Smart jacket

Looks more expensive than it is, fits well. Most of the jackets I tried on came up very short, this one didn't, so maybe a wee bit longer. I didn't want a heavily armoured jacket, this one will fit the bill and a good price too.

This is number 2 of these jackets I've purchased. They are well made, fit well, true to size and incredibly wind and waterproof. You do not need to be spending £100's on a solid, safe, warm, well constructed Motorcycle jacket. If I had any gripe. Velcro is well strong!! Sometimes it's a battle of wits opening a pocket!!

This jacket is amazing. It's so comfortable and warm it is actually waterproof unlike other products that aren't waterproof when they say they are. I would 100 percent recommend this jacket to all that's interested

Poor velcro

The cuff Velcro has lost its grab making them difficult to tuck into gloves. Could have done with zips of poppers.

For the money, doubt it will be beaten. My only gripe I don't like the flared cuffs. But I work with what I can afford!!

Rst clothing just fits perfectly. The arm length is a bit long but that’s perfect for me unless you have short arms. This could be my go to jacket every ride. Lovely and warm lots of pockets.

Good jacket for price. Only critique would be I would prefer zipper at sleeves as well as Velcro. But other than that very good jacket good size and keeps you warm and dry.

Got this in the Sumner sales for a ridiculous price! Now Summer is over and we are in to autumn I've started using it. BRILLIANT!! Warm, fluorescent stripes show well, fits well, is toasty warm! Most importantly it feels like a safe jacket. All the armour is in the right place and the jacket itself feels substantial. Highly recommended!!

Good price, good feel. Super thick and warm . Waterproof as well. Feel like your in a bomb squad wearing this as it s quite a big jacket but it protects you from the elements very well.

I have short arms and a big gut so this does not help, but it is not enough to hinder the riding experience. Warm jacket, I have had the inner lining removed as it has not been needed yet. Had a little experience in rain and it was waterproof for what I encountered (was not a heavy downpour)

The jacket is exactly what I was after, comfy, warm and with all the built in protection. The adjustable straps make it a perfect fit. The yellow flashes are a good visual element too. Lots of pockets for phones, keys etc
