A Jacket for all seasons

Investing in decent motorcycle gear is worth it. Lots of cliches come into play- 'The quality remains long after the price is forgotten' and 'buy cheap, buy twice'. No, this jacket isn't cheap, but it's the type of investment we're talking about.

Warm winter motorcycle jackets from GetGeared
Held Montero GTX Gore-Tex motorcycle jacket £489.95

This is a true four season jacket, it'll keep you warm in winter, cool in summer and protected all year round. The layer system and Gore-Tex is the key. We'll explain!

The Held Montero GTX motorbike jacket maximises the layering principle to give you a biking jacket that truly works all year round and on any journey. 'Gore-Tex LTD' refers to an internal removable Gore jacket that can be worn separately as a wind and rain cheater; While it is zipped into the jacket it provides the waterproof and breathable protection Gore-Tex is renowned for. 

When the inner layer jacket is removed, the outer Cordura jacket provides all the protection you need, including CE armour at elbows and shoulders, and allows maximum airflow. A removable thermal inner lining completes the all season performance. Plenty of pockets make this jacket practical for travel and everyday use. To top it off: It looks great! A Gore-Tex motorcycle jacket with a sporty edge.

The ultimate winter performance leather gloves, now with the endorsement from MCN's long-term test: The maximum 5-Star award! Solid protection, unrivalled comfort, dry & warm. Hands retain warmth thanks to the unique PrimaLoft lining: A high-tech polyester lining that is woven into an ultra-light felt, described by the Sunday Times as THE performance outerwear insulation to look out for; The insulation values are similar to feather down, with the advantage that it does not absorb moisture. Aniline finished hide produces a soft, supple leather that ensures the gloves' breathability: keeping the insides drier means they are more effective against wind chill. Last but not least: Gore-Tex means these gloves are waterproof, whatever the weather!
