Aye it is that.
Its an Alpinestars Twist jacket
The only thing I dont like but its only a niggle is that it has "soft armour" and it doesnt fit my elbows and shoulders quite right even though I have moved the armour around to suit me it never really seems to stay put. I prefer the jackets with the hard armour.
However
It has plenty of pockets and is nice and long so It doesnt ride up when I'm on the bike. The fleece is a nice touch and is nice and toasty warm. I've been out in winter in -5 or -6 and didnt get cold on the ride from Amesbury back to Yeovil ( around 50 miles )
It has a neoprene seal round the neck to stop the wet getting down in side the jacket. It came with a back protector in the back of the jacket but I took that out as I have a knox one.
Its never leaked and always keeps me warm and dry
It was £180 from J & S
I dont know what its like in summer as I have my leather jacket now. Personally I like having the leather now I feel more protected in it than I do in a textile jacket. Hence why I have two jackets. I've got a little thin waterproof overjacket that I pop on over my leather jacket if I get caught out in the rain or it gets to cold. |
