This is a black cowhide motorcycle jacket with built-in heating panels and zippered vents. The shell is 1.2-1.3mm thick cowhide treated with Cool-Tec. The treatment reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, so dark leather heats up less. Treated black leather reflects about 70% of sunlight, compared with 8% for conventional dark leather.
Heating panels sit across the chest, arms and back. A power button with the Milwaukee Leather logo is on the chest and lights up when the jacket is on. LED colors show the heat setting: red for high, white for medium and blue for low. The jacket has three heat settings. It can be powered by the included 7.4V rechargeable battery pack, which fits in a waterproof inside pocket. It can also be powered by the included wire harness, which connects to the motorcycle's battery. The battery pack and the wired harness must not be used at the same time.
The jacket has 2 chest vents and 2 back vents with zipper closures. An action back shoulder panel allows more movement when riding, and the lower back is padded. Reflective piping on the front, arms and back adds visibility at night. The jacket is fully lined with a satin liner.
