The Kathmandu Textile jacket is a 3/4 length jacket for street and touring riders. It is one of FirstGear’s top of the line textile jackets made with a HYPERTEX waterproof and breathable outer shell and high quality nylon for extra durability. The overall construction is made from a water/windproof, breathable shell that will keep air circulating for comfort. There are large intake vents in the chest and the underarms, and an over-sized rear exhaust vent to increase airflow on warmer days. All of the zippers are waterproof and all outer pockets are envelope style so that a waterproof flap will keep cargo dry. There is a rain hood in the collar that is designed to fit under your helmet to keep the water out. The jacket comes with a nice full-sleeve, thermal liner that can be removed on warmer days. A 1.5 liter hydration bladder with a removable backpack is also included to help keep you cool and hydrated on warm days.
