    Hi Guys,

    Looking at a textile jacket since the colder weather is coming. Looking at the Triumph Drift Jacket, was just wondering if anyone has one and what do they think of it? Can’t find much reviews online.

    Looking at the Triumph Drift, furygan Titan Evo or furygan blast jackets.

    Cheers Folks

    Not personally, although I have had a Triumph Adventure textile jacket for about three years now. Triumph gear seems to be well made and durable. It's warmer than my Spada textile but like all textiles, unless its Goretex it won't be waterproof!
    Best if you can try on and compare a few - look at fastenings - zips should be chunky and easy to use not fiddly and a pain! Check out other fastenings - press studs or velcro (sometimes annoying as it can catch on other parts of the jacket).
    If you go the Triumph route, check out Total Triumph Taunton - they seem to have clothing sales at random times. My jacket was £75 instead of £275.00 so worth a look!

    I've never had any Triumph jackets, I have a Furygan Titan but if you get caught in a prolonged downpour it's not waterproof, also the main zip is not great, I had to return it after a couple of months for a replacement as the zip broke... apart from that it's a good jacket!!

    Ah perfect Stuart, will have a look on there. I have found one for £112 looks decent. Got a Triumph Leather jacket which is good like.

    Local triumph dealer doesn’t have any to try on just look pretty decent and reasonable for the money.

    Cheers for the info Dougie, I did here the Titan isn’t fully waterproof but haven’t heard much about the Titan Evo whether these faults have been corrected in the newer version.

    Do check the zips on Triumph jackets carefully, I have three and zips have either failed (the long bit you grip with your fingers snaps in half) sooner on later on all three
    I use zip extensions that clip on, bought them off Amazon
    Triumph stuff is good, just the zips are a bit of a weak point from my experience

    Funny enough this happened on my leather jacket main zip, so I just use a carribeana through the snapped bit.
