For an entire generation, the raptor is ‘that thing from Jurassic Park’; something which is now changed for the modern motorcycle rider by Macna and this Raptor motorcycle jacket. A waterproof 2-in-1 textile motorcycle jacket with removable thermal lining at this price, how could we refuse?
The exterior of this compact, short and well-designed motorcycle jacket is made of nubuck and Tensilex material. We can tell you that this material is wear resistant and sufficiently sturdy to act as a first layer of protection. It is, however, the integrated, waterproof and breathing Raintex® membrane that provides the vestimentary added value, with a guarantee for arriving at your destination in dry clothes.
That destination is probably somewhere in a moderate climate, not too far away from what mankind calls ‘civilisation’. The Raptor is not an arctic explorer (despite the removable thermal lining) and not a desert seeker, either. It is not the biggest adventurer out there. The Raptor is at its best where comfort and convenience are priorities and proper basic protection is desirable.
You decide on the CE-certified back protector, the level 1 elbow protection and level 1 shoulder protection come standard. The reflective details do what they’re good at, which means that the Raptor will never give you a scare like the raptor from Jurassic Park did. And instead of nightmares, the Raptor motorcycle jacket will give you wonderful rides on two wheels.
There are a (limited) number of adjustment options on the hip (Velcro) and the sleeve ends (same). What stands out is the Easy cuff technology, which prevents annoying loops and press studs from getting in the way. Thanks to the Coat hanger Lite, you can easily hang this Raptor from a coatrack, although if you ask us, it shouldn’t stay there for long.
Two wide slash pockets on the outside and a napoleon pocket offer storage space and illustrate once again that this is not meant to travel the world completely packed up. Everything a little less ambitious: yes, please.
A Belt Loop allows for an evident combination with motorcycle jeans pants. Take another look at the price tag, read this description again and you know that from now on, this is the only Raptor embedded in your memory.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
