Great jacket for price.

Jacket has a good feel, added back protector from previous jacket. Good pockets. May seem heavy, but gives that confidence of feeling protected. Bought after a try before buy at Glasgow branch for an Alpine stars , which was small. Good help from staff, allowed settling for this one, no regrets.

Fairly decent biker jacket.
20 June 2025 by George
I like this jacket, it fits well and is pretty good looking. A good starter jacket, or for a nip out to the local shop. It has level 1 protection in the shoulders and elbows making it a bit lighter than jackets with level 2. There is back armour slot in the inner back of the jacket. My only negative really is the lack of mesh vents for cooling. There are only front and rear shoulder vents. But an excellent jacket for the price and I would definitely recommend.

As a new rider I did not want to spend much money on a jacket but new I needed good protection. I googled and watched YouTube on what jacket had the best protection for the lowest price and this came on top everyone time.

Really helpful and friendly staff at Sports Bike Shop, kitted me out with my first riding gear showing me the ropes. Jacket is constructed to a high quality and offers protection where needed with the safety benefit of reflective strips. It is also adjustable where it feeds to be to ensure the owner has maximum usage for longevity.

Very warm, good quality materials

This is a really warm jacket, even with the thermal liner removed. If anything it can get too hot in anything above moderate temperatures quite quickly, although it's vented the air flow is negligible with them open. Not worn in heavy rain but seems to keep me dry. Velcro is a bit of a pain on the cuffs as it's always catching things, but appreciate it on the pockets.

Great Value for Money

Bought as a summer/autumn jacket - great quality and sizing seems bang on.
Bought the recommended back protector for £17.
Only slight criticism is the common one - sleeves seem very long.
