Fieldsheer Aqua Tour Textile Jacket

This jacket is sold in men’s “alpha” jacket sizing so you can choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing. To choose a size based upon measurements, please have a look at Fieldsheer’s sizing charts. We feel the sizing chart is a good representation of how this item fits.

The Aqua Tour Textile Jacket is aimed at those who want a fully functional, waterproof, 3/4 length touring jacket at a very good value. This jacket offers a built in waterproof lining that should effectively keep out water. The lining’s seams are taped so it should be as effective as a rain jacket at keeping water off your clothing underneath. Of course there is always the possibility of water entering through the cuffs or collar, but otherwise, this jacket should work well. The outer shell of this jacket is typical ballistic nylon material. For those that commute or tour, this jacket includes tons of pockets. We’ve taken pictures of all the storage on the jacket, so be sure and look at our photo gallery. For protection, you get a CE rated set of armor for the shoulders and elbows. The back protector is a simple thin foam type. Sleeve adjusters are included to help secure the armor in position. The jacket has zippered venting to admit some air, but keep in mind that air will not pass through the waterproof inner liner. The cooling air will help, but it won’t be as good as with a jacket that allows the air from zippered vents to pass all the way through to your skin. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend this jacket for very warm weather use. However, it should work quite well in colder weather. The jacket comes with a full sleeve removable thermal liner which seems to be better than most you would find in a jacket in this price range.
