Nice review. It's a sharp jacket.. mostly. I like bomber jackets.. and really like the reflective material being used. biggest challenge I see with this jacket is not just price -- but paying this price without first being able to try it on in a store.. would be like buying a full leather suit... or, even buying a Hugo Boss dress suit online without giving it a test fit before spending that kind of premium price. I think for $1200+ it would be nice if there were tailored/made to order and buyers could provide dimensions.
This isn't actually a no compromise jacket at all. It's AA rated and looks good but that's about as far as it goes. The seams aren't sealed so it won't keep you dry, the sleeves are too short and the bottom of the jacket will rise up so it won't keep you fully covered, and the lining isn't removable so it won't let you stay cool either. I don't think this jacket has been well thought out at all.
Eh I mean... it looks okay. Thought Hedon would go for a more classic and classy style of jacket but they went with a bomber/Harrington style? A Barbour/belstaff approach would’ve been my preferred. Great method of review per usual
Interesting review. You don't get a back protector? The lining doesn't come out? It's beginning to sound a touch impractical. The elasticated waist and arm panels seem a cheap detail. And wouldn't the arms and waist ride up in a spill? Waterproof fabric but the seams aren't sealed. It gets worse by the minute. Thumbs up for the review, not the jacket, although I like it. If it was 500 pounds ...
Will suit the scooter boys more. Completely not what was expected from Hedon! Perhaps they should not have "thrown caution to the wind" and gone with high fashion. Their name would now easily carry a Belstaff/Barbour style jacket and take a good chunk of their sales. Pity. Great review as ever. Thanks.
