Fantastic Jacket, fantastic customer service
07 May 2025 by Magpie
This jacket is good in many ways, ideal in hot weather, bought for a trip to Spain/ Portugal in September. Looks the business, especially for retro bikes, had to go up a size to get the best fit, comes with a waterproof liner which helps in the UK. Well vented, matching trousers next.
Fantastic customer service from Sally on the first jacket being damaged by the manufacturer, quick response and free returns. Excellent service as usual from Sportsbikeshop.

Description
The Shenstone II is a versatile jacket for both wet and hot rides. For those wet rides, a highly waterproof and breathable 15k/10k membrane lining works to keep the rider dry. Then for those dry and warm days, detach the lining and the technical waxed cotton upper which has been combined with large air mesh ventilation panels, provide maximum airflow. Shenstone II has lots of fit adjustment, subtle branding, and many usable pockets. To top it off, 5 pieces of D3O® armour is pre-fitted. Improvements over the original include the spec of lining, armour fit against the arms, larger mesh panels, a fold back collar hoop and even better refinement in the overall quality of fit and finish.
