With the weather transitioning to colder and wetter conditions in many parts of the northern hemisphere, motorcyclists are updating their wardrobes to adapt to the changing weather. This means saying goodbye to lightweight mesh gear and hello to thicker, insulated apparel. European gear distributor XLMoto introduces the Course Commuter jacket, designed specifically for urban riders who brave uncertain weather conditions.
The Course Commuter jacket claims to be versatile and suitable for all weather conditions, although its design suggests that it excels during the mid-season period and in rainy weather. It is primarily made from textile fabrics, with a polyester canvas and a laminated membrane on the outside, making it both waterproof and breathable. The jacket also features additional ventilation zips on the chest and back. When the temperature drops, you can install the included thermal liner on the inside to keep warm and comfortable. The inner liner resembles a down jacket and can even be worn independently off the bike.
In terms of protective features, the Course Commuter jacket is classified as a Class A certified jacket according to the EN17092-4:2020 standard. It achieves this certification with level 1 protectors on the elbows and shoulders, as well as a built-in pocket for an optional back protector. Additionally, the polyester canvas on the outside offers abrasion resistance.
For comfort, the jacket features multiple straps and snaps for adjustment, ensuring a snug fit and minimizing wind buffeting at higher speeds. It also comes with multiple pockets, including two exterior pockets and two interior ones. Additionally, the jacket has a zipper at the back that allows for compatibility with pants, providing a more secure fit.
The new Course Commuter jacket is now available for purchase on XLMoto’s online retail platform. It comes in two colors: khaki and black, allowing for easy coordination with your bike and other gear. The jacket is available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, and it has a suggested retail price of 119.99 Euros.
