Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
I tried 7 different 'summer' jackets on at SBS from different manufacturers and 5 of them had arms that were more suited for a gorilla, god knows who these are modelled on. Eventually I found this one 'off the peg' in the showroom (just my luck it was almost twice the price of the others) and as soon as I put it on you could tell the difference in quality and fit. It allows a fair amount of air through which was more noticeable in the arms and the goatskin leather is really soft. It also comes with a back protector which is removable. So far I am really liking this jacket and the arms are just about the right length (and adjustable straps for a tighter fit). Expensive .. Yes ..but to be honest it is worth the extra money.
There are moments when you pick something up and are truly impressed by the craftsmanship and the thoughtful details that make you think, « I want everything I own to be like this from now on. » This is exactly what this jacket made me realize. It’s incredibly light, offers excellent protection, and the pockets are strategically placed. While it’s not inexpensive, if you find it at a good price, it’s a fantastic buy.
