Traffic? Do you mean twisted and burning vehicle carcasses?

It feels very light on. The cut is good, it's shorter at the front so it doesn't bunch up when you're sat on the bike. The temp inside the jacket stayed the same both last night and this morning. The arms are long, which means they come up to your wrist when you're sat on the bike. My usual preference when its raining is to have the sleeve over the gloves, but I don't think that's going to be possible with this jacket. It's not an issue as the gauntlet is long on the waterproof gloves and there's a drawstring.

Loads of armour, which drops nicely into place when you've got the jacket on. I'm not sure yet if I'll replace the back protector with the OEM one, I'll have a better look at the supplied protector.

I say this at J&S when I was looking for my jacket. Looked like really good quaility. Sounds like you are pretty happy with it and also had a bloody good discount on it, good finding!

Sounds good kit (y)

You get what you pay for in terms of quality and for the all year round rider like yourself its a good investment.

I've left the jacket in the shower room at work, where it's deposited a nice puddle underneath it. I'll find out if any of the water has seeped in when I need to wear it to go home.

Another soaking on the way home and I'm bone dry.

Let's hope the quality means the jacket lasts and I get my money out of it
