ADVENTURE JACKETS
Adventure jackets built for New Zealand touring, where you can ride through four seasons before lunch. The Fox Ranger, Defend and Recon Gore-Tex adventure jackets and the Dainese D-Explorer 2 Gore-Tex are the laminated, fully waterproof options, the Richa Infinity 2, RST Adventure 3 and Ixon Cross Air 2.0 give you removable liners and big vents for mixed conditions, and the Leatt 4.5 and 5.5 Enduro and 6.5 HydraDri jackets lean towards off-road and rally riding.
A laminated shell (Gore-Tex or HydraDri) keeps the outer fabric from soaking up water and is worth the extra money if you ride in rain often; a drop-liner jacket is lighter and cheaper for mostly dry riding. Most of these jackets pair with matching adventure pants, and all ship from our NZ warehouse with free shipping over $149. See also enduro and rain jackets, adventure helmets and adventure tyres.
