Motorcycling and leather are forever linked. The relationship goes back to the origins of the sport. I guess that's why I like leather jackets with a classic look and feel. The REV'IT! CR Leather Jacket fits this bill. I can't help but think the "CR" stands for café racer -- as in the raucous racers of the 1950s.
For safety and crash protection, the shell is constructed of Augustini full grain cowhide and Lorica. Armor is what the company calls "ProLife" CE armor… a political statement? Anyway, the CE part is what you are looking for. Back protection is foam, and the jacket is safety stitched.
Ventilation is handled by some limited areas of perforation, so this is not a jacket for the hottest of days. For cold weather duty, the jacket comes with a detachable thermal body-warmer. The jacket has subtle slit pockets in the front as well as internal pockets.
As I mentioned before, the jacket has a nice classic look, at least to my eye. There are front, rear, and sleeve stripes. The jacket comes in two motifs -- one with a black scheme, the other in white and cream. Sizes 46 to 58 are offered. The measurements are European, so use the size chart.
The REV'IT! CR Leather Jacket is a nice-looking functional jacket that is reminiscent of the jackets of the 50s.
