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.

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.
