- Is the armor included?
- Yes. The jacket ships with CE-rated armor at the shoulders, elbows and back. Check that the back protector is in its pocket before your first ride.
- Is it good in hot weather?
- The vented panels move air when you are riding, so it is cooler than a solid leather jacket. It is still leather, so it will not breathe like a mesh jacket in slow traffic.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut in a racer style, which runs trim through the chest and waist. Riders who layer a hoodie underneath often go up a size.
- Can I wear it off the bike?
- Yes. The plain black leather and simple racer collar look like a casual jacket, though the armor adds weight and stiffness.
- How does it compare with a mesh jacket?
- Leather gives better abrasion protection and a longer lifespan. Mesh flows more air but offers less slide protection, so the Racer is the safer pick for highway riding.
- Does the leather need breaking in?
- Yes. New leather starts stiff at the elbows and shoulders and softens over several rides. A leather conditioner speeds it up.
