Australian Bikers Gear - Sturgis Jacket

[wr6133]

Had this jacket over 18 months now. It's seen a lot of miles. Cost is £79.99 from Australian bikers gear/biker gear UK. They have a site and are on Amazon and eBay (if you search "Sturgis jacket" in eBay it pops up). Ignore their thing about it being reduced from some much larger price it's always been 79.99! If you are in South Wales they now have a shop in Barry (near Cardiff).

The Good

Good thick leather, no real blemishes or imperfections

Very warm waistcoat style removable liner makes it good in the cold, mesh lining and zip vents make it equally as good in the hot if you remove the waistcoat liner.

Sturdy zips, work as they should

CE shoulder and elbow armour, decent enough back pad/armour all removable.

Looks good

Solid construction and stitching on the leather

The bad

They saved money on the material the pockets are made from. Had to stitch a hole that a set of keys poked in mine.

No internal pockets just the 4 outer ones.

They use Yodel as their delivery company (if yodel can be classed as a delivery company).

I'd recommend this jacket to anyone. A penny shy of £80 is seriously good value for what you get. The pockets are a bit crappy but at the price that's ok the leather is good and the construction solid. It looks good on or off the bike and mine has seen a lot of wear without any real issues.
