The Downtown WP motorcycle jacket by GMS is a laminated motorcycle jacket with … wait: a laminated motorcycle jacket at this price? That has to be a mistake.
Or not: no large logo, GERMATEX®-membrane and pretty straightforward, the GMS Downtown WP is the motorcycle jacket equivalent of minimum service, bringing everything back to its essence. Price too: “You can’t make it yourself for that money”, is what ‘granny’ would have mumbled. Less is more, plain is the new stylish and so on, and so on, just don’t leave it without considering it.
The outer material of this light motorcycle jacket is a soft polyester. Nothing like you are used to when rummaging through the rack of motorcycle jackets. The elastic, GERMATEX® laminated textile allows you to naturally discover the playing field of the Downtown. This waterproof motorcycle jacket feels completely at home in the city, is a civilised commuter and a motorcycle jacket that doesn’t feel the need to shine brightly. You can easily wear this to walk through town, into shops and offices while knowing that you can also use this to step on your motorcycle or scooter in comfort and safety.
The laminated exterior creates a breathing and waterproof environment. The removable thermal lining gives you an additional layer that protects you against weather elements. Other protection – impact – is also accounted for: the CE-certified and height-adjustable elbow and shoulder protectors are sufficient to act as they should under ‘normal’ conditions and if you really want to go undercover, you can just leave them at home. It should be clear by now that you don’t enter into a MotoGP® race in this GMS Downtown WP.
This doesn’t mean that this fun motorcycle jacket lacks opportunity. The short or long combination zip and the Belt Loop leave every option open. If you want to, you can wear this anytime, anywhere.
With a number of storage pockets in the right places and a clean and neat finish with zips on the sleeve ends, without any redundant ballast, you can’t really go wrong by adding this GMS Downtown WP motorcycle jacket to your wardrobe.
