Traditional looks and great performance

By: Martin Smith on 20 March 2022

Having a belstaff jacket when I was younger I had high expectations for a waxed cotton jacket. I wasnt going to spend this much on a jacket however given the weather lately and how often I ride, I thought I would give it a shot. I am so glad I did. I have ridden through torrential storms (NSW north coast in March), steaming hot humid days in the bush and cold foggy mornings on the freeway. The jacket is superb, it is so comfortable I hate taking it off. It does not let a single drop of water in yet breathes very well, I dont even take the liner out on warm days or remove the armor. The quality of the zippers, seams, snap buttons and liner are excellent. The clasp at the neck keeps the air, rain and lantana out. The pocket on the front is great for your phone or wallet. Excellent value for money and if you like the classic look so much the better. To remain balanced the only thing I can fault is the inner drawstring is quite long, even without drawing it in you will find yourself looping the ends or stuffing them in an inner pocket, but thats the only fault I can find! Great jacket! Thanks Merlin and thanks RPM always great products and impeccable service!!!
