VULCAIN BOMBER

Furygan’s three-in-one jacket’s been around for a while now but that doesn’t detract from the fact that it’s a well thought out touring jacket. The outer shell is a combination of three different grades of polyester that’s combined with Furygan’s own Skin Protect lining to offer maximum abrasion resistance. There is D3O protection in the elbows and shoulder with an additional back protector pocket. Warmth is catered for by a thermal liner while a lightweight membrane keeps damp at bay.

Our test jacket’s been subjected to everything from torrential rain in the Pyrenees to ultra high temperatures in Vietnam and emerged with flying colours. Although the vents are largely ineffective with the linings in place, once worn as a shell the jacket comes into its own. Unusually its vents run along the entire sleeve length, creating a very welcome breeze. In colder climes the thermal liner does exactly as promised, in fact this is a very warm jacket.

Although the outer shell can only take moderate rain showers the waterproof liner never failed and the waterproof pocket successfully kept an iPhone out of harm’s way. The only point of note is that the vent zips have very fine teeth and although these are excellent at keeping out water they can become clogged with dust.

Overall this is an excellent jacket with a host of features that usually command a much higher price.
