This looks like a lumberjack's shirt, but is actually a full-fledged motorcycle jacket, and offers a lot more protection than you would get from non-motorcycling clothing. Ideal for urban, short trips or a summer alternative to the full-blooded motorcycle jacket.
A hard-wearing cotton exterior helps. Yes, but cotton isn't hard-wearing, is it? No, but if you add a layer of Aramid (Kevlar®) underneath it, you come pretty close. The strength of this Jaguar is under its skin. Germas uses a polyester lining that keeps the unit absolutely comfortable and pleasant.
It is a legal requirement that motorcycle clothing is closed by a zipper, so the sturdy snaps hide a central zipper behind a flap. The sleeve ends show a similar phenomenon, and here you can use the double press stud to choose for a tighter or looser effect.
Furthermore this is mainly 'what you see is what you get': a shirt with motorbike ambitions. That also means that there is no endless series of extras. Two chest pockets that can be closed provide a bit of storage, complemented by an inner pocket.
Adjustment possibilities are not really necessary and because the whole has a certain degree of natural permeability, the Jaguar is first and foremost a warm-blooded animal.
Well developed and equally well designed is the shoulder area, at the back. Where an 'ordinary' shirt in the motorcycle position - with the arms and shoulders forward - would always be under tension, extra fabric is provided and processed. It makes riding a lot more pleasant.
The elbow and shoulder protectors are flexible and light, removable, and of course, CE-certified. An optional back protector can be fitted if required.
The cut is quite standard, although the back is a bit longer and the Belt Loop prevents you from riding with your back bare.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. Invest in its maintenance after purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
