I’ve always said the best jacket is the one you don’t realize you have on. Women’s riding jackets have many pitfalls when it comes to fit and function, such as bulky collars, restrictive fit, awkward cut in the chest or arms, lack of protection, and lack of adjustability. Normally I can find at least one of these problems in each of the many jackets I’ve worn, but not so with Speed and Strength’s To The Nines Textile Jacket.

We also included something every rider should have—a set of auxiliary riding lights from Motolight.

Here’s one of those products that I think is a great idea if it’s done right.
