I just purchased the triumph expedition boots and the hard carbon gloves. They fit and feel real nice and also purchased the triumph urban leather jacket last year which one of the snaps broke already. what is your opinion of these products?

I have the Triumph Expedition jacket and wore it all last winter. It is a great jacket, very warm, wears extremely well. I don't use the zip out liner unless the temp is below 50 degrees F. I used a Triumph vented Raptor jacket all summer long; very satisfied with it. I also have the vented Raptor pants.

I have the boots and so far they have been great.

Comfortable enough to walk around in and I haven't had a bit of water in them yet. Not the greatest protection but they are "touring" boots not "sport" boots I guess.

I have lots of Triumph clothing and consider it to be well designed and offers good value for money.You won't get better value for money in my opinion.

Glad to hear the confidence about to order a jacket.

I have a variety of Triumph kit and find it all top quality. The Exopedition boots are great, though I agree they're not racing boots. They seem a little on the narrow side, maybe Italian made for the average Italian foot?

Some of their very latest stuff doesn't seem to my uneducated eye to have the same level of quality as the earlier. For example, leather panels have raw edges rather than rolled, and the leather itself feels thinner and lower quality. But maybe this doesn't apply to all Triumph's new stuff, just some of it.

I've got the hard carbon gloves and am very pleased. I also wear the Tritech boots and am quite happy.
