Tourmaster Mariner Waterproof Motorcycle Jacket

The Tourmaster Mariner Waterproof Motorcycle Jacket has garnered mixed reviews from customers, reflecting a blend of satisfaction and frustration. Many owners appreciate the jacket's warmth and comfort, particularly during cold weather, with several mentioning its ability to keep them warm even in harsh temperatures. The jacket's heavy Construction is praised while also noted to be a bit cumbersome for some. However, fit seems to be a significant pain point, with various riders struggling to find the right size that balances comfort and practicality. Instances of sizing confusion leading to returns have been reported, highlighting the jacket’s tendency to run larger than expected. Waterproofing seems to be a major concern for many users. A number of riders experienced leaks during light rain, significantly undermining the jacket's intended purpose. Although the jacket includes features like CE2 armor and adjustable vents, some users have pointed out design flaws that impact usability. For instance, issues with Velcro locations and the design of pockets were frequently mentioned; pockets proved difficult to access, especially due to aggressive Velcro and snap malfunctions. Despite these drawbacks, the jacket offers a comfortable riding experience, with sufficient ventilation for warmer weather, as long as the inner liner is removed. However, the lack of effective waterproofing has led some customers to question the overall value of the jacket, especially given the premium price point. In conclusion, while the Tourmaster Mariner Jacket has its strong suits, notably warmth and comfort for cold-weather riding, potential buyers should keep in mind the sizing issues and concerns regarding waterproofing. It may be worthwhile for riders to try the jacket in-store or be cautious of sizing when ordering online. **
