temperatures rose to the high 30s. It has fared very well on Tasmania’s dirt tracks and a good shake at the end of the day, leaves the jacket clean again. It wouldn’t be warm enough for an English winter, but I shall certainly take it home with me for summer wear. Nobody will recognise me! Oh ... did I mention the beautiful rich red lining? I have also subscribed to the Gigi Montrose website which is full of good news and stories about women riders. Thank you, Gigi Montrose. The Speed jacket retails for around AU$660.00 (US$475.00 or GBP360.00) Available in five sizes from extra small to extra large. See www.gigimontrose.com for more details and the complete range. Jacqui Furneaux is a world traveller of note having written the outstanding book Hit The Road, Jac! about her 7 year ride around the world on her trusty Royal Enfield Bullet 500. As a long distance traveller Jacqui has a need for biking gear that is not only functional but can also stand up to the tests of travel while maintaining a level of style that can be used in areas not associated with riding. Her experience in this area is second to none, who better to review female specific riding gear? Jacqui's book, Hit The Road, Jac! is available at Amazon, Kindle and Audible and is published in the USA by Road Dog Publications. More information on Jacqui's travels can be found at www.jacquifurneaux.com where the book is also available. NEWS MAGAZINE 112 TRAVERSE 112
