Defender Motorbike Jacket £25 plus £5 delivery @ M & P


£24.99

278°

FOUND BY: gari189 7 months, 3 weeks ago

In a range of colurs and sizes from 36" chest to 44" chest. These aren't going to be comparable to a £300 Hein Gericke jacket but for £25 its a bargain.

Features:
100% waterproof
CE Approved Armour in shoulders and arms
Pockets on front, back and inside
Thermal removable lining
Zipper attachment for pants
Adjustable arms and waist for comfort

Make the most of the delivery charge and have a browse in the clearance section. Unfortunately delivery to NI is £7 and Highlands & Islands £10 (but you do have great biking roads up there)

EDIT - now 38, 40 and 42" left (29th Mar 9.30pm)

If money is no object, read some reviews, then go to a motorbike store and by a more expensive one. If money is a consideration then I think its well worth a try. You could spend £200 on a jacket which may be tougher but it might leak or not fit in the right places. The armor is CE approved so the thing that might let the jacket down is the abrasion resistance. If you do find it lacking at least when you come to choose your next jacket you'll know what to look for.

I would say avoid having to use the armour in the first place and ride carefully. But CE approved armour means it will protect you should the need arise. That sort of money is fine for the occasional rider or one who's just starting out and not quite sure.

Mmm, good deal. These jackets will be better than your regular high street jackets, im saying this because how often have you had a pillion riding on the back with a flimsy jacket. Was thinking of getting one to have as a spare laying around.

Looks like they have some 36" jackets back in stock.

If you click on the link and it says "Product does not exist" it means a particular size and colour has sold out. Surest way to check what stock they have is to search for Defender and see what comes up....
