BMW ProSummer X-Trafit Gloves

The Latitude will be a little on the warm side in hot weather.
I have the Latitude and Debbie has the women's version.
We really like the gear but it could use better venting for hot weather.
It doesn't have as many vents as say the Badlands.

Thanks for the insights.

Do you guys have the newer version that came out in Spring 2018? They apparently redesigned the venting to be at the armpits, forearms, and also the vertical chest vents (which I presently use as pockets). The jacket has exit vents at the lower back. Each leg of the pants has a vertical vent and an exit port on the hamstring.

This reviewer said "...the thigh vents could be improved. They are in line with the wind flow and too far up on the thigh. I would prefer them farther towards the knee for more vented area and facing the wind to catch more air. Also, the shoulder vents are covered when the fabric bunches up as you reach for the handlebars, blocking much of their venting."

Our biggest complaint is the cuffs do not open as much as our other jackets to allow air up the sleeves.
Your jacket has the little hooks to hold the collar open which will help.
It will also help that your gear is grey compared to our black.

I may not have the cuff problem as it seems that my cuffs are plenty large - maybe too large. I have a large size jacket which is a tad baggy (except for around the gut ) so the cuffs will fit easily over my summer gloves.

Haven't used the collar hooks yet but I can see how that will help big time. On my recently concluded 4 day mini-tour to Arkansas, I had wind going down my closer collar enough to have to put on the Storm Collar to stop it. I can only imagine the increase in airflow with the collar hooked open.

We have the previous generation with similar vents as the new jackets.
My jacket has 6 ports like yours but my arm vents are up by the biceps and yours are on the forearm.
I would like to see the same wet suit zippers with no flap over the vent so they catch the air better.
Venting on the pants is ok on ours.

I don't put anything valuable in the two chest pockets. It's too easy to think you opened the chest vents going down the road, then find out you opened the pockets.
