READY FOR THE ROAD

Made for moto touring and adventure riding, Filson’s drop-tail, fully insulated, waxed cotton canvas Alcan Quilted Jacket blends modern materials with throwback James Dean attitude. Its rash-resistant canvas is overlaid with ballistic Cordura nylon for durability. The rugged exterior is softened a bit by cotton moleskin pockets that warm hands and won’t scratch glasses, plus sleeves with rib-knit cuffs that keep the weather out when paired with gloves. $450; filson.com

Tech for the Tour: Different fabrics welded for different body zones (like a more breathable back and armpits designed for use with packs) favor the demands of dawn patrol.
