    That jacket look to tick all the boxes, liner, armour, reflective bits, etc, and for a good price with free delivery too. Make sure you wear a thick jumper or two when you take measurements so it will fit over a jumper when riding.
    I wear an old Bellstaff that I bought new in 1976. Been down the road three times now and only just scuffed the material.

    Dririder is a well known brand but I just don't know what the inside looks like not buying it if I can't find a photo of the inside...

    Matador

    More than 10 available / 1 sold


    I guess unless u want colors Id go the Dririder

    I like the neck setup on the Matador though but cant see any external pockets

    Dririder : Two outer, two inner pockets + mobile pocket

    Got the same Dririder jacket @Bluey mine has bright green reflective material on the arms and chest. You will be stoked, I don't get cold or hot and feels pretty snug. Hope you got the next size up so you can stack some layers underneath it when need be.

    Just go to your local bike shop with the tyre specs and fit what you can / what is cheapest / what is stickiest / best we weather grip etc.
