Held Lupo Touring Textile Jacket - Black / White

Even though being generous in ordering the size of this jacket it was so small it wouldn't, zip up. More and more I am becoming aware that the sizes from different countries vary so much.

Nice jacket at a decent price, Good quality, looks like a more expensive jacket than it actually was. Only downside was it doesn't come with a back protector fitted

After having issues with two cheaper Richa jackets I decided to spend a bit more and try this. I've not been disappointed. The jacket is much higher quality and the the way it has been put together is clearly superior to the Richa article. The Richa jackets were both weak around the area where the zip was sewn to the fabric with not enough being fabric left if there is any pull. This area is double reinforced on the Held jacket. The fit is extremely good. The armour doesn't move around too much and everything feels secure. The lining is also very good and both the inside of the jacket and lining have useful sized mobile phone pouches. It's not perfect however despite being well worth the money. The jacket is a little short for my taste and there is no zip to attach your trousers to the jacket. Even so, I am a Held convert and will be looking at their products closely in the future when more purchases are needed.
