I’ve been using my BMW AirFlow-2 Jacket for approximately 4000 miles now and have the following critique:
Not many Europeans or North Americans will go for this jacket since the high cost of the garment and relatively short summers make it a low priority.
Here on the continent of perpetual summer it is the most frequently worn gear in my ensemble.
The ventilation is superb and can turn blistering heat when standing still into merely warm air when riding. According to a website I once encountered (forgot which) it was rated the safest “cool” jacket on the market.
Fortunately I have not had the opportunity to test its ability to protect skin and bones but the materials used certainly look up to the job.
Mine’s cut is a little disappointing and it tends to hang like a sack when I strut my stuff – perhaps I merely need to visit the gym…
Obviously it cannot be used in the wet unless you like doing your showering and riding at the same time. It does however keep the dust out.
--- damn, this post sounds very gay...
