The all-new Belstaff Riser jacket is one of the best armored leather jackets Belstaff has ever put out under its “Pure Motorcycle” line. Stylish reinforced ribbing at the elbows and shoulders cover give the jacket aggressive lines, which are softened by the material choice of 1-1.1mm calfskin leather. Plenty thick for a motorcycle jacket, but softer than pretty much anything we have in the store. This jacket delivers luxuriously soft leather, backed up by corduroy lining at the collar and cuffs. And it’s not just “all show and no go”— far from it, the Riser’s leather chassis is plenty thick and ready for the road, and it comes with CE approved armor at the shoulders and elbows. Easily removable if you want to wear the jacket off the bike, but hardly noticeable for when you are on two wheels. Note: This jacket fits mostly true to size, but is definitely on the trim side of the scale, and has a slightly tapered waist. Features: Removable armor at the shoulders and elbows* Tilted jetted pocket on the left chest with zip closure Two side pockets with zip closure Exposed center front zip closure Two position press studded collar Press studded hem closure Press studded cuff Buckle fastened adjusters on waistband Embroidered logo on left sleeve Zipper placement at the rear for trouser attachment Belstaff Phoenix branding on the left sleeve *This jacket comes with somewhat generic CE Level 1 armor included at the elbows and shoulders, and a pocket for a back protector, which is not included. For the Riser we recommend a CE Level 1 D3O Viper (Size Medium back armor for S-M; size Large for L and above).
