Created from Vanson's hand waxed X150 leather, the Chopper is a period piece created from a collaborative of input. Inspired by Highway Patrol Department iconic style after WWII and quilting elements added from the Patrols of the Pacific Northeast the Chopper Jacket was built with function at the forefront. The use of a double layer of military-derived ballistic nylon spacer fabric under the quilted area - this resists compression, giving additional padding and energy absorption. It offers little resistance to airflow, so when the front lapels are opened cooling air flows through the quilted areas, making this jacket more comfortable in warm weather. When the front is zipped up, and the lapels are closed, the quilted areas become an insulating dead air space which keeps the rider warmer in winter.
