Best summer jacket
15 July 2025 by Louis
Excellent level of protection, comes with loads of D30 armour, including back protector.
Good level of ventilation road for a few hours in 27 degrees and it did well in keeping me cool.
Style: Olive

Classic summer jacket
20 February 2025 by Steve B
I've not worn the jacket when riding my bike yet. It's well constructed with ample room, I can see the mesh panels will allow airflow during warm weather. The zips are quality and perform well the pockets are okay though an additional inside pocket would be of benefit. The jacket fabric feels soft and is comfortable to wear with a low collar with adjustable measures on both sleeves. I'm going to enjoy wearing this when the warm weather arrives.

Description
The Mahala Raid provides stacks of cool airflow for riders looking to explore hotter climates. The large mesh panels drag in air to keep it circulating around the body, while the abrasion-resistant Cordura water-repellent outer, combined with five-piece D3O armour offers confidence in protection. Inside, a fixed mesh lining helps to wick away moisture leaving the rider cool, dry and comfortable.
