Sizing Information:
This jacket is sold in men’s “alpha” sizing. We find this jacket to run true to the manufacturer’s size chart (shown below) which is also consistent with the sizing of other major brands, so you can choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing. You can also measure yourself and use the chart to make sure you are choosing a jacket large enough to accommodate both your chest and waist (if your belly is bigger than your waist use the belly measurement).

The Triton SS jacket is an excellent cold/rainy weather jacket ideal for touring or commuting. It offers an “adventure riding” style that has become popular in recent years, but it is more sporty looking than most. The jacket offers waterproof construction by way of a mid-liner. Use of a mid-liner keeps water out effectively since it can be constructed without any possible leakage spots such as zippers, pockets, etc. The only downside to this type construction is that the mid-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. The vents and pockets include waterproof zippers to further protect you from the rain (to keep water from getting in between the outer shell and the midliner). The removable full-sleeve thermal liner allows you to adjust the amount of insulation used to compensate for varying cold weather temps. The wrist closures, sleeves and waist of this jacket are all adjustable making it easy to get a proper fit. For crash protection this jacket comes with removable CE approved shoulder and elbow armor and a foam back protector.
