FirstGear Kenya Air Mesh Jacket

You can consult sizing information from FirstGear to choose a size based upon your height and weight and also considering the sizes you normally wear in men’s clothing. Tall sizes: FirstGear offers this jacket in talls, which provides a rarely found option for tall people. The body and sleeves of the jackets are 1 1/2 to 2 inches taller than the “standard” cut jackets. If you normally have to buy “talls” then these should work for you.

The Kenya Air offers a hot weather alternative for those who want some convenience features for touring and commuting. FirstGear’s cargo storage system (offered on some FG touring jackets), is included on this jacket. It consists of two large cleverly designed storage pockets on the front chest of the jacket. Inside these pockets are individual pockets for storage of the various items you’ll want to take with you on the road (take the “View Larger Pictures” link above for some good close-up pics). A good portion of the body and sleeves of the jacket is “free air” nylon material that will allow the wind to blow through freely. Also, at the ends of each sleeve are two way zippers that act as additional air vents, so consider this jacket for mild to hot weather use primarily. To help you in a rain shower and to provide some wind break on cool mornings, the jacket comes with its own rain jacket which stores neatly in a rear fanny pocket. Four Core-Comp armor pieces are included for the shoulders and elbows as well as an EVA foam back pad.
