A very good retro style jacket
01 May 2025 by Peter H
Having just bought a new modern classic bike, I wanted a new jacket to go with it. This was just what I was looking for. I wanted a shorter style in waxed cotton, with shoulder and elbow protection ( I also bought a back protector), enough pockets and removable thermal lining. This jacket has all of the above. In terms of size, I'm a 43-44 inch chest, but had to go up to a 2XL to get the right fit. Initially sleeves felt slightly long, but once on the bike, the length is spot on. This is now my favourite jacket.

Great quality and fit

Bought to replace the Hardy v1.0 and the improvements have really made a difference. The only slight downside is the cuffs are now a single press stud, so not sure how they claim it's adjustable. The original had 2 which was perfect. Despite that slight niggle, it's great all-round jacket and super service from SportsBikehop as always

Feels really substantial. Comfortable and well padded. Not a huge deal of ventilation for summer but it will certainly keep you warm the rest of the year
