Quick update. Got meself a Cirrus classic flying jacket. I went out for a quick blast yesterday and the thing is bloody warm, I mean toasty warm. Like having a heated jacket on. It may be too hot for the summer, but I'm loving it at the moment. Stuart
Why not get something like a helstons motorcycle jacket that's a similar price but is CE rated and has amour?
I bought a genuine ex RAF flying jacket from a junk shop for £2 in 1967 still have it and wear its OK in the cold weather to hot in the summer not very nice when the fur on the collar and cuffs gets wet.
I wonder if its legal to ride in one of those, looks superb tbh. Dunno how I'd fit me intercom in though. Now these bad boys, https://www.flying-jacket.com/trousers/sheepskin-trousers/ , well they are the dogs. Stuart
TBH I've got a Hein Gericke All Seasons textile 2 piece, and Ducati leather, I just fancied something different. I like the look of the vintage style flying jackets as well. Stuart
Wife and I bought these for bombing about in triumph Tr6 topless all year round ( the car not the wife before Ex starts slavering and demanding piccys) Rode the monster when I had it but the wind gets up the sleeves.
Yeah I've seen the range of stuff they do, but not quite the look of a proper vintage style aviator. Quite nice never the less, but not what I was looking for tbh. Stuart
I e got a Irvin. Mega warm but restrictive and very heavy. Got it from a vintage shop in Ludlow. Im not selling it, but will be good on the heffalump in the Spring. Saw a dainese flying jacket in Ebay, but it. This would be the perfect option as it had armour too.!!
