Kilimanjaro Jacket by First Gear
by J. Rex Brown

Now in its fourth generation, the Kilimanjaro continues to be one of the best selling textile touring jackets on the market. And it's no wonder- you get affordable protection in a 3/4 length jacket that's as versatile as a Swiss army knife.

Firstgear Kilimanjaro 4.0 Jacket

available in black, blue, grey
and yellow

100% waterproof, the Kilimanjaro is made from 330 Denier Hypertex with a Sheltex membrane (whatever that means). Protection is provided by CE approved armor. The main zipper is a "two way" design so you can raise it at the bottom when seated on your bike. An outer flap covers the zipper to keep out the elements.

The removable fleece liner can be worn separately without looking like you're wearing a jacket liner. Once the liner is removed, the mesh interior allows airflow when the vents are open. The exterior vents are well sorted, and the rear one even has a flap to keep water out.

Tall riders will appreciate the extra 1 ½" to 2" the tall sizes provide. Fair weather riders who don't plan on riding in the dead of winter might prefer the Kilimanjaro Air version which is fully-ventilated but doesn't offer as much cargo space. All versions of the Kilimanjaro are available in tall and women's sizes.
