I actually was very enthusiastic about this jacket: unpacking, Visual inspection and febrile Threading:) before climbing on the wheel see what ca gives city and highway.
Inspection
This jacket is heavy, very heavy even. The leather is thick and good quality, the seams are solid. Once again with a product Excelcior, finish is impeccable: nothing wrong on this side.
Her Cup is simple and sober, elegant. It does not resemble a motorcycle jacket, and even the protections are not easily discernible at first glance, but they are well present: forwards arm/elbow, shoulder and back. They are removable.
Reissa waterproof and breathable membrane is present as on almost all the Excelcior range.
The vest in Thinsulate, very nice and removable, is fixed thanks to strong pressure, but not large enough to make it really well adjusted. Damage.
The external pockets are not watertight, but the vest to a Pocket interérieure, and jacket also.
The fitting
It is really heavy, somewhat rigid, but the leather is not in one day.
Immediately, a small problem: the protections at the shoulders tend to be decaller aft by sliding in their location. I hope that it is specific to the model I received, because all those who brought him noticed this problem.
In the meantime, he took that I repositions them to each thread, manoeuvre relatively little practice. If it had been my jacket, I have just done a small point of sewing in their empalcement to prevent drag.
Once this problem set, it is pleasant to wear and eventually to forget a little weight.
The zips metal prior to and at the front arms are a little hard, but a blow of parafine rule this problem.
Pressure strap that closes the neck is a little "short", one or two centimetres in addition would not have been too...
On road
LÃ , I feel less ridiculous qu'avec jacket in cordura bleue-noire;):)
After a few changes in the city, or the (temporary) stiffness of the jacket was prevented not manoeuvre, towards the mountain.
Wind protection is good despite a small leak at the level of the wrists, and the tiend warm jacket.
Of long winters journey should not be a major problem.
Even without the jacket, the leather is thick enough for the proper protection from the cold.
At the moment, it rained without stopping, and I have not cut this time to carabinée showers on the back...
The leather is not too soaked, and the lining under the zips has perfectly fulfilled its role. The pass also left pass the slightest drop of water.
However, the external pockets are not, but then any waterproof...
Conclusion
If you are looking for a portable stylish jacket to the city, with protection of quality, it is the shield that need you. For a little more than 400 euros, its many quality know to forget a few defects that work easily.
