Our Two Cents
The Sonora Air 2.0 jacket from Tour Master is a full 3/4 length full-mesh jacket aimed at those who want the longer torso length often bought by touring riders and commuter in a jacket that will flow a lot of air and be comfortable in summer months.
The body of this jacket is largely full mesh material that will freely flow air and keep you comfortable in hot weather. The jacket has sold textile reinforcements in the shoulders and elbows to a some structure to the jacket (which helps with armor placement) and to give better abrasion resistance in case of a fall.
But this is not just a jacket for hot weather because it has a “two stage” removable liner included. The first state is a full-waterproof liner which will keep water out when it rains and also can act as a wind barrier to stop the wind flow that moves through the outer shell. The wind barrier will help in cooler temps such as cool mornings or elevation changes when you are in the mountains. The final stage is a vest-type thermal liner that can zip into the jacket with or without the rain liner. it is a vest only but will add a layer of insulation to help with even colder temps. Personally, I’d bet you’ll want to use the thermal liner along with the rain/wind liner. Just by itself, it could provide a bit of help with colder weather, but being just a vest, it won’t do a lot. Anyway, the options are open to you. Generally speaking, I’d say this jacket is a three season unit… summer, some spring and some fall, but not winter.
Folks who buy a jacket like this usually like plenty of storage. With this jacket you get a pair of combo cargo/hand warmer pockets down low on the front and two more zip pockets up on the chest and there is also a fanny pouch in back, and three storage pockets of different configurations on the inside. The pocket configuration is the same whether you are using the thermal liner or not which is a handy setup.
Finding a full mesh jacket in a touring style is a relative rarity and this looks like a good one. Its well made a has sharp styling and I think these are a good value. :: Paul, 12-261-17
Back pad upgrade: Tour Master’s standard back pad in this jacket is just standard fare… kind of thin and not CE approved (one of the few nits I have to pick with this jacket). Those who want a CE approved back pad should check out the D3O brand of aftermarket back pads as a replacement of the stock unit. If you are unsure about the need for an upgrade you should order the jacket and then evaluate for yourself the need for an upgrade.
