Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
I have one and it is fantastic, dry, warm and all the pockets for nic-naks you could ask for. I am 6'3" and the sleeves are long enough for a change and the body is fairly slim fit so I don't look like a bell (XL)
All the other owners I have met with them think the same as far as I can see.

Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
I have one and it is better than any motorcycle jacket i have used previously in open top cars. Definately dry and warm.
Longest journey was from Huddersfield to Luton and back. 360 miles total in sunny, dry, light rain, heavy rain and windy weather all in the same day. Handled it all very well. Now i don't leave home without it. A bit warm for summer trackdays though.

Nope I think the sleeves are too short and am waiting for them to make a batch of bigger ones.
The mrs has one which fits here well and has been tested in various weather conditions. The red ones are also ideal for fans of Michael Jackson circa Thriller

Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
I can't really comment objectively on the efficacy, since I played a significant role in the creation of an Ariel jacket, but I can say that it represents amazing value for money.
I really don't know how Ariel have produced a jacket that good at that rrp... I certainly couldn't have.

Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
I really like the black one, the problem for me is I like to try them on to ensure the correct size, especially with something like this, too big or too small could make it difficult for driving?
Guess I will have to wait until I eventually go to the factory.............. Unless there is another way?

Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
Agreed on good to try - I did and it wasn't very comfortable though know several folk love the fit - rather suggests (surprise surprise)atom drivers are different shapes not just sizes
Re: The ARIEL Jacket anyone have one
I agree when not in the car it is quite bulky when zipped up and you get the feeling it won't be very comfortable in the car but once you start driving all is forgotten.

Come to the AAOC Christmas Party and try mine on?
Buy one and send it back if it's the wrong size and get another?
Seriously though it's ages since i've seen you Glyn so can't really remember how big you are - from rough memory an XL would probably be OK; I wear XXL....

Is that your dress code suggestion Tom ?!
I think they're great in black too - a real mobile duvet, but found I had to go for the XL to get the arms long enough.
==> Plenty of room for a fleece under
