Tour Master Transition 5 Jacket Review
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/t...
Building on the success of its predecessors, the Tour Master Transition 5 Jacket offers all-weather wearability at a fraction of the price of some of its contemporaries. The outer shell of the Transition 5 Jacket is constructed of 600D Carbolex polyester (with 1680D ballistic polyester reinforcements in high-impact areas) and makes use of a strategic set up of intake and exhaust vents to amplify air movement throughout. Additionally, as all riding isn’t warm weather riding, the Tour Master Transition 5 includes a waterproof Raingaurd liner, removable thermal liner, and CE-approved Armadillo armor at the shoulders and elbows.

I do truly enjoy RevZilla as a company to purchase items from, the service is top knotch, and the pricing is pretty competitive. My gripe, more of a "constructive criticism", is that your videos tend to say the same pieces of information over and over within the same product review. Please take a look at the RevZilla product videos over the past few years, and you will take note of that one glaring issue.

I think you have to do this one over. I didn't hear a word of it as I was distracted by that snap on the right shoulder set to a different position from the left one.

I have an old, old, old version of the transition. It's not pleasant in the summer. Whew. But I burn up. It was 42 this morning and I'm still in mesh.

I wore out a Transition 3 and purchased a 5. One downgrade was the key pocket on the left arm. It was quite a bit bigger on the 3 than the 5.

How do I get the job of the guy on the right? I’m very good at standing around and looking beautiful!

I watched all the Tourmaster reviews and bought a new Transition jacket. No flap pockets to put my gloves. I thought I may have gotten a factory second mistake. Nope, if you go to the Helmet House website the picture of the Transition does not have flap pockets. Buyer beware!

I've been rocking a Transition 3 jacket and I really like the look of the 5. After trying it on I was convinced they did much to improve it. But...
I ended up buying the 2021 version 6 that just came out. I really would like to see your review of the new jacket. I myself am not impressed, feeling that it's been downgraded to cut costs. The venting is not very useful, the zippers are tiny and useless with gloves on, too small for zipper pulls even. I used it in the mid 70's with the all the vents open and it was bearable, but got a bit clammy inside. Without the Reissa liner and in the low 50's I could feel the chill through the jacket. The 3 is much better and I'm totally comfortable into the high 30's - low 40's. The new jacket's thermal liner is much thinner and has a whole in it so you can reach the inside pocket, necessary because they eliminated the napoleon pocket. I'm returning it and hoping to find the series 5 in a large somewhere.

Ralph, I am just about ordering the new Transition and after reading yours, now I am not sure !!! So, better to order the 5 then????

@@alp3781 If you can find it in your size, I think the 5 is a better jacket.

@@alp3781 Chaparral Motorsports and Cycle Gear are my local stores and both were out of my size, that's why I bought the new model. I hope you get one, they're great jackets.

@@ralpht1965 I will keep searching for the 5. Thanks for the input.

I hope Tour Master updated the velcro on this jacket. The stuff on the Transition 4 is pure trash, and the snaps on the forearms and biceps aren't very good either.
