Is this jacket real leather?

No. The body is PU leather, a synthetic material with a leather-like finish, lined with viscose. It gives the biker look without the care and conditioning real leather needs.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes. The hood is detachable, so you can wear the jacket as a clean moto-style piece or keep the hood on for wind and rain.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It blocks wind and light rain, but it is not insulated. In freezing weather you will want a sweater or hoodie underneath.

How does it handle rain?

The coating is described as waterproof, so light rain and snow beads off. Prolonged heavy rain will still soak through seams over time.

How should I care for PU leather?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it air dry away from direct heat. Skip machine washing and harsh cleaners, which break down the coating.
