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...
Excellent jacket. Bought for a European trip. 2000 plus miles travelled and really comfortable the whole trip. Add a wind blocker underneath in cooler weather and a waterproof over the top when it rains and it’s the perfect touring jacket.
Couple of caveats; I have replaced the armour with d30 ghost in the elbows and shoulders which I find more comfortable.
No back protector supplied.
No loops to connect to trousers although that doesn’t bother me personally.
I bought the jacket as I was going to Portugal for a couple of weeks. As it turned out Portugal had record breaking high temperatures (40 degrees) and I got caught up in this. Although it's hard to stay cool when it's this hot on a fully faired Goldwing I was very impressed at the ventilation and air flow through the jacket. I had to go up a size to get the right fit and the cuffs on the arms are in between large enough to fit a glove under the sleeve and small enough to fit a glove over the sleeve. I was wearing vented short cuffed gloves so maybe this would be just an issue for me. I liked the popper to fasten on the the neck rather than the velcro "norm", I used this with the RST D3O Viper Air CE Level 2 Back Protector.
Was searching for a summer jacket and by chance seen this one, perfect fit, I went for a medium, air flow is excellent, first ride out was yesterday in 26 degrees, looks, and feels great.
This is an ideal summer mesh jacket and would work great with a thermal inner or waterproof outer as part of an all seasons 3 layer combo. I purchased the optional D30 back protector and found the fit to be perfect.
This jacket is great value, cool for the summer month. Great sizing and is very comfortable around Best Buy of the last year to be fair
Nice fitting jacket lots of air comes through seems well made
I'm very happy with this Jacket. In the future I would buy a lighter colour as this still gets pretty hot in the sun but when I'm riding it feels great with all the ventilation. I'm surprised it's only A rated but I'm okay with that. I added a back protection to it.
