Cortech by Tour Master Impulse II Leather Jacket
Sizing Information:
The overall fit of this jacket will work for the “average build”, so choose a size based upon what you usually wear in men’s jackets/shirts. Cortech marks the various size jackets with the following chest sizes:
| XS | 38 |
| Small | 40 |
| Medium | 42 |
| Large | 44 |
| XL | 46 |
| XXL | 48 |
| XXXL | 50 |
These chest sizes seem appropriate, so you can use your suit coat size or chest measurement to double check. You’ll want to check your belly also and make sure that your belly does not exceed 4” less than the chest size above (example, XL/46 will handle a max belly of about 42”).
The Impulse II jacket has a very nice fit and has a great sporty look all at a very competitive price. The heavy leather combined with the very substantial GP type armor should provide excellent crash protection. This jacket is partially vented in front with perforated panels on the torso and sleeves and has shoulder air scoops to send some flow down your back as well. These venting features will keep you comfortable from mild temperatures to pretty warm temperatures. And when it gets colder you can utilize the full sleeve thermal liner which will block some of the air from entering the jacket and give you some insulation against the cold as well. The thermal liner has zip off sleeves, so you can use just the vest part or the liner with full sleeves depending upon the weather. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see some good shots of the liner and the jacket’s other features. The jacket comes with a full circumference zipper and a short rear zipper to attach the jacket to any of Tour Master’s leather pants. The Apex pants would be a good choice for sport riding or even amateur racing while the Decker pants would work better for street riding and commuting.
