Touring Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket

I dont know why but, despite buying most things from Amazon, I had previously neglected to look for Motorcycle gear here, always ending up paying over the odds from traditional motorcycle retailers. Well, what a revelation, this jacket is the biz. Soft leather, great fit and look and comfortable, with armour in all the right places and at an amazing price. 100% recommend.

This looks to have been a great choice. I'm 6'0 and 84kg with a 38-40' chest and the Large fits me great with the removable armour in. The arm length is perfect. The colour is great too and it is thick leather. It also can be worn as a normal jacket when you've got the armour out. It does smell very leathery (surprise!) which whilst I personally don't mind it (in fact quite like it), I can see why some commented on it. But aren't they all going to smell? Obviously, I have no idea (yet) if it would prove robust in a slide but it looks like it would perform even though it's only Type B, Level 1-rated. I guess it's pitched at the casual and fashionable user, where safety is considered but form rates higher than function. I'm very happy and would buy again.

For the winter I tend to wear a Neoprene Textile jacket which is great for the cold wet days but is not going to win any style points. So with a 'certain' birthday upon me I decided to go retro and get a leather this time in Brown. This jacket looks absolutely fantastic, the subtle distressed fading immediately gives it a slightly worn in look. With the stitched padding along the shoulders and elbows it already offers a degree of protection but with the supplied armoured pads for the joints this really will keep you as safe as it is possible to. The large spinal board is similarly going to be there for the hopefully never occur eventuality, but the edging feels more subtly contoured than on my previous leather. The leather itself feels a good thickness so should be again as protective as one would hope for. The fit is generous, especially if you don't need the removable lining in the warmer months, so do look at the sizing chart on the listing. The collar is a little stiff and with the zip coming right up to the top it can catch the skin when doing shoulder checks but with a scarf to seal off the air flow this won't be an issue. I wanted a retro look and this really does give it. A great jacket I can thoroughly recommend.

Expectations were high from reviews with "free" returns so why not , perfect jacket all round with good padding CE or whatever , can be removed for casual wear if that's a thing , nice leather not for vegans though stitching is high quality, zip single layer not designed to be waterproof and why should it be who wears leathers in the wet ? Size 2XL though I'm a XL in clothing this fits so well on the shoulders more than XL jackets belly wise it was perfect and comfy not tight - it's a loose fit and best appreciated when on the bike , wear a snood its low cut on the neck find it less constricting (61 Honda 500F rider ) .

I’ve tried a number of jackets for motorcycling, but this has to be the best. A really good fit, good protection, good leather, good (removable) quilt lining, strong zips and 5 pockets. Now I know that there are a couple of niggles from other reviewers - one zip not two on the main zipped front (I can put up with that as it’s only waist length not hip length); collar let’s in drafts (put on a scarf or roll down a hood - in the heat of summer, you will want some air flow). So I will ignore the niggles. To me, this is the best jacket I’ve had (I emphasise - for summer use!) I have other heavier, thicker jackets for use in the depths of a bad winter. I highly recommend this item - well done Texpeed!!

Well I read some of the reviews all seem good so I used the size chart and took advice of supplier and order the next size up came next day opened package and wow to my surprise it fitted looks great on and good deep pockets and quality thanks
