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...
It's a great jacket for casual rides and it's extremely affordable. However, a few things need to be mentioned:
1.( as others mentioned ) There isn't really a pocket for a back protector but just a panel of a fabric with velcro on it. I tried to attach so many different back protectors to that panel but nothing works and the protector slips to the bottom of the jacket. This would need to be improved for sure.
2. Definitely not waterproof! I got soaked through after less than 30 mins. ( including the thermal layer) making the ride incredibly uncomfortable and cold. Had to change the clothes underneath as those got wet and then also put a waterproof jacket over! A bit disappointing.
3. Belt buckle has poor design and the buckle doesn't stay in place so it moves as soon as you sit down and opens/loosens the belt.
As it's a longer jacket it would definitely benefit from a two way open ended zip so the zipper can be opened slightly from the bottom especially when sitting.
I would recommend checking the measurements cause I had to 2x size up!
Excellent quality. Comfy fit. Love the fact it can also be worn as a casual jacket. Not yet tested the waterproof aspect!
Wife bought this jacket as a light weight summer addition to her biking wardrobe. The jacket itself is great, really well made and true to fit and very comfy. The only slight issue is with the back protector purchased separately(Oxford ce2). There is no pocket for the protector so it is purely held in place by a strip of velcro which although grips well allows it to move around a lot. My wife said it wasn't uncomfy but I would have preferred a proper pocket/sleeve to put it in as our other jackets have. Still a nice looking jacket though. Excellent service by SBS as usual.
