I've never liked big padded Jackets, especially when doing 30mph around the streets,
plus all suited up in leathers isn't really my thing,
(yes it's protection etc etc etc etc but I need to feel comfortable when riding)

I seen this Jacket and loved it!
red and black to go with the PCX as well,
it comes with a flexible back pad, elbow pads and shoulder pads,
but these can be taken out if needed...
and the fact it just looks like a normal casual hooded Jacket!

Got it for £133.99 from Minsitry Of Bikes, but THEN they emailed the next day (today) saying it isn't in stock,
so I did some searching and found one on another website for £127.18 but with another £10 off, so £117.18 and free delivery as well.

Just hoping the fit is ok, I didn't want it too tight as I like to be able to move around, but didn't want it too big to be flapping,
so fingers crossed it's an ok fit, especially in the summer I don't want to have a lot on under it,
and in winter I still want a bit of space for a Jumper under it, so... we'll see.

My son and I each have a ICON Sanctuary jacket . We like their 'heft', with a lot of leather and good armoured areas they are not light....but make us feel well protected.
His is 100% hi viz yellow --- very rare for a leather jacket.....mine is black....the only color in my size.
Not cheap @$300 each....but not the most expensive, either.

Please give follow up because this looks good, especially the pocket choices for armor adjustment. I don't know if armpit vents are enough. It's not mesh outer so that might make you feel the need for a second hot weather jacket. I really like the hoodie. Billy wants to know if they offer gangster hood sizes so he can pull over his helmet

Jacket's really nice, a lot thicker than it 'looks' though, now I see what they meant in reviews about wearing in Summer (being black as well), also the weight, isn't as heavy as other Jackets i've seen though, and again, being small etc myself, I didn't want something heavy and uncomfortable as riding is my 'get away' so I like to be comfortable, still no Bike though so cant even test it properly yet :-( hopefully get it back soon!
