Tried out jacket this alvo on a short burn around the ways - spose this will bite me back, but, anyways... I ended up removing the armour in the back

was kinda constricting my movements nah actually it was `a pain in me back`!! The shoulder/elbow armour were all good-didnt hinder my movements. Other than that-quite happy with my score- some sellers/dealers are flicking off the same jkt for $500-

I have a blue one which replaced my red suomy after my crash. It is much softer leather than the suomy and longer in the back - I have a little "duck tail" where the shaping of the back peaks slightly. When I had a zip sewn into it so it can be zipped to my pants it showed up more, but other than that I'm very happy with mine.
Getting a bit of a sore left elbow from the armour, but I suspect that will wear off in time as it wears in.

Put the armor back in please.

You will get used to it as the jacket wears in.

If you don't use the jacket armour think seriously about getting a back protector ... your back protection is essential!

My friend threw her Harley down beside me at Teretonga in the weekend, saw it all happen right beside me!

front wheel lock-up, she had a slide. I was so impressed with how her clothing armour in the elbows shoulders saved her pointy bits. Clothing was shredded, armour gouged, but apart from that walked away fine.
