Motorcycle jacket/armour

Post by 1200boxer »

I saw this on Ebay. The atrocious English tells me it's probably from China but the specs look good. Or not
I live in the Algarve where it can be too hot (42ºC last Summer) to don a proper jacket so I tend to leave the bikes home which is a pity.
Any opinions? The thing looks nice and airy...

Not great, as it is still hard, restrictive, heavy and not that good of an protection. Summer Leather kit seemed better option, but decent ones are dear AF.

Worth seeing as them idiots in shorts and flippers do give me goose bumps and even rage when seen riding as they do in Spain.

Hope helps
Yes that's what I had in mind. I too go mad over those idiots in shorts and flippers. My sister is a nurse and tells me all sorts of horror stories.
You think the protection is not that great? I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg(scuse the pun) on expensive kit.
