A real quality jacket

Very pleased with this wax cotton jacket so far. It feels like a real quality item, from the heavyweight cotton fabric, heavy duty zipper and robust press studs. Four decent sized outer pockets with fold over flap to keep the rain out and inner pocket ideal for phone. Haven't needed the inner lining yet but it fits well when I tried it and secures with a full zip and inner cuffs. The collar fastening is simple and comfortable. Elbow and shoulder pads supplied are comfortable and not too obtrusive. I'll be wearing this off the bike as well as on it. Very happy with my choice and Sportsbikeshop delivered straightaway.

Decent boot

Start with the delivery - bang on, next day as promised, full marks to the Sportsbikeshop team for that. Now for the boot itself - nice! I'm a bike instructor, so I'm out in all weathers and spend as much time walking around the training ground as I do on the bike, finding a boot that can handle that combination has proved challenging to say the least. The Keele has so far been: Comfortable (half a size up on my normal shoe size, as usual) Robust - the leather seems like good quality hide, thick enough yet supple, with a chunky hard wearing sole/heel Weatherproof (so far, this is Scotland!) - we've had a couple of days recently with monsoon-like wet stuff, 9 hours splashing through puddles on foot and on the bike with not a single damp spot in my tootsies. Gave them a wipe down when I got home and a good going-over with some quality dubbing/polish and they're good to go again. For the price I'd say they're pretty much perfect.

Great value

Exceptional value for money. Good fit, feels heavy but not when wearing it. Loads of pockets and features. Collar on first ride slightly scratchy, but OK now. If it lasts well and the quality looks as though it will it will have been a very good purchase.
