lbs and I ordered a medium, I like things to be fitted. I have really long arms and it fits great, I could maybe use about another 1/2" in sleeve length but it's not a big deal at all. I haven't gotten caught in the rain yet so I can't attest to the waterproof-ness, but overall the quality feels good, the armor is nice, vents are great. Highly recommended! As always, Motorcycle Superstore did a great job with quick (and free) shipping & good prices!

The thermo-stat said 39 on the way to work and I was comfortable wearing this jacket and a pair of Alpinestars winter gloves. Epic win. For me, the medium's sleeves are almost the right length but it's much too large in the chest. At 6'2" and 150 pounds, that's how it always goes. I can cinch it down with the waist straps, though. And it's like $80 cheaper than the Alpinestars Messenger!

Received the jacket as a Christmas gift that I asked for and been using it regularly for the last seven months. It's amazing. I've worn it in cold and raining weather and in the 90+ degree temps the last couple of weeks. It kept me warm and dry in December and provided enough ventilation that it I was comfortable in the summer. Great fit and finish and year-round riding capable. For the price, it's hard to beat. It's not flashy at all, but rather utilitarian and tough. Highly recommend.

Great jacket, especially for under $100! This jacket has kept me warm and dry even down into the low 30s and raining. Love the softer fabric and it fits great. My only complaint is the collar. I don't have a skinny neck so It's strange to me that it is so loose. No issues with drafts or rain getting down my neck yet but I have been wearing a balaclava so we'll see. If the the collar were different I would consider it "The One". Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

I love the jacket so far. I am 5'11", 215 pounds. I bought the 2XL. It is a hair too big but I actually like them a little big. I have ridden in 35 degree weather on the way to work and on an 80 degree yesterday, Worked great in both. I love the chest pockets that turn into vents. Looks great and feels great. Still getting used to the neck collar as I've never used one before and it rubs on me a bit. So far well worth the great price as compared to more expensive stuff I've owned.

I've only used this jacket twice so far. I primarily bought this jacket for cold weather riding. I left my house with a temp of 30 degrees F & was completely warm my entire ride. Wind protection was 1st rate. I also wanted a rain-proof jacket to avoid stopping for rain gear. I haven't tested for rain yet. This seems to be a really well-made jacket & so far I'm extremely satisfied.

Great Jacket for the Price

Not a lot of miles on it yet, but I'm very satisfied (with one exception). It looks good - not an overly M/C look. Seems very well made, but time will tell. My one problem is with the upper arm vents which face forward and have no wind/rain protection. I have yet to wear in rain, but in cold weather the unprotected zipper 'hood', which faces forward, scoops air which comes right in through the coarse zipper. I wore a good wind-proof shell under it to solve this. I'm SURE rain will pour in and haven't figured what I'll do about it yet. It needs to either 1) be positioned differently or 2) have a waterproof flap that really covers it rather than acting as a scoop. The vent will be very useful in warmer weather except in the rain. But for this problem and no time yet to know about durability, I would absolutely rate it a 5.

I am very happy with the Tourmaster Rincon Jacket. It is the best fitting jacket that I have ever owned. It has lots of pockets and a classic look, very much like a Belstaff Trialmaster jacket - but without the fiddly belts. Being oiled cotton, it is not as restrictive or binding as most leather or other textile jackets. It managed to keep me warm while riding on a "naked" bike on the freeway in 50 degree weather while wearing only a T-shirt under the jacket. I think it is a great value and I am looking forward to many years of wearing the Rincon.

Fit is accurate to chart, and it's a very well-made jacket. I've been through rain and cold, and this jacket can handle it all. It has a removeable liner that I haven't even had to put in yet--something that will be great for wintertime riding. The only downside is that in warmer weather, this thing is HOT. Ultimately, it's a great deal for the price.

Excellent for the money.

It's not made as well as my Kilimanjaro, but hey, it's less than half the price. A snap popped off immediately, and the shoulder armor was a nasty sloppy fit (easily fixed with a needle & thread; I just removed the pads). Small disappointments aside, I don't think you could get a better made or better-looking jacket for less than $200. Can't speak to its waterproofness yet: the rains just won't come this year! Some reviewers recommend that you buy smaller than your usual size. Don’t do it!

I wear a size 42 jacket (170 lbs, 6'0") and the medium size fits well as the sizing chart indicates. To date, I have used the jacket a total of about 200 miles, including a few in the rain. For the few miles I rode in the rain the jacked was waterproof as advertised. Overall, I really like the Rincon. It's a great jacket for the price. I ride a naked BMW R100R and at 80mph I did have one issue. I noticed where the jacket liner zips out the zipper remains and it runs down your chest on the front inside of the jacket. At 80mph I noticed this remaining zipper pressing against my chest. Not comfortable, but I fixed that issue with a pair of scissors by cutting away the zipper. I use a Gerbing and don't need the zip in liner anyway. Hey, it bothered me a little to hack away at a brand new jacket, but now I have no issue. Cheers...keep the shiny side up.

Well worth the price

I'm 6'2" 225 lbs. I got the 3X. In a 45 degree, 30 minute ride I was comfortable. Not much venting but unzipping will work fine. Some of the materials (the pockets and by the main zipper) are kind of cheap but for a sub $100 jacket I'm not complaining. The outside of the jacket looks like it'll fair well in inclement weather. Overall, I think the cost benefit is greater then both the Epic and the Transition; which both were returned for this jacket.

I really like the faux waxed cotton feel of the fabric and comfortable fit of this jacket. I have never, to date used the liner and find it to be warm and dry without it. I have ridden in some sleet and fair driving rain and it performed quite well, with one exception. The collar, or lack of one, is a joke. It may look fashionable but doesn't keep the wind out. I purchased this jacket for fall and spring riding in the Pacific Northwest and it seems like the right choice. It won't get much use in the summer due to the weight and limited vents. Overall I am very happy with the purchase but would advise getting a turtleneck to make up for the collar. Kudos to the folks at the MSS for their service and painless return policy.

the look and features made me buy this jacket but i returned do to the size issues. I'm a skinny 170lb 6'3" and the arms came up above my wrists without being in riding position and the neck was huge even for a heavyset person the reviews i read for similar sized people lead me to believe that it would fit. sometimes a good deal isn't a deal.
