editing my review after having owned this jacket for a month; this is a really good product. the initial overwhelming smell of leather has mostly gone away, it's still present but much more manageable. the jacket wears very comfortably and the shape is cut very even (uneven sizing on leather jackets is a very common issue). the leather is soft but this is NOT NAPPA (PU), which is a low quality of leather. it is instead pretty good leather on its own and superb for the money. I have removed the armour, as I do not need it (I drive slowly), which makes the jacket even more comfy - I wear this nearly every day. it is nowhere near as uncomfortable as riding jackets. buy it, you will be surprised at the quality that you get for this little money. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW: if you are thinking "ill get myself a 200 quid jacket for 80 quid", you are wrong. First off, this jacket doesn't match the quality that you would get from a proper motorcycle jacket, and it's frankly absurd to think that it would. Try on a Dainese or Alpinestar and you'll know the difference. However, for 80 quid this is a steal. It wears well even if you are a bit plump, and the leather is reasonable for the money. As a stopgap motorcycle jacket, you cannot go wrong. It's not PU but actual leather, yet quite soft, although that's not necessarily something you'd want. The protection pads are decent, but i would recommend just removing them the moment you get it, as they make the jacket much less comfortable and honestly, you won't need them for city commuting - nor wold i expect them to provide any real protection in a high speed crash. The interior fabric is mediocre but not horrible, which is something common to too many motorcycle jackets. The smell of leather is intense, which some may like (i do) but some may not. It also looks like a nice day to day leather jacket, once the padding is removed, so you don't look like a complete baseball bat if you wear it in the office. I would absolutely recommend this jacket to anyone looking to get a cheap but efficient motorcycle jacket, while saving up the 300-400 quid you need for a race replica.
