learningtofly Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I bought one of these lovely jackets here very recently, then bought another from my training school shop, and then bought a leather Revit. The second jacket has been given to my son and I'm keeping the Revit; however, I don't need two relatively heavy bike jackets so I'm going to move the Hardy on. It's been worn about half a dozen times so is as new - hence the stock photo below. Features:Micro mesh breathable wax cotton and polyester constructionRemovable quilted thermal linerCE armour at elbows and shouldersPocket for optional back protector (Note that it has additional back protection too now)Two front exterior chest pockets and two zipped hand pocketsDual ventilation for increased airflowReflective components for increased visibilityPopper secured cuffs and collar closure systemRemovable Velcro badge patchI also bought a level 1 back protector for it, and that will be included in the sale. It took the total cost up to about £165, allowing for the sale discount at Sportsbikeshop (the cheapest anywhere).Given that it's nearly new, I think that £125 delivered (UK only) would be a very fair price. For anyone looking for a classic style bike jacket with armour for the back, shoulders and elbows, this should be spot on.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 My husband has that jacket. He also doesn’t wear it since he bought something else which is a shame because it’s a well cut jacket and dare I say flattering for men with more of a barrel than a 6 pack!

Haha... suits my 1-pack perfectly Seriously, though (!), in terms of fit I have a 40” chest, 33” waist and weigh 11st; there’s easily room for layering even with the thermal lining installed, without it being too large with just a t-shirt on. True to size, I’d say, as a 40/medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestrivens Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 One can not have too many biking jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learningtofly Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 One can not have too many biking jackets. Haha... you’re not the first person to say that to me, Mike. I’m just not sure it goes as well with the Triple as it does with the Twin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
