Teknic Stinger Textile Jacket

The Stinger jacket is a 2/3 length jacket that offers the features you would find in any of the best touring jackets, but is now being offered at an excellent closeout price. This jacket will work great for touring riders and commuters alike. There are a lot of practical climate control and convenience features, let’s start with climate control… There are large 10” zippered arm vents and a large rear exhaust vent that can be opened in warmer conditions to let some air blow through the outer shell. The jacket offers waterproof construction by way of a waterproof/breathable inside liner. Use of a liner keeps water out effectively but the shell material of the jacket gets wet. Although the zippered venting is extensive the inside liner won’t allow free flow of air all the way through the jacket to your skin so the overall effectiveness of the vents is moderate. Therefore, we recommend this jacket for cold to warm weather, but not hot weather. For cooler weather, a full sleeve insulated liner is included making this jacket suitable for use in cold temperatures. One neat feature I should comment on is the built in pouch that allows the liner to pack up into a fanny pack for easy storage when not in use. Speaking of storage, this jacket has a lot of it. There are two front cargo pockets, one large chest pocket and two front hand warmer pockets. This jacket also offers quality protection. The shoulders and elbows are equipped with removable CE approved armor, and a removable CE approved backpad is also included. For comfort, the jacket has adjustable sleeves, wrist closures and an adjustable waist. There is reflective piping that runs across the back of the jacket for increased nighttime visibility.
