Description
Introducing the Hartwell as a mid-length CE AAA-rated tech wax riding jacket, tailored specifically for women. Built from Scottish Halley Stevensons tech wax (Cotec), it combines the timeless character of waxed cotton with modern performance, delivering lightweight strength and dependable weather protection.
Designed with a women's-specific fit, the Hartwell is shaped to move naturally with the rider, offering a more refined silhouette without compromising on comfort or protection. The mid-length cut provides balanced coverage on and off the bike, making it equally suited to longer rides and everyday wear. Beneath, the outer, reinforced zones enhance durability and rider safety, while a highly rated Texland Humax membrane ensures reliable waterproofing when conditions change.
A removable full body thermal liner offers warmth through colder months, easily detached as temperatures rise, with multiple ventilation points allowing airflow when needed. Inside, British Marton Mills tartan adds a subtle heritage detail to a thoroughly modern jacket.
As a complete riding solution, the Hartwell comes equipped with five pieces of D3O armour pre-fitted and includes chest armour pockets, allowing protection to be increased to a full seven-piece set.
Thoughtful finishing details complete the design, including magnetic front closures for ease of use, an internal sunglasses pocket, and a three-point belt system for a secure, tailored fit on the bike.
